Transmittal No. 23–49 

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 F–35A Conventional Take Off 

and Landing (CTOL) aircraft is a single 

seat, single engine, all-weather, stealth, 

fifth-generation multirole aircraft. It 

contains sensitive technology including 

a low observable airframe/outer mold 

line, the Pratt and Whitney F135 engine, 

AN/APG–81 radar, an integrated core 

processor central computer, a mission 

systems/electronic warfare suite, a 

multiple sensor suite, and technical data 

and documentation and associated 

software. Sensitive elements of the F– 

35A are also included in operational 

flight and maintenance trainers. 

Sensitive and classified elements of the 

F–35A CTOL aircraft include hardware, 

accessories, components, and associated 

software for the following major 

subsystems: 

a. The Pratt & Whitney F135 engine is 

a single 40,000-lb thrust class engine 

designed for the F–35 and assures 

highly reliable, affordable performance. 

The engine is designed to be utilized in 

all F–35 variants, providing unmatched 

commonality and supportability 

throughout the worldwide base of F–35 

users. 

b. The AN/APG–81 Active 

Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) is 

a high processing power and high 

transmission power electronic array 

capable of detecting air and ground 

targets from a greater distance than 

mechanically scanned array radars. It 

also contains a synthetic aperture radar 

(SAR), which creates high-resolution 

ground maps and provides both weather 

data to the pilot and air and ground 

tracks to the mission system, the latter 

of which is used as a component to fuse 

sensor data by the mission system. 

c. The Electro-Optical Targeting 

System (EOTS) provides long-range 

detection and tracking, as well as an 

infrared search and track (IRST) and 

forward-looking infrared (FLIR) 

capability for precision tracking, 

weapons delivery, and bomb damage 

assessment (BDA). The EOTS replaces 

multiple separate internal or podded 

systems typically found on legacy 

aircraft. 

d. The Electro-Optical Distributed 

Aperture System (EODAS) provides the 

pilot with full spherical coverage for airto-air and air-to-ground threat 

awareness, day/night vision 

enhancements, a fire control capability 

and precision tracking of wingmen and 

friendly aircraft. The EODAS provides 

data directly to the pilot’s helmet as 

well as the mission system. 

e. The F–35 Electronic Warfare (EW) 

system is a reprogrammable, integrated 

system that provides radar warning and 

electronic support measures (ESM) 

along with a fully integrated 

countermeasures (CM) system. The EW 

system is the primary subsystem used to 

enhance situational awareness, targeting 

support, and self-defense through the 

search, intercept, and location and 

identification of in-band emitters and to 

automatically counter infrared (IR) and 

radio frequency (RF) threats. 

f. The F–35 Command, Control, 

Communications, Computers and 

Intelligence/Communications, 

Navigation, and Identification (C4I/CNI) 

system provides the pilot with 

unmatched connectivity to flight 

members, coalition forces, and the 

battlefield. It is an integrated subsystem 

designed to provide a broad spectrum of 

secure, anti-jam voice and data 

communications, precision radio 

navigation and landing capability, selfidentification, beyond visual range 

target identification, and connectivity to 

off-board sources of information. It also 

includes an inertial navigation and 

global positioning system (GPS) for 

precise location information. The 

functionality is tightly integrated within 

the mission system to enhance 

efficiency. 

g. The F–35 C4I/CNI system includes 

two data links: the Multi-Function 

Advanced Data Link (MADL) and Link16. The MADL is designed specifically 

for the F–35 and allows for stealthy 

communications between F–35s. Link16 is an advanced command, control, 

communications, and intelligence (C3I) 

system incorporating jam-resistant, 

digital communication links for 

exchange of near real-time tactical 

information, including both data and 

voice, among air, ground, and sea 

elements. It provides the warfighter key 

theater functions such as surveillance, 

identification, air control, weapons 

engagement coordination, and direction 

for all services and allied forces. Link16 equipment allows the F–35 to 

communicate with legacy aircraft using 

widely-distributed J-series message 

protocols. 

h. The F–35 Autonomic Logistics 

Global Sustainment (ALGS) provides a 

fully integrated logistics management 

solution. ALGS integrates a number of 

functional areas, including supply chain 

management, repair, support 

equipment, engine support, and 

training. The ALGS infrastructure 

employs a state-of-the-art information 

system that provides real-time, decisionworthy information for sustainment 

decisions by flight line personnel. 

Prognostic health monitoring 

technology is integrated with the air 

system and is crucial to predictive 

maintenance of vital components. 

i. The F–35 Autonomic Logistics 

Information System (ALIS) provides an 

intelligent information infrastructure 

that binds all the key concepts of ALGS 

into an effective support system. ALIS 

establishes the appropriate interfaces 

among the F–35, the warfighter, the 

training system, government 

information technology (IT) systems, 

and supporting commercial enterprise 

systems. Additionally, ALIS provides a 

comprehensive tool for data collection 

and analysis, decision support, and 

action tracking. 

j. The F–35 Training System includes 

several training devices to provide 

integrated training for pilots and 

maintainers. The pilot training devices 

include a Full Mission Simulator (FMS) 

and Deployable Mission Rehearsal 

Trainer (DMRT). The maintenance 

training devices include an Aircraft 

Systems Maintenance Trainer (ASMT), 

Ejection System Maintenance Trainer 

(ESMT), Outer Mold Line (OML) Lab, 

Flexible Linear Shaped Charge (FLSC) 

Trainer, F135 Engine Module Trainer, 

and Weapons Loading Trainer (WLT). 

The F–35 Training System can be 

integrated, where both pilots and 

maintainers learn in the same Integrated 

Training Center (ITC). Alternatively, the 

pilots and maintainers can train in 

separate facilities (Pilot Training Center 

and Maintenance Training Center). 

k. Other subsystems, features, and 

capabilities include the F–35’s low 

observable air frame, Integrated Core 

Processor (ICP) Central Computer, 

Helmet Mounted Display System 

(HMDS), Pilot Life Support System 

(LSS), Off-Board Mission Support 

(OMS) System, and publications and 

maintenance manuals. The HMDS 

provides a fully sunlight readable 

biocular display presentation of aircraft 

information projected onto the pilot’s 

helmet visor. The use of a night vision 

camera integrated into the helmet 

eliminates the need for separate Night 

Vision Goggles. The Pilot LSS provides 

a measure of pilot chemical, biological, 

and radiological protection through use 

of an On-Board Oxygen Generating 

System (OBOGS). OBOGS takes the 

Power and Thermal Management 

System (PTMS) air and enriches it by 

removing gases (mainly nitrogen) by 

adsorption, thereby increasing the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
83856 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 202 / Friday, October 18, 2024 / Notices 

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.

(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.

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
