An escape system provides additional protection to the pilot. The OMS provides a mission planning, mission briefing, and a maintenance, intelligence, and tactical debriefing platform for the F–35. 2. The AIM–120C–8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) is a supersonic, airlaunched, aerial intercept guided missile featuring digital technology and micro-miniature, solid-state electronics. AMRAAM capabilities include lookdown/shoot-down, multiple launches against multiple targets, resistance to electronic countermeasures, and interception of high- and low-flying and maneuvering targets. This potential sale will include Captive Air Training Missiles (CATM) as well as AMRAAM guidance sections, propulsion sections, control sections, telemetry systems, and warhead spares. 3. The GBU–53/B Small Diameter Bomb—Increment II (SDB–II) StormBreaker All-Up-Round (AUR) is a 250-lb class precision-guided, semiautonomous, conventional air-toground munition used to defeat moving targets from standoff range and capable of operating in adverse weather. The SDB–II has deployable wings and fins and uses Global Positioning System/ Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS) guidance, network-enabled datalink (Link-16 and UHF), and a multi-mode seeker (millimeter wave radar, imaging infrared, semi-active laser) to autonomously search, acquire, track, and defeat a variety of moving or stationary targets, at standoff range or close in, in a variety of attack modes. The SDB–II employs a multi-effects warhead (blast, fragmentation, and shaped-charge) for maximum lethality against armored and soft targets. The SDB–II weapon system consists of the tactical AUR weapon, a 4-place common carriage system, and mission planning system munitions application program (MAP). This potential sale includes SDB–II Guided Test Vehicles (GTV) and Captive Carry Reliability Trainers (CCRT). 4. Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) consist of a bomb body paired with a warhead-specific tail kit containing an Inertial Navigation System (INS)/Global Positioning System (GPS) guidance capability that converts unguided free-fall bombs into accurate, adverse weather ‘‘smart’’ munitions. The JDAM weapon can be delivered from modest standoff ranges at high or low altitudes against a variety of land and surface targets during the day or night. The JDAM can receive target VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:48 Oct 17, 2024 Jkt 265001 coordinates via preplanned mission data from the delivery aircraft, by onboard aircraft sensors (e.g., FLIR, radar, etc.) during captive carry, or from a thirdparty source via manual or automated aircrew cockpit entry. This potential sale will include either of the following variants as well as JDAM trainer tail kits. a. The GBU–31v1 is a 2,000-lb JDAM, consisting of a KMU–556 tail kit and BLU–117 or Mk-84 bomb body. b. The GBU–31v3 is a 2,000-lb JDAM, consisting of a KMU–557 tail kit and BLU–109 bomb body. 5. The AIM–9X Block II and Block II+ Tactical Sidewinder Missiles represent a substantial increase in missile acquisition and kinematics performance over the AIM–9M and replaces the AIM–9X Block I Missile configuration. The missiles include a high offboresight seeker, enhanced countermeasure rejection capability, a low drag and high angle of attack airframe, and the ability to integrate with a helmet mounted cueing system. The software algorithms are the most sensitive portion of the AIM–9X missile. The software continues to be modified via a System Improvement Program (SIP) to improve countercountermeasure capabilities. This potential sale will include AIM–9X CATMs, multipurpose/dummy training missiles, guidance and control section spares, containers, and DSU–41B Active Optical Target Detectors (AOTD). 6. The FMU–139 Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF) is a multi-delay, multi-arm, and proximity sensor compatible with general purpose blast, frag, and hardened-target penetrator weapons. The JPF settings are cockpit selectable in flight when used with numerous precision-guided weapons. 7. 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. 8. The ALE–70 is a radio frequency countermeasure (RFCM) transmitter dispenser system designed to fit into the F–35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft. The ALE–70 consists of the reel and launcher assembly, tow line, T–1687 countermeasure transmitter, and electronic and mechanical subassemblies, along with canisters and explosive cartridges that deploy decoys to provide self-protection against radar guided missiles for aircraft. 9. The Common Munitions Built-InTest (BIT)/Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE) is supporting equipment used to interface with weapon systems to PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 initiate and report BIT results and both upload and download flight software. CMBRE supports multiple munitions platforms with a range of applications that perform preflight checks, conduct periodic maintenance checks, declassify munitions memory, and load Operational Flight Program (OFP) data, munitions mission planning data, and Global Positioning System (GPS) cryptographic keys. 10. The Electronic Warfare Reprogramming Lab is used by U.S. Government engineers in the reprogramming and creation of shareable Mission Data Files for foreign F–35 customers. 11. The highest level of classification of defense articles, components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET. 12. 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. 13. A determination has been made that the Czech Republic 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. 14. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal have been authorized for release and export to the Government of the Czech Republic.
