concentration of oxygen in the product 

gas and supplying breathable air to the 

pilot. An escape system provides 

additional protection to the pilot. The 

OMS provides a mission planning, 

mission briefing, and a maintenance, 

intelligence, and tactical debriefing 

platform for the F–35. 

2. The AIM–120C–8 Advanced 

Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile 

(AMRAAM) is a supersonic, airlaunched, aerial intercept guided 

missile featuring digital technology and 

micro-miniature, solid-state electronics. 

AMRAAM capabilities include lookdown/shoot-down, multiple launches 

against multiple targets, resistance to 

electronic countermeasures, and 

interception of high- and low-flying and 

maneuvering targets. This potential sale 

will include Captive Air Training 

Missiles (CATM) as well as AMRAAM 

guidance sections, propulsion sections, 

control sections, telemetry systems, and 

warhead spares. 

3. The GBU–53/B Small Diameter 

Bomb—Increment II (SDB–II) 

StormBreaker All-Up-Round (AUR) is a 

250-lb class precision-guided, 

semiautonomous, conventional air-toground munition used to defeat moving 

targets from standoff range and capable 

of operating in adverse weather. The 

SDB–II has deployable wings and fins 

and uses Global Positioning System/ 

Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS) 

guidance, network-enabled datalink 

(Link-16 and UHF), and a multi-mode 

seeker (millimeter wave radar, imaging 

infrared, semi-active laser) to 

autonomously search, acquire, track, 

and defeat a variety of moving or 

stationary targets, at standoff range or 

close in, in a variety of attack modes. 

The SDB–II employs a multi-effects 

warhead (blast, fragmentation, and 

shaped-charge) for maximum lethality 

against armored and soft targets. The 

SDB–II weapon system consists of the 

tactical AUR weapon, a 4-place common 

carriage system, and mission planning 

system munitions application program 

(MAP). This potential sale includes 

SDB–II Guided Test Vehicles (GTV) and 

Captive Carry Reliability Trainers 

(CCRT). 

4. Joint Direct Attack Munitions 

(JDAM) consist of a bomb body paired 

with a warhead-specific tail kit 

containing an Inertial Navigation 

System (INS)/Global Positioning System 

(GPS) guidance capability that converts 

unguided free-fall bombs into accurate, 

adverse weather ‘‘smart’’ munitions. 

The JDAM weapon can be delivered 

from modest standoff ranges at high or 

low altitudes against a variety of land 

and surface targets during the day or 

night. The JDAM can receive target 

coordinates via preplanned mission data 

from the delivery aircraft, by onboard 

aircraft sensors (e.g., FLIR, radar, etc.) 

during captive carry, or from a thirdparty source via manual or automated 

aircrew cockpit entry. This potential 

sale will include either of the following 

variants as well as JDAM trainer tail 

kits. 

a. The GBU–31v1 is a 2,000-lb JDAM, 

consisting of a KMU–556 tail kit and 

BLU–117 or Mk-84 bomb body. 

b. The GBU–31v3 is a 2,000-lb JDAM, 

consisting of a KMU–557 tail kit and 

BLU–109 bomb body. 

5. The AIM–9X Block II and Block II+ 

Tactical Sidewinder Missiles represent a 

substantial increase in missile 

acquisition and kinematics performance 

over the AIM–9M and replaces the 

AIM–9X Block I Missile configuration. 

The missiles include a high offboresight seeker, enhanced 

countermeasure rejection capability, a 

low drag and high angle of attack 

airframe, and the ability to integrate 

with a helmet mounted cueing system. 

The software algorithms are the most 

sensitive portion of the AIM–9X missile. 

The software continues to be modified 

via a System Improvement Program 

(SIP) to improve countercountermeasure capabilities. This 

potential sale will include AIM–9X 

CATMs, multipurpose/dummy training 

missiles, guidance and control section 

spares, containers, and DSU–41B Active 

Optical Target Detectors (AOTD). 

6. The FMU–139 Joint Programmable 

Fuze (JPF) is a multi-delay, multi-arm, 

and proximity sensor compatible with 

general purpose blast, frag, and 

hardened-target penetrator weapons. 

The JPF settings are cockpit selectable 

in flight when used with numerous 

precision-guided weapons. 

7. The AN/PYQ–10 Simple Key 

Loader is a portable, hand-held device 

used for securely receiving, storing, and 

transferring data between compatible 

cryptographic and communications 

equipment. 

8. The ALE–70 is a radio frequency 

countermeasure (RFCM) transmitter 

dispenser system designed to fit into the 

F–35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft. 

The ALE–70 consists of the reel and 

launcher assembly, tow line, T–1687 

countermeasure transmitter, and 

electronic and mechanical 

subassemblies, along with canisters and 

explosive cartridges that deploy decoys 

to provide self-protection against radar 

guided missiles for aircraft. 

9. The Common Munitions Built-InTest (BIT)/Reprogramming Equipment 

(CMBRE) is supporting equipment used 

to interface with weapon systems to 

initiate and report BIT results and both 

upload and download flight software. 

CMBRE supports multiple munitions 

platforms with a range of applications 

that perform preflight checks, conduct 

periodic maintenance checks, declassify 

munitions memory, and load 

Operational Flight Program (OFP) data, 

munitions mission planning data, and 

Global Positioning System (GPS) 

cryptographic keys. 

10. The Electronic Warfare 

Reprogramming Lab is used by U.S. 

Government engineers in the 

reprogramming and creation of 

shareable Mission Data Files for foreign 

F–35 customers. 

11. The highest level of classification 

of defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

12. 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. 

13. A determination has been made 

that the Czech Republic 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. 

14. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Government of the Czech Republic.

Needs and Uses: This collection of 

information is in response to requests 

for involuntary allotments. Before 

responding to a request, the responsible 

government official must have 

information that identifies both the 

applicant and the member against 

whom the involuntary allotment is 

sought; proves that the request is based 

on a valid court judgment; shows that 

the judgment comports with the 

provision of the Soldiers and Sailors 

Civil Relief Act (SCRA); and enables 

consideration for whether exigencies of 

military duty caused the absence of the 

member from a judicial proceeding 

upon which the judgment is based. 

Apart from information concerning 

exigencies of military duty, an applicant 

for an involuntary allotment must 

provide required information before a 

government official can act on the 

applicant’s request. The information 

from the DD Form 2653 is used by 

DFAS officials to determine whether an 

involuntary allotment should be 

established against the pay of a member 

of the Armed Forces. The information is 

used to provide government reviewing 

officials with necessary information to 

ensure that both the law and due 

process considerations are accounted 

for, including information sufficient for 

a decision maker to determine that the 

request is based on a valid judgment 

and that the SCRA has been complied 

with.
