This transmittal reports the addition
of fifty-seven (57) Sniper Advanced
Targeting Pods (ATPs) (AN/AAQ–33)
(MDE). The following non-MDE items
will also be included: Infrared Search
and Track (IRST) pods (IRST
International); IRST and Sniper ATP
shipping containers; pylons; spare parts;
repair and return; publications and
technical documentation; software
support; integration and test support;
U.S. Government and Contractor
engineering, technical and logistics
support; and additional familiarization
training. Additionally, this transmittal
amends the original CN’s reference to a
specific electronic warfare system, to a
successfully engineered and tested
future Electronic Warfare (EW) Suite,
integrated on the F–16V Block 70
aircraft. The total cost of the new MDE
articles is $154.33 million, and the total
cost of the new non-MDE articles is
$307.52 million. The total notified cost
of MDE will not increase, and the total
notified case value will remain $8.0
billion.
(iv) Significance: This notification is
being provided as the additional MDE
items were not enumerated in the
original notification. Their inclusion
represents an increase in capability over
what was previously notified. As the
recipient continues with its plans to
develop its F–16 fleet, it has requested
integration of IRST and Sniper
capabilities. The proposed articles and
services increases the recipient’s
capability to participate in Indo-Pacific
region security operations and improves
the recipient’s credible defense
capability.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale is
consistent with U.S. law and policy as
expressed in Public Law 96–8. This
proposed sale serves U.S. national,
economic, and security interests by
supporting the recipient’s continuing
efforts to modernize its armed forces
and to maintain a credible defensive
capability. The proposed sale will help
improve the security of the recipient
and assist in maintaining political
stability, military balance, economic
and progress in the region.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The
Sniper ATP is an electro-optical
targeting system housed in a single,
PO 00000
Frm 00061

lightweight pod. It is the most widely
fielded combat-tested targeting pod
system employed today and handles the
most challenging precision targeting and
intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance air-to-air and air-toground missions in the land, sea, and air
domains.
The IRST is a type of sensor that can
detect and track threats that have
infrared signatures, at long ranges. It can
act without emitting any radiation of its
own and enables aircrews to detect
adversaries, before those adversaries see
or sense them.
The highest level of classification of
information included in this potential
sale is SECRET.

set provides pertinent platform
information in response to an IFF
interrogator. The digital transponder
provides cooperative Mark XII IFF
capability using full diversity selection,
as well as Mode Select (Mode S)
capability. In addition, transponder
operation provides interface capability
with the aircraft’s Traffic Collision and
Avoidance System (TCAS). The
transponder receives pulsed radio
frequency interrogation signals in any of
six modes (1, 2, 3/A, S, and 5), decodes
the signals, and transmits a pulsecoded
reply. The Mark XII IFF operation
includes Selective Identification Feature
(SIF) Modes 1, 2, 3/A and C, as well as

foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States. Australia
is one of our most important allies in
the Western Pacific. The strategic
location of this political and economic
power contributes significantly to
ensuring peace and economic stability
in the region. It is vital to the U.S.
national interest to assist our ally in
developing and maintaining a strong
and ready self-defense capability.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will improve Australia’s
capability to meet current and future
threats, increase operational
capabilities, strengthen its homeland
defense and promote military
cooperation.
The proposed sale of this equipment

3. The AN/ARC–231 Ultra High
Frequency (UHF) radio is a software
defined radio for military aircraft that
provides two-way multi-mode voice and
data communications. It provides joint
service standard line of sight (LOS),
HAVE QUICK, SATURN, and
SINCGARS electronic counter-counter
measures (ECCM), along with integrated
waveform satellite communications
(SATCOM).
4. The Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) unit
CN–1689–(H–764GU) contains sensitive
GPS technology. The EGI+429 and the
obsolescence-fix version, the
EAGLE+429 EGI, are self-contained, allattitude navigation system providing
outputs of linear and angular
acceleration, linear and angular
velocity, position, attitude (roll, pitch),
platform azimuth, magnetic and true
heading, altitude, body angular rates,
time tags, and Universal Time
Coordinated (UTC) synchronized time.
The EGI+429 and EAGLE+429 EGI
accepts Radio Frequency (RF) Global
Positioning System (GPS) satellite
transmissions, and provides these
signals as inputs to the Embedded GPS
Receiver (EGR). The EGR tracks up to
twelve space vehicles (SV) signals
simultaneously. The EGR supports the
GPS and blended GPS/INS navigation
solutions.
5. The AN/ARN–149, Automatic
Direction Finder (ADF) Receiver, is a
low frequency radio that provides
automatic compass bearing on any radio
signal within the frequency range of 100
to 2199.5 kHz as well as navigation
where a commercial AM broadcast
signal is the only available navigation
aid.
6. The AN/ARN–153, Tactical
Airborne Navigation (TACAN) System,
is a full featured navigational system
that supports four modes of operation:
receive mode; transmit receive mode;
air-to-air receive mode; and air-to-air
transmit-receive mode. The TACAN
provides a minimum 500-watt transmit
capability with selecting range ratios of
30:1 or 4:1 which is accomplished
through the automatic gain control
(AGC) enable/disable switch, the 1553
bus, or the RNAV (ARINC) input bus.
7. The AN/ARN–147 Very High
Frequency (VHF) Omni Ranging/
Instrument Landing System receives
input from ground navigation beacons
and aids in aircraft navigation.

measures for defeat. The CMWS consists
of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU),
Electro-Optic Missile Sensors (EOMSs),
and Sequencer and Improved
Countermeasures Dispenser (ICMD).
9. The AN/APR–39 Radar Warning
Receiver Signal Detecting Set is a
system that provides warning of a radar
directed air defense threat and allows
appropriate countermeasures. Included
1553 databus compatible configuration.
10. The highest level of classification
of defense articles, components, and
services included in this potential sale
is 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.
