Oman—AIM–9X Block II SIDEWINDER All-Up-Round Missiles

The Government of Oman has requested a possible sale of 55 AIM–9X Block II SIDEWINDER All-Up-Round Missiles, 36 AIM–9X Block II SIDEWINDER Captive Air Training Missiles, 6 AIM–9X Block II Tactical Guidance Units, 4 AIM–9X Block II Captive Air Training Missile Guidance Units, 1 Dummy Air Training Missile, containers, weapon support equipment, spare and repair parts, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor technical support services, and other related elements of logistics support. The estimated cost is $86 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 which has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.

The Government of Oman is modernizing its F–16 fighter aircraft fleet to better support its own air defense needs. The proposed sale of AIM–9X Block II missiles will provide a significant increase in Oman’s defensive capability while enhancing interoperability with the U.S. and other allies. Oman will have no difficulty absorbing this additional capability into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this weapon system and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The prime contractors will be Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona. There are no offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will require multiple trips to Oman involving U.S. Government or contractor representatives on a temporary basis for program and technical support, and management oversight. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

Transmittal No. 12–19 Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, as amended

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 (P 3I)program in order to improve its countercounter measures capabilities. No software source code or algorithms will be released. The missile is classified as Confidential.

2. The possible sale of the AIM–9X– 2 missile will result in the transfer of sensitive technology and information, as well as classified and unclassified defense equipment and technology and information, as well as classified and unclassified defense equipment and technical data. The equipment/ hardware and documentation are classified Confidential; software and operational/performance are classified Secret with training and maintenance being Unclassified. The external view of the AIM–9X–2 missile is Unclassified and not sensitive. The seeker/guidance control section and the target detector are Confidential and contain sensitive state-of-the-art technology. Specifically, the infrared seeker sensitivity is a significant improvement over the previous AIM–9 variants. Manuals and technical documents for the AIM–9X–2 missile that are necessary or support operational use and organizational maintenance have portions classified up to Secret. Performance and operating logic of the counter-counter measures circuits are 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 which might reduce weapons systems effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or advanced capabilities.

**Notice of Intent To Obtain Information Regarding Organizations Who Are**  **Assisting African Governments To Increase Healthcare Institution**  **Capacity To Maintain Complex Medical Equipment** 

**AGENCY :**  United States Africa Command, DoD.

**ACTION :**  Notice of intent to obtain information regarding organizations active in this area, for the purpose of information sharing. **SUMMARY :**  This notice announces that the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) is seeking information about organizations, both public or private, which are currently helping African government hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and other African governmental health institutions put in place trained and certified biomedical technicians, sustainable maintenance and supply capabilities, and/or standards and training for the maintenance and use of complex medical equipment. The organizations sought are of two types: (1) Organizations which are sustainably involved in enhancing the long term ability of African government health institutions to maintain complex medical equipment or (2) African government health institutions with the ability to substantiate their capability to maintain complex medical equipment. This information is being solicited to inform AFRICOM of potential capacity to improve the impact of AFRICOM’s Excess Property Program. Information provided to AFRICOM is not for the purposes of obtaining a contract, nor would the information provided guarantee an excess property donation to any African country.

**DATES :**  Submission of information is continuous on or before September 30,
2012.

**ADDRESSES :**  Entities wishing to inform AFRICOM of their work in Africa and their interest in sharing information may write or email Rebecca Balogh at Rebecca.balogh@usafricom.mil or call +49 711 729 4439 or Ms. Rebecca Balogh, Senior Lead, Public Private Partnerships, Plieninger Strasse 289, Stuttgart Moehringen, 70567. Additional instructions will be provided after
contact.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  AFRICOM J9—Outreach Directorate,
+49 711 729 4439 or at Rebecca.balogh@usafricom.mil

. Alternative contact: Richard Parker, +49 711 729 2000 or Richard Parker at richard.parker@usafricom.mil.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  There are no fees involved and no funding will be provided. Organizations sought are both public and private and are sustainably involved in enhancing the long term ability of African government institutions to maintain complex medical equipment or will be the African government institutions themselves with the ability to prove their capability to maintain complex medical equipment. AFRICOM, through U.S. Embassies’ Offices of Security Cooperation and in coordination with their respective Embassy Country Team in Africa, will begin to entertain requests for excess complex medical equipment from African Government health facilities provided they submit an acceptable sustainability plan for such requested equipment and meet all other traditional requirements of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s (DSCA) Overseas Humanitarian Disaster Assistance and Civic Aid (OHDACA) program. This new policy of proactively seeking organizations who are involved in similar efforts is called the Next Level Up.

Information partnerships do not necessarily lead to fulfillment of requests of excess complex medical equipment and only African governmental health institutions such as hospitals, clinics, and laboratories may request potential donations of excess complex medical equipment through their local U.S. Embassy. In addition, not all U.S. Embassies in Africa entertain requests for excess property. Requests for such equipment must meet all traditional requirements in accordance with law and DSCA policy guidance. The information sought will be used to more effectively identify potential recipients.
