review requirements under Section
36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act, as
amended. This equipment will support
the capabilities of UAE’s Apache fleet
and enhance interoperability with the
United States.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
The AH–64E Apache Attack
Helicopter weapon system contains
communications and target
identification equipment, navigation
equipment, aircraft survivability
equipment, displays, and sensors. The
airframe itself does not contain sensitive
technology; however, the pertinent
equipment listed below will be either
installed on the aircraft or included in
the sale:
a. The Radar Electronic Unit (REU) is
a component upgrade to the AN/APG–
78 Fire Control Radar (FCR). The REU
replaces two legacy Line Replaceable
Units (Programmable Signal Processor
and Low Power Radio Frequency),
achieving a weight reduction of
approximately 85 pounds, with
improved reliability, increased
processing power, growth for new
modes/capabilities and replacement of
obsolete components. Critical system
information is stored in the FCR/REU in
the form of mission executable code,
target detection, classification
algorithms and coded threat parametric.
This information is provided in a form
that cannot be extracted by the foreign
user via anti-tamper provisions built
into the system.
b. The AN/APG–78 Fire Control Radar
(FCR) is an active, low-probability of
intercept, millimeter-wave radar,
combined with a passive AN/APR–48B
Modernized Radar Frequency
Interferometer (M–RFI) mounted on top
of the helicopter mast. The FCR Ground
Targeting Mode detects, locates,
classifies and prioritizes stationary or
moving armored vehicles, tanks and
mobile air defense systems as well as
hovering helicopters, helicopters, and
fixed wing aircraft in normal flight. If
desired, the radar data can be used to
refer targets to the regular electro-optical
Modernized Target Acquisition and
Designation Sight (MTADS). This
information is provided in a form that
cannot be extracted by the foreign user.
The content of these items is classified
SECRET. User Data Module (UDM) on
the RFI processor, contains the Radio
Frequency threat library. The UDM,
which is a hardware assemblage, is
classified CONFIDENTIAL when
programmed with threat parameters,
threat priorities and/or techniques
derived from U.S. intelligence
information.
c. The AN/ASQ–170 Modernized
Target Acquisition and Designation
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
35609
Sight/AN/AAQ–11 Pilot Night Vision
Sensor (MTADS/PNVS) provides day,
night, and limited adverse weather
target information, as well as night
navigation capabilities. The PNVS
provides thermal imaging that permits
nap-of-the-earth flight to, from, and
within the battle area, while TADS
provides the co-pilot gunner with
search, detection, recognition, and
designation by means of Direct View
Optics (DVO), EI2 television, and
Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR)
sighting systems that may be used
singularly or in combinations. Hardware
is UNCLASSIFIED. Technical manuals
for authorized maintenance levels are
UNCLASSIFIED. Reverse engineering is
not a major concern.
d. The AAR–57 Common Missile
Warning System (CMWS) detects energy
emitted by threat missiles in-flight,
evaluates potential false alarm emitters
in the environment, declares validity of
threat and selects appropriate
countermeasures. The CMWS consists
of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU),
Electro-Optic Missile Sensors (EOMSs),
and Sequencer and Improved
Countermeasures Dispenser (ICMD).
The ECU hardware is classified
CONFIDENTIAL; releasable technical
manuals for operation and maintenance
are classified SECRET.
e. The Embedded Global Positioning
System/Inertial Navigation System plus
Multi Mode Receiver (EGI+MMR) The
aircraft has two EGIs which use internal
accelerometers, rate gyro measurements,
and external sensor measurements to
estimate the aircraft state, provides
aircraft flight and position data to
aircraft systems. The EGI is a velocityaided, strap down, ring laser gyro based
inertial unit. The EGI unit houses a GPS
receiver. The receiver is capable of
operating in either non-encrypted or
encrypted. When keyed, the GPS
receiver will automatically use antispoof/jam capabilities when they are in
use. The EGI will retain the key through
power on/off/on cycles. Because of
safeguards built into the EGI, it is not
considered classified when keyed.
Integrated within the EGI is an Inertial
Measurement Unit (IMU) for processing
functions. Each EGI also houses a MultiMode Receiver (MMR). The MMR is
incorporated to provide for reception of
ground based NAVAID signals for
instrument aided flight. Provides IMC I
IFR integration and certification of
improved Embedded Global Positioning
System and Inertial (EGI) unit, with
attached MMR, with specific cockpit
instrumentation allows Apaches to
operate within the worldwide IFR route
structure. Also includes integration of
the Common Army Aviation Map

Video Terminal. It provides Apache
aircrews with increased situational
awareness and net-centric
interoperability while significantly
reducing sensor-to-shooter timelines.
This combination results in increased
survivability of Apache aircrews and
ground forces by decreasing their
exposure to hostile fire.

flight. If desired, the radar data can be used to refer targets to the
regular electro-optical Modernized Target Acquisition and Designation
Sight (MTADS). This information is provided in a form that cannot be
extracted by the foreign user. The content of these items is classified
SECRET. User Data Module (UDM) on the RFI processor, contains the Radio
Frequency threat library. The UDM, which is a hardware assemblage, is
classified CONFIDENTIAL when programmed with threat parameters, threat
priorities and/or techniques derived from U.S. intelligence
information.
c. The AN/ASQ-170 Modernized Target Acquisition and Designation
Sight/AN/AAQ-11 Pilot Night Vision Sensor (MTADS/PNVS) provides day,
night, and limited adverse weather target information, as well as night
navigation capabilities. The PNVS provides thermal imaging that permits
nap-of-the-earth flight to, from, and within the battle area, while
TADS provides the co-pilot gunner with search, detection, recognition,
and designation by means of Direct View Optics (DVO), EI2 television,
and Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sighting systems that may be used
singularly or in combinations. Hardware is UNCLASSIFIED. Technical
manuals for authorized maintenance levels are UNCLASSIFIED. Reverse
engineering is not a major concern.
d. The AAR-57 Common Missile Warning System (CMWS) detects energy
emitted by threat missiles in-flight, evaluates potential false alarm
emitters in the environment, declares validity of threat and selects
appropriate countermeasures. The CMWS consists of an Electronic Control
Unit (ECU), Electro-Optic Missile Sensors (EOMSs), and Sequencer and
Improved Countermeasures Dispenser (ICMD). The ECU hardware is
classified CONFIDENTIAL; releasable technical manuals for operation and
maintenance are classified SECRET.
e. The Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation
System plus Multi Mode Receiver (EGI+MMR) The aircraft has two EGIs
which use internal accelerometers, rate gyro measurements, and external
sensor measurements to estimate the aircraft state, provides aircraft
flight and position data to aircraft systems. The EGI is a velocity-
aided, strap down, ring laser gyro based inertial unit. The EGI unit
houses a GPS receiver. The receiver is capable of operating in either
non-encrypted or encrypted. When keyed, the GPS receiver will
automatically use anti-spoof/jam capabilities when they are in use. The
EGI will retain the key through power on/off/on cycles. Because of
safeguards built into the EGI, it is not considered classified when
keyed. Integrated within the EGI is an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
for processing functions. Each EGI also houses a Multi-Mode Receiver
(MMR). The MMR is incorporated to provide for reception of ground based
NAVAID signals for instrument aided flight. Provides IMC I IFR
integration and certification of improved Embedded Global Positioning
System and Inertial (EGI) unit, with attached MMR, with specific
cockpit instrumentation allows Apaches to operate within the worldwide
IFR route structure. Also includes integration of the Common Army
Aviation Map

(CAAM), Area Navigation (RNAV), Digital Aeronautical Flight Information
File (DAFIF) and Global Air Traffic Management (GATM) compliance.
f. Manned-Unmanned Teaming-International (MUMT-I) provides Manned-
Unmanned Teaming with Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs), other Apaches and
other interoperable aircraft and land platforms. Provides ability to
display real-time UAS sensor information to aircraft and transmit MTADS
video. Capability to receive video and metadata from Interoperability
Profile compliant (IOP) as well as legacy systems. It is a data link
for the AH-64E that provides a fully integrated multiband,
interoperable capability that allows pilots to receive off-board sensor
video streaming from different platforms in non-Tactical Common Data
Link (TCDL) bands. The MUMT I data link can retransmit UAS or Apache
Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight full-motion sensor
video and metadata to another MUMT-I-equipped Apache. It can also
transmit to ground forces equipped with the One Station Remote Video
Terminal. It provides Apache aircrews with increased situational
awareness and net-centric interoperability while significantly reducing
sensor-to-shooter timelines. This combination results in increased
survivability of Apache aircrews and ground forces by decreasing their
exposure to hostile fire.
