Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 23, 2020 / Notices 83917 

automatically counter infrared (IR) and 

radio frequency (RF) threats. 

f. The Command, Control, 

Communications, Computers and 

Intelligence/Communications, 

Navigation, and Identification (C4I/CNI) 

system provides the pilot with 

unmatched connectivity to flight 

members, coalition forces, and the 

battlefield. It is an integrated subsystem 

designed to provide a broad spectrum of 

secure, anti-jam voice and data 

communications, precision radio 

navigation and landing capability, selfidentification, beyond visual range 

target identification, and connectivity to 

off-board sources of information. It also 

includes an inertial navigation and 

global positioning system (GPS) for 

precise location information. The 

functionality is tightly integrated within 

the mission system to enhance 

efficiency. 

g. The aircraft C4I/CNI system 

includes two data links, the MultiFunction Advanced Data Link (MADL) 

and Link 16. The MADL is designed 

specifically for the F-35 and allows for 

stealthy communications between F35s. Link 16 data link equipment allows 

the F-35 to communicate with legacy 

aircraft using widely-distributed J-series 

message protocols. 

h. The F-35 Autonomic Logistics 

Global Sustainment (ALGS) provides a 

fully integrated logistics management 

solution. ALGS integrates a number of 

functional areas, including supply chain 

management, repair, support 

equipment, engine support, and 

training. The ALGS infrastructure 

employs a state-of-the-art information 

system that provides real-time, decisionworthy information for sustainment 

decisions by flight line personnel. 

Prognostic health monitoring 

technology is integrated with the air 

system and is crucial to predictive 

maintenance of vital components. 

i. The F-35 Operational Data 

Integrated Network (ODIN) provides an 

intelligent information infrastructure 

that binds all the key concepts of ALGS 

into an effective support system. ODIN 

establishes the appropriate interfaces 

among the F-35 Air Vehicle, the 

warfighter, the training system, 

government information technology (IT) 

systems, and supporting commercial 

enterprise systems. Additionally, ODIN 

provides a comprehensive tool for data 

collection and analysis, decision 

support and action tracking. 

j. The F-35 Training System includes 

several training devices to provide 

integrated training for pilots and 

maintainers. The pilot training devices 

include a Full Mission Simulator (FMS) 

and Mission Rehearsal Trainer (MRT). 

The maintainer training devices include 

an Aircraft Systems Maintenance 

Trainer (ASMT), Ejection System 

Maintenance Trainer (ESMT), Outer 

Mold Line (OML) Lab, Flexible Linear 

Shaped Charge (FLSC) Trainer, F135 

Engine Module Trainer, Weapons 

Loading Trainer (WLT), and other 

training devices. The F-35 Training 

System can be integrated, where both 

pilots and maintainers learn in the same 

Integrated Training Center (ITC). 

k. Other subsystems, features, and 

capabilities include the F-35’s low 

observable air frame, Integrated Core 

Processor (ICP) Central Computer, 

Helmet Mounted Display System 

(HMDS), Pilot Life Support System 

(PLSS), Mission Planning System 

Environment (MPSE), and publications/ 

maintenance manuals. The HMDS 

provides a fully sunlight readable, biocular display presentation of aircraft 

information projected onto the pilot’s 

helmet visor. The use of a night vision 

camera integrated into the helmet 

eliminates the need for separate Night 

Vision Goggles. The PLSS provides a 

measure of Pilot Chemical, Biological, 

and Radiological Protection through use 

of an OnBoard Oxygen Generating 

System (OBOGS) and an escape system 

that provides additional protection to 

the pilot. OBOGS takes the Power and 

Thermal Management System (PTMS) 

air and enriches it by removing gases 

(mainly nitrogen) by adsorption, thereby 

increasing the concentration of oxygen 

in the product gas and supplying 

breathable air to the pilot. The MPSE 

provides a mission planning, mission 

briefing, and a maintenance/ 

intelligence/tactical debriefing platform 

for the F-35. 

2. The Reprogramming Center is 

located in the United States and 

provides F-35 customers a means to 

update F-35 electronic warfare 

databases. 

3. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

4. 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. 

5. A determination has been made 

that the United Arab Emirates 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. 

6. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal are authorized 

for release and export to the 

Government of the United Arab 

Emirates.
