(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The AN/ALR–56M is a computer
controlled radar warning receiver
(RWR). It monitors the environment in
an effort to detect radar signals. Upon
detection and identification of a valid
radar signal, emitter identification is
conveyed to the AN/ALE–47
countermeasures dispenser system. The
ALR–56M has thirteen line replaceable
units (LRUs): four I/J band DF receivers,
an Analysis Processor, a Superhet
Controller, a Superhet Receiver, a C/D
band Receiver/Power supply, four I/J
band antennas, and one C/D band
antenna.
2. The AN/ALE–47 Counter-Measures
Dispensing System (CMDS) is an
integrated, threat-adaptive, softwareprogrammable dispensing system
capable of dispending chaff, flares, and
active radio frequency expendables. The
system is internally mounted and may
be operated as a stand-alone system or
may be integrated with other on-board
electronic warfare and avionics systems.
The AN/ALE–47 uses data received over
the aircraft interfaces to assess the threat
situation and to determine a response.
3. The highest level of classification of
information included in this potential
sale is SECRET.
4. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
