POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Turkey—F–16 Avionics Upgrade 

The Government of Turkey has 

requested to buy defense articles and 

services to support upgrading its fleet of 

F–16 aircraft, to include software 

upgrades of the Operational Flight 

Program (OFP) avionics with the 

Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance 

System (AGCAS) capability; hardware 

modifications to enable integration of 

the Multifunctional Information 

Distribution System Block Upgrade II 

(MIDS BU II), procured separately; 

hardware and software upgrades to 

include aircraft major modification; 

both classified and unclassified software 

and software support; integration and 

test support; support equipment; 

training and training equipment; spare 

and repair parts; publications and 

technical documentation; U.S. 

Government and contractor engineering, 

technical, and logistical support 

services; and other related elements of 

logistical and program support. The 

estimated total cost is $259 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

helping to improve the security of a 

NATO ally that is an important force for 

political stability and economic progress 

in the Black Sea region. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Turkey’s capability to meet current and 

future threats by providing a critical 

flight safety and tactical integration 

capability to assist in defending its 

homeland and U.S. personnel stationed 

there. Turkey has demonstrated a 

willingness to modernize its F–16 

capabilities since it purchased the 

aircraft in the mid-1980s and will have 

no difficulty absorbing these capabilities 

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 

of Fort Worth, TX. There are no known 

offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this sale will not 

require the assignment of U.S. 

Government or contractor 

representatives in Turkey. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 21–34 

Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of 

Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the 

Arms Export Control Act 

Annex 

Item No. vii 

Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The Automatic Ground Collision 

Avoidance System capability is used as 

a flight safety mitigation tool in order to 

reduce incidents of controlled flight into 

terrain and ground collisions, which 

account for seventy-five percent of F–16 

pilot fatalities worldwide. The system 

consists of a series of collision 

avoidance and autonomous decisionmaking algorithms that utilize precise 

navigation, aircraft performance, and 

digital terrain data to determine if a 

collision is imminent. If the system 

determines a collision is imminent, the 

system commands an autonomous 

maneuver to prevent impact, although 

the pilot may override this 

functionality. 

2. The highest level of defense 

articles, components, and services 

included in this potential sale is 

CONFIDENTIAL. 

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 system effectiveness or be 

used in the development of a system 

with similar or advanced capabilities. 

4. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal are authorized 

for release and export to the 

Government of Turkey.

AGENCY: Election Assistance 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice, request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Election Assistance 

Commission (EAC) is publishing two 

documents for public comment. Version 

3.1 of the Testing and Certification 

Program Manual and version 3.1 of the 

Voting System Testing Laboratory 

(VSTL) Program Manual. The EAC is 

seeking public comments on these 

manuals. The public comment period 

will last 60 days. These versions replace 

version 3.0 of both documents. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

5 p.m. eastern on Friday November 15, 

2024. 

ADDRESSES: To view these documents, 

see: https://www.eac.gov/votingequipment/manuals-and-forms under 

Draft Manuals. Comments on both 

manuals should be submitted 

electronically via https://

www.regulations.gov (docket IDs: EAC– 

2024–0003). Written comments on the 

proposed document can also be sent to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In late 

2002, Congress passed the Help America 

Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), which 

created the U.S. Election Assistance 

Commission (EAC) and vested it with 

the responsibility of setting voting 

system standards and for providing for 

the testing and certification of voting 

systems. This mandate represented the 

first time the Federal Government 

provided for the voluntary testing, 

certification and decertification of 

voting systems nationwide. In response 

to this HAVA requirement, the EAC has 

developed the Voting System Testing 

and Certification Program. The manuals 

provide the procedural requirements of 

the Program. Participation in the 

Program is voluntary, but if voting 

system manufacturers and laboratories 

decide to participate then they must 

conform to the Program’s procedural 

requirements. The manuals are 

reviewed periodically and updated to 

meet the needs of the EAC, 

manufacturers, laboratories, election 

officials, and the greater election 

community. 

Public Comments: Please note that 

comments submitted in response to this 

Notice are public record. Before
