four (4) Multifunction Displays (MFD),
which provides aircraft system, flight,
mission, and communication

Inertial Navigation System (EGI)
provides GPS and INS capabilities to the
aircraft. The EGI will include Selective
Availability Anti-Spoofing Module
(SAASM) security modules to be used
for secure GPS PPS, if required.
The AN/APX–117, Identification
Friend or Foe (IFF) Transponder, is a
space diversity transponder and is
installed on various military platforms.
When installed in conjunction with
platform antennas and the Remote
Control Unit (or other appropriate
control unit), the transponder provides
identification, altitude and surveillance
reporting in response to interrogations
from airborne, ground-based and/or
surface interrogators.
The AN/ARC–201E (or designated
equivalent), Single Channel Ground to
Air Radio System (SINCGARS), is a
tactical airborne radio subsystem that
provides secure, anti-jam voice and data
communication and data
communication with ground units. The
system uses 25 kHz channels in the very
high frequency (VHF) FM band, from
30.000 to 87.975 megahertz (MHz). The
ARC–201E/RT–1478E is the
commercial, exportable version of the
ARC–201D/RT–1478D radio system that
does not include Military/NSA
COMSEC capabilities. The system and
Data Rate Adapter (DRA) combines
three Line Replaceable Units into one
and reduces overall weight of the
aircraft.
The MXF–4027 (or designated
equivalent) is the commercial,
exportable version of the ARC–231/RT–
1808A radio system. This is a softwaredefinable radio for military aircraft that

to 512 MHz frequency range. It covers
both line-of-sight Ultra High Frequency
(UHF) and Very High Frequency (VHF)
bands with SATCOM capabilities,
including Integrated Waveform (IW).
The MXF–4027 radio also includes
embedded frequency agile modes,
Demand Assigned Multiple Access
(DAMA), Integrated Waveform (IW),
operator selectable Air Traffic Control
(ATC) channel spacing of 5, 8.33, 12.5,

This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States by
helping to improve the security of a
NATO ally, which is an important
partner for political stability and
economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve
Greece’s capability to meet current and
future threats by providing agile
logistics support to active Foreign
Military Sales support cases, including
Greece’s defensive and transport aerial
fleets, as well as other support
equipment of U.S. origin that are
currently in use with the Hellenic Air
Force and which can be supported by
the CLSSA program. The ability to place
blanket order requisitions will increase
its interoperability with NATO forces
and enhance its ability to provide for
the security of its borders. Greece has
demonstrated a continued commitment
to modernizing its military and will
have no difficulty absorbing this
equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of these services
will not alter the basic military balance
in the region.
There are no principal contractors for
this proposed sale. There are no known
offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will not require the assignment of any
additional U.S. Government or
contractor representatives outside the
United States.
