SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with Section 1505 of Public
Law 117–263 (Dec. 23, 2022; 136 Stat.
2395), the Secretary shall require
proposals be submitted by institutions
designed as a National Center of
Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity
(NCAE–C).
The NCAE–C program is managed by
the National Cryptologic School at the
National Security Agency. U.S.
Government partners include the
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. Such designation was
created to manage a collaborative
cybersecurity educational program with
community colleges, colleges, and
universities that: (1) establishes
standards for cybersecurity curriculum
and academic excellence; (2) includes
competency development among
students and faculty; (3) values
community outreach and leadership in
professional development; (4) integrates
cybersecurity practice within the
institution across academic disciplines;
and (5) actively engages in solutions to
challenges facing cybersecurity
education.
There are three types of designations:
The Cyber Defense (CAE–CD)
Designation is awarded to regionally
accredited academic institutions
offering cybersecurity degrees and/or
certificates at the associates, bachelors,
and masters and doctoral levels.
The Cyber Research (CAE–R)
designation is awarded to DoD schools,
doctoral degree-producing military
institutions, or regionally accredited,
degree granting four-year institutions
rated by the Carnegie Foundation Basic
Classification system as either a
Doctoral University—Highest Research
Activity (R1), Doctoral University—
Higher Research Activity (R2), or
Doctoral University—Moderate
Research Activity (R3).
The Cyber Operations (CAE–CO)
program is a deeply technical, interdisciplinary, higher education program
firmly grounded in the computer
science, computer engineering, and/or
electrical engineering disciplines, with
extensive opportunities for hands-on
applications via labs and exercises.

POLICY JUSTIFICATION
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
United Kingdom—Javelin Missiles
The Government of the United
Kingdom has requested to buy up to six
hundred (600) Javelin FGM–148F
missiles (includes twelve (12) fly-to-buy
missiles). Also included is U.S.
Government technical assistance and
other related elements of logistics and
program support. The total estimated
cost is $125.13 million.
This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy goals and national
security objectives of the United States
by improving the security of a NATO
Ally that is a force for political stability
and economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve the
United Kingdom’s capability to meet
current and future threats. The United
Kingdom will use the enhanced
capability to build its long-term defense
capacity to meet its national defense
requirements. The United Kingdom will
have no difficulty absorbing this
equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.

will not require the assignment of U.S.
Government or contractor
representatives to the United Kingdom.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 23–17
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 Javelin Weapon System is a
medium-range, man portable, shoulderlaunched, fire and forget, anti-tank
system for infantry, scouts, and combat
engineers. It may also be mounted on a
variety of platforms including vehicles,
aircraft and watercraft. The system
weighs 49.5 pounds and has a
maximum range in excess of 2,500
meters. They system is highly lethal
against tanks and other systems with
conventional and reactive armors. The
system possesses a secondary capability
against bunkers.
2. Javelin’s key technical feature is the
use of fire-and-forget technology which
allows the gunner to fire and
immediately relocate or take cover.
Additional special features are the top
attack and/or direct fire modes, an
advanced tandem warhead and imaging
infrared seeker, target lock-on before
launch, and soft launch from enclosures
or covered fighting positions. The
Javelin missile also has a minimum
smoke motor thus decreasing its
detection on the battlefield.
3. The Javelin Weapon System is
comprised of two major tactical
components, which are a reusable Light
Weight Command Launch Unit
(LWCLU) and a round contained in a
disposable launch tube assembly. The
LWCLU has been identified as Major
Defense Equipment (MDE). The LWCLU
incorporates an integrated day-night
sight that provides a target engagement
capability in adverse weather and
countermeasure environments. The
LWCLU may also be used in a standalone mode for battlefield surveillance
and target detection. The LWCLU’s
thermal sight is a 3rd generation
Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensor.
To facilitate initial loading and
subsequent updating of software, all onboard missile software is uploaded via
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the LWCLU after mating and prior to
launch.
4. The missile is autonomously
guided to the target using an imaging
infrared seeker and adaptive correlation
tracking algorithms. This allows the
gunner to take cover or reload and
engage another target after firing a
missile. The missile has an advanced
tandem warhead and can be used in
either the top attack or direct fire modes
(for target undercover). An onboard
flight computer guides the missile to the
selected target.
5. The highest level of classification of
defense articles, components, and
services included in this potential sale
is SECRET.
6. If a technologically advanced
adversary obtains knowledge of the
specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures or
equivalent systems that might reduce
weapon system effectiveness or be used
in the development of a system with
similar or advanced capabilities.
7. A determination has been made
that the United Kingdom can provide
substantially the same degree of
protection for the sensitive technology
being released as the U.S. Government.
This proposed sale is necessary to
further the U.S. foreign policy and
national security objectives outlined in
the Policy Justification.
8. All defense articles and services
listed on this transmittal are authorized
for release and export to the
Government of the United Kingdom.
