is support equipment; spare and repair
parts; publications and technical
documentation; transportation; U.S.
Government and contractor engineering,
technical and logistical support
services; and other related elements of
logistical and program support. The
total estimated cost is $31.2 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 by ensuring
its aviation forces’ interoperability with
United States and other allied forces as
well as its ability to contribute to
missions of mutual interest. By
deploying the Advanced Precision Kill
Weapon System, the United Kingdom
would contribute to global readiness
and enhance the capability for U.S.
forces operating globally alongside
them. 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.
The principal contractors will be BAE
Systems, Nashua, New Hampshire.
There are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require multiple trips by
approximately five (5) U.S. Government
representatives and the assignment of
approximately five (5) contractor
representatives to the United Kingdom
on an intermittent basis for a period of
approximately five (5) years to support
delivery and integration of items and to
provide supply support management,
inventory control, and equipment
familiarization.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The Advanced Precision Kill
Weapon System-II (APKWS-II) is a
design conversion of an unguided Hydra
2.75-inch rocket with a laser guidance
kit to give it precision-kill capability. As
a low cost weapon, it is intended as an
inexpensive means to destroy targets
while limiting collateral damage in

close combat. The APKWS consists of
an APKWS-II Guidance Section (GS)
developed by BAE systems, legacy 2.75inch MK66 Mod 4 rocket motor, and a
legacy Mk151 and Mk435/436 warhead/
fuze. These guided rockets are steered to
the target by following reflected laser
beam energy directed onto the target
either by the launching aircraft, a
second aircraft, or ground-based troops
operating a laser designator. The
APKWS is a tactical rocket system that
can be launched from several platforms,
including rotary wing, fixed wing, and
ground-based vehicles, offering multimission, multi-target capability, and
precision-strike lethality.
2. The highest level of classification of
defense articles, components, and
services included in this potential sale
is SECRET.
3. 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.
4. 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 sale is necessary in furtherance of
the U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives outlined in the
Policy Justification.
5. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal have been
authorized for release and export to the
Government of the United Kingdom.
