speed, climb time, cruising altitude and
range. The C-130J has 55 feet of cargo
compartment length, an additional 15
feet over the original ‘‘short‘‘ aircraft.
Hardware is UNCLASSIFIED. Technical
data and documentation to be provided
is UNCLASSIFIED.
2. Embedded GPS-INS (EGI) LN-260 is
a sensor that combines GPS and inertial
sensor inputs to provide accurate
location information for navigation and
targeting.
3. Multifunctional Information
Distribution System (MIDS) is an
advanced Link-16 command, control,
communications, and intelligence (C3I)
system incorporating high-capacity,
jam-resistant, digital communication
links for exchange of near realtime
tactical information, including both data
and voice, among air, ground, and sea
elements. The MIDS terminal hardware,
publications, performance
specifications, operational capability,
parameters, vulnerabilities to
countermeasures, and software
documentation are classified
CONFIDENTIAL. The classified
information to be provided consists of
that which is necessary for the
operation, maintenance, and repair
(through intermediate level) of the data
link terminal, installed systems, and
related software.
4. The AN/AAQ-24(V)N LAIRCM is a
self-contained, directed energy
countermeasures system designed to
protect aircraft from infrared-guided
surface-to-air missiles. The system
features digital technology and microminiature solid-state electronics. The
system operates in all conditions,
detecting incoming missiles and
jamming infrared-seeker equipped
missiles with aimed bursts of laser
energy. The LAIRCM system consists of
multiple Missile Warning Sensors,
Guardian Laser Turret Assemblies
(GLTA), LAIRCM System· Processor
Replacement (LSPR), Control Indicator
Unit Replacement (CIUR), and a
classified User Data Memory (UDM)
card containing the laser jam codes. The
UDM card is loaded into LAIRCM
System Processor Replacement (LSPR)
prior to flight; when not in use, the
UDM card is removed from the LSPR
and put in secure storage. The Missile
Warning Sensors (MWS) for AN/AAQ24 (V)N are mounted on the aircraft
exterior to provide omni-directional
protection. The MWS detects the rocket
plume of missiles and sends appropriate
data signals to the LSPR for processing.
The LSPR analyzes the data from each
sensor and automatically deploys the
appropriate countermeasure via the
GLTA. The CIUR displays the incoming

Jkt 250001
threat. The LSPR also contains Built-InTest (BIT) circuitry.
5. The AN/ALE-47 Counter-Measures
Dispensing System (CMDS) is an
integrated, threat-adaptive, softwareprogrammable dispensing system
capable of dispensing chaff, flares, and
active radio frequency expendables. The
threats countered by the CMDS include
radar-directed anti-aircraft artillery,
radar command-guided missiles, radar
homing guided missiles, and infrared
guided missiles. The system is
internally mounted and may be
operated as a stand-alone system or may
be integrated with other on-board EW
and avionics systems. The AN/ALE-47
uses threat data received over the
aircraft interfaces to assess the threat
situation and to determine a response.
Expendable routines tailored to the
immediate aircraft and threat
environment may be dispensed using
one of four operational modes.
Hardware is UNCLASSIFIED. Technical
data and documentation to be provided
is UNCLASSIFIED.
6. The AN/AAR-47A(V)2 Missile
Warning System is a small, lightweight,
passive, electro-optic, threat warning
device used to detect surface-to-air
missiles fired at helicopters and lowflying fixed-wing aircraft and
automatically provide countermeasures,
as well as audio and visual-sector
warning messages to the aircrew. The
basic system consists of multiple
Optical Sensor Converter (OSC) units, a
Computer Processor (CP) and a Control
Indicator (Cl). The set of OSC units,
which normally consist of four, is
mounted on the aircraft exterior to
provide omnidirectional protection. The
OSC detects the rocket plume of
missiles and sends appropriate signals
to the CP for processing. The CP
analyses the data from each OSC and
automatically deploys the appropriate
countermeasures. The CP also contains
comprehensive BIT circuitry. The CI
displays the incoming direction of the
threat, so that the pilot can take
appropriate action. Hardware is
UNCLASSIFIED. Technical data and
documentation to be provided is
UNCLASSIFIED.
7. The AN/ALR-56M Advanced Radar
Warning Receiver continuously detects
and intercepts RF signals in certain
frequency ranges and analyzes and
separates threat signals from non-threat
signals. It contributes to fulldimensional protection by providing
individual aircraft probability of
survival through improved aircrew
situational awareness of the radar
guided threat environment. The ALR56M is designed to provide improved
performance in a dense signal

environment and improved detection of
modern threats signals. Hardware is
UNCLASSIFIED. Technical data and
documentation to be provided is
UNCLASSIFIED.
8. Joint Mission Planning System
(JMPS) is a multi-platform PC based
mission planning system. JMPS
hardware is UNCLASSIFIED but the
software is classified up to SECRET.
9. The MX-20HD is a gyro-stabilized,
multi-spectral, multi field of view
ElectroOptical/ Infrared (EO/IR) system.
The system provides surveillance laser
illumination and laser designation
through use of an externally mounted
turret sensor unit and internally
mounted master control. Sensor video
imagery is displayed in the aircraft real
time and may be recorded for
subsequent ground analysis.
10. This sale will involve the release
of sensitive and/or classified
cryptographic equipment for secure
communications radios, precision
navigation, and cryptographic appliques
and keying equipment. The hardware is
UNCLASSIFIED, except where systems
are loaded with cryptographic software,
which may be classified up to SECRET.
11. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures that might
reduce weapon system effectiveness or
be used in the development of a system
with similar or advanced capabilities.
12. A determination has been made
that New Zealand can provide
substantially the same degree of
protection for the sensitive technology
being released as the U.S. Government.
This sale is necessary in furtherance of
the U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives outlined in the
Policy Justification.
13. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal are authorized
for release and export to the
Government of New Zealand.
