POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Egypt—Sniper Advanced Targeting 

Pods (ATPs) 

The Government of Egypt has 

requested to buy twenty (20) AN/AAQ33 Sniper ATPs. Also included are 

pylons; shipping containers; spare and 

repair/return parts; ground handling 

equipment; publications and technical 

documentation; software and software 

support; personnel training; U.S. 

Government and contractor engineering, 

technical, and logistical support 

services; and other related elements of 

program and logistical support. The 

estimated total program cost is $65.6 

million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by helping to improve 

the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally 

country that continues to be an 

important strategic partner in the 

Middle East. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Egypt’s capability and effectiveness to 

meet current and future threats by 

providing additional precision targeting 

capability to conduct border security 

and counterterrorism operations. The 

added precision strike capability will 

better enable Egypt to conduct 

operations while minimizing collateral 

damage. Egypt will have no difficultly 

absorbing the additional 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 contractor will be 

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company 

in Fort Worth, TX. There are no known 

offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Egypt. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 20–65 

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-33 SNIPER Pod is a 

multi-sensor, electro-optical targeting 

pod incorporating infrared, low-light 

television camera, laser range finder/ 

target designator, and laser spot tracker. 

It is used to provide navigation and 

targeting for military aircraft in adverse 

weather and using precision-guided 

weapons such as laser-guided bombs. It 

also provides positive target 

identification, autonomous tracking, 

coordinate generation, and precise 

weapons guidance from extended 

standoff ranges. It offers much greater 

target resolution and imagery accuracy 

than previous systems. 

2. The highest level of classification of 

information 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 Government of Egypt 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 Egypt.
