POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Australia—LAIRCM Line Replaceable
Units (LRUs)
The Government of Australia has
requested the possible sale of AN/AAQ
24(V)N Large Aircraft Infrared
Countermeasures (LAIRCM) component
systems required to support an ongoing
upgrade of its large Air Mobility
Platforms, which include C–17As, KC–
30As, and C–130Js. As such, the
Government of Australia has requested
to buy twenty-seven (27) AN/AAQ
24(V)N Large Aircraft Infrared
Countermeasures (LAIRCM) System
Processor Replacements (LSPR) (27
installed, 0 spares); and thirty (30)
Guardian Laser Turret Assemblies
(GLTA) (30 installed, 0 spares). Also
included are LAIRCM Control Indicator
Unit Replacements (CIURs); Advanced
Threat Missile Warning Sensors
(ATWs); Smart Card Assemblies (SCAs);
High Capacity Cards/User Data Memory
Cards (HCCs/UDMs) (installed and
spares); Simple Key Loaders; initial
spares, consumables, and repair/return
support; support and test equipment;
integration and test support; personnel
training, publications and technical
documentation; U.S. Government and
contractor engineering, technical and
logistics support services; and other
related elements of logistical and
program support. The estimated total
value is $122 million.
This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy and national security
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
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 will improve
Australia’s capability to meet current
and future threats by providing modern
protection for large air mobility
platforms. These countermeasures are
crucial to defeating modern threats.
Australia will have no difficulty
absorbing these articles into its armed
forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be
Northrup Grumman Corporation,
Rolling Meadows, IL; and The Boeing
Company, Long Beach, CA, and San
Antonio, TX. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require the assignment of 0.5 FullTime Equivalent (FTE) additional U.S.
Government representatives and 0.5
FTE U.S. contractor representatives to
support Australia from the U.S. for a
duration of five (5) years to support
program management and engineering
activities necessary to field and sustain
LAIRCM on multiple Royal Australian
Air Force platforms.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of
Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the
Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The AN/AAQ–24(V)N LAIRCM
system is a self-contained, directedenergy countermeasures system
designed to protect aircraft from
infrared-guided surface-to-air missiles.
The LAIRCM system features digital
technology micro-miniature 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
the Guardian Laser Transmitter
Assembly (GLTA), LAIRCM System
Processor Replacement (LSPR), multiple
Advanced Threat Missile Warning
Sensors (ATW), the Control Interface

Sfmt 4703
Unit Replacement (CIUR), and the
Classified Memory Card User Data
Module. The AN/PYQ–10 Simple Key
Loader is also a necessary device.
2. The Guardian Laser Transmitter
Assembly (GLTA) is a laser transmitter
pointer/tracker subsystem designed to
track the inbound threat missile and
point the laser jam source at the
missile’s seeker. The GLTA
automatically deploys the
countermeasure.
3. The LAIRCM System Processor
Replacement (LSPR) analyzes the data
from each Missile Warning Sensor and
automatically deploys the appropriate
countermeasure via the GLTA. The
LSPR contains Built-in-Test (BIT)
circuitry.
4. The AN/PYQ–10 Simple Key
Loader is a portable, hand-held device
used for securely receiving, storing, and
transferring data between compatible
cryptographic and communications
equipment.
5. The Advanced Threat Missile
Warning Sensors (ATW) detect and
declare threat missiles. The sensors are
mounted on the aircraft exterior to
provide omni-directional protection.
The sensors detect the rocket plume of
missiles and send appropriate data
signals to the LSPR for processing.
6. The Control Interface Unit
Replacement (CIUR) displays the
incoming threat for the pilot to take
appropriate action. The CIUR also
provides operator interface to program
the LAIRCM system to initiate built-intest (BIT), to display system status, and
to provide the crew with bearing to
threat missile launch.
7. The Classified Memory Card User
Data Module contains the laser jam
codes. The Classified Memory Card User
Data Module is loaded into the LSPR
prior to flight; when not in use, the
Classified Memory Card User Data
Module is removed from the LSPR and
put in secure storage.
8. The highest level of classification of
defense articles, components, and
services included in this potential sale
is SECRET.
9. 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.
10. A determination has been made
that Australia 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
