(viii) Date Report Delivered to 

Congress: 24 February 2012 

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Kuwait—AIM–9X–2 SIDEWINDER 

Missiles 

The Government of Kuwait has 

requested a possible sale of 80 AIM–9X– 

2 SIDEWINDER Block II All-Up-Round 

Missiles, 26 CATM–9X–2 Captive Air 

Training Missiles, 2 CATM–9X–2 Block 

II Missile Guidance Units, 8 AIM–9X–2 

Block II Tactical Guidance Units, 2 

Dummy Air Training Missiles, 

containers, missile support and test 

equipment, provisioning, spare and 

repair parts, personnel training and 

training equipment, publications and 

technical data, U.S. Government and 

contractor technical assistance and 

other related logistics support. The 

estimated cost is $105 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the security of a friendly 

country that has been, and continues to 

be, an important force for political 

stability and economic progress in the 

Middle East. 

The Kuwait Air Force is modernizing 

its fighter aircraft to better support its 

own air defense needs. The proposed 

sale of AIM–9X–2 missiles will enhance 

Kuwait’s interoperability with the U.S. 

and among other Central Command 

nations, making it a more valuable 

partner in an increasingly important 

area of the world. 

The proposed sale of this weapon 

system will not alter the basic military 

balance in the region. 

The prime contractor will be 

Raytheon Missile Systems Company in 

Tucson, Arizona. There are no known 

offset agreements in connection with 

this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require travel of U.S. Government 

or contractor representatives to Kuwait 

on a temporary basis for program 

technical support and management 

oversight. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 11–53 

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 AIM–9X–2 SIDEWINDER 

Block II Missile represents a substantial 

increase in missile acquisition and 

kinematics performance over the AIM– 

9M and replaces the AIM–9X–1 Block I 

missile configuration. The missile 

includes a high off bore-sight seeker, 

enhanced countermeasure rejection 

capability, low drag/high angle of attack 

airframe and the ability to integrate the 

Helmet Mounted Cueing System. The 

software algorithms are the most 

sensitive portion of the AIM–9X–2 

missile. The software continues to be 

modified via a pre-planned product 

improvement (P3I) program in order to 

improve its counter-countermeasures 

capabilities. No software source code or 

algorithms will be released. 

2. The AIM–9X–2 will result in the 

transfer of sensitive technology and 

information. The equipment, hardware, 

and documentation are classified 

Confidential. The software and 

operational performance are classified 

Secret. The seeker/guidance control 

section and the target detector are 

Confidential and contain sensitive stateof-the-art technology. Manuals and 

technical documentation that are 

necessary or support operational use 

and organizational management are 

classified up to Secret. Performance and 

operating logic of the countercountermeasures circuits are classified 

Secret. The hardware, software, and 

data identified are classified to protect 

vulnerabilities, design and performance 

parameters and similar critical 

information. 

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.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Notice of Availability for Exclusive, 

Non-Exclusive, or Partially-Exclusive 

Licensing of an Invention Concerning 

a Radiation Detector System for 

Locating and Identifying Special 

Nuclear Material in Moving Vehicles 

AGENCY: Defense Threat Reduction 

Agency, Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Announcement is made of the 

availability for licensing of the 

invention set forth in ‘‘Radiation 

Detector System for Locating and 

Identifying Special Nuclear Material in 

Moving Vehicles,’’ U.S. Patent 

8,110,807, issued February 7, 2012. This 

invention is owned by the U.S. 

Government and is available for 

licensing in the U.S. in accordance with 

35 U.S.C. 207 to achieve expeditious 

commercialization of the results of 

federally-funded research and 

development. 

ADDRESSES: Director, Defense Threat 

Reduction Agency, Attn: General 

Counsel, 8725 John J. Kingman Road, 

Mail Stop 6201, Fort Belvoir VA 22060– 

6201. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Licensing or patent issues, Ellen Klann, 

Patent Counsel, Office of General 

Counsel, Defense Threat Reduction 

Agency, telephone: (703) 767–4561, fax: 

(703) 767–4550. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

invention uses a series of combined 

passive neutron and gamma ray sensors 

and sensor aggregators, systematically 

placed along a path of commercial 

traffic, for example an airport runway, 

combined with a pulsed source of 

monoenergetic gamma rays and low 

energy neutrons. The pulsed source 

produces a short interrogation pulse of 

monoenergetic gamma rays and low 

energy neutrons. These gamma rays 

induce a fission reaction in any fissile 

material in their path, such as in a 

moving vehicle, creating gamma rays 

and neutrons. The passive sensors 

located in the path of the moving 

vehicle detect the resultant gamma and 

neutron products of the reaction.
