solid-state system is MIL-E-5400 class II
qualified and meets international
operability requirements by providing
50-kHz channel spacing for 160-VOR
and 40-localizer/glideslope channels.
Digital and analog outputs of the AN/
ARN-147 ensure compatibility with
high-performance flight control systems
and both digital and analog instruments.
Modular construction techniques give
quick access to all cards and modules to
reduce repair time.
9. The AN/ARC-210 629F-23 (nonCOMSEC) multimode integrated
communication system is designed to
provide multimode voice and data
communications in either normal or
jam-resistant modes in line-of-sight
mode. The system is capable of
establishing 2-way communication links
over the 30 to 512MHz frequency range
in tactical aircraft environments.
10. The AN/APN-194 Radar Altimeter
Receiver-Transmitter is a highresolution device which measures
altitude from 0 to 5,000 feet Above
Ground Level (AGL). The radar
altimeter measures the time (analogous
to distance) required for a pulse of
electromagnetic energy to travel from
the aircraft to the ground and back to
the aircraft. The AN/APN-194 employs
a narrow-pulse transmission in the Cband range with leading edge tracking of
the echo pulse. Altitude range
information is obtained by comparing
the received echo pulse with a timed
ramp voltage generated simultaneously
with the transmitted pulse. The output
of the AN/APN-194 is fed into the
autopilot of the target to control the
altitude of low-flying targets.
11. The AN/ASN-163 is a 5-channel
Miniature Airborne GPS Receiver
(MAGR) that provides Over-TheHorizon and secure navigation
capabilities using satellite information.
12. The M240 Machine Gun (7.62mm)
is a defensive weapon system used to
support troop insertion and medical
evacuation missions.

13. The Joint Mission Planning
System (JMPS) is a PC-based common
approach for aircraft mission planning.
It is a system of common and hostplatform-unique mission planning
applications for Navy and Marine Corps
aircraft. Using a ‘‘building block‘‘
approach, developers integrate and
assemble a JMPS Mission Planning
Environment (MPE) from a set of
software sub-components to meet the
needs of a particular aircraft type. An
MPE consists of a framework, one or
more common components/federated
applications, and a Unique Planning
Component (UPC). The foundation of an
MPE is the framework, which allows the
host operating system to interface and
interact with the MPE. The second level
of an MPE consists of the common
components and/or federated
applications; these applications provide
functionality that is common to
multiple aircraft platforms (i.e. weather
or GPS munitions). The final level of
software is the UPC, which provides
platform-specific functionality and
integrates the common components
functions and the framework interface
to produce the overall mission planning
software environment for the platform.
When bundled, the three levels of
software become an MPE that is specific
to a single aircraft type. Depending on
the aircraft model, a JMPS MPE might
operate on a stand-alone, locally
networked, or domain controlled, or a
mixture of all three operating
environments.
14. The highest level of classification
of defense articles, components, and
services included in this potential sale
is SECRET.
15. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the hardware and software elements, the
information could be used to develop
countermeasures or equivalent systems
which might reduce system
effectiveness or be used in the

development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
16. A determination has been made
that the Government of Indonesia 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.
17. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal have been
authorized for release and export to
Indonesia.
