POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

United Arab Emirates—AN/TPQ–50 

Radar 

The Government of the United Arab 

Emirates (UAE) has requested to buy 

eighteen (18) AN/TPQ–50 Radar 

Systems—man portable version. Also 

included are 107mm High Explosive 

(HE) rockets (for CONUS testing only); 

Computer Digital Military Laptop Radar 

Control Display units; 5kW Advanced 

Medium Mobile Power Source 

(AMMPS) Trailer-Mounted, Diesel 

Engine Driven Power Unit PU–2001; 

spares; mission equipment; 

communication and navigation 

equipment; support equipment; repair 

parts; special tools and test equipment; 

technical data and publications; site 

survey; U.S. Government and contractor 

technical and logistics personnel 

services; and other related elements of 

logistics and program support. The 

estimated total cost is $85 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by helping to improve 

the security of an important regional 

partner. The UAE is a vital U.S. partner 

for political stability and economic 

progress in the Middle East. 

The proposed sale will support efforts 

to protect critical infrastructure and 

high value civilian assets, as well as 

military installations and forces from 

rocket, artillery, and mortar (RAM) and 

unmanned aerial system threats. It will 

also further enhance the United States— 

UAE relationship, both politically and 

militarily, while also increasing the 

UAE’s effectiveness in executing 

military and civil defense operations 

that promote U.S. national interests. The 

UAE will use the TPQ–50 radars to 

recognize incoming threats from hostile 

nations or agents of adversary nations. 

The United Arab Emirates will have no 

difficulty absorbing this equipment and 

services 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 SRC 

Inc, Syracuse, NY. There are no known 

offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the permanent 

assignment of any additional U.S. 

Government or contractor 

representatives to the UAE. Temporary 

periods of travel for two-week durations 

for both U.S. Government and 

contractor personnel will be necessary 

to conduct Operator/Maintainer 

training, as well as System Integration & 

Check Out (SICO)/Quality Assurance 

and Testing (QUAT) activities. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

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

Arms Export Control Act 

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The AN/TPQ–50 Radar System— 

man portable version—provides 

continuous 360-degree surveillance and 

3–D rocket, artillery, and mortar (RAM) 

locations using a L band non-rotating 

antenna with fixed elevation beams and 

which is electronically steered in 

azimuth only. Its full azimuth coverage 

allows it to simultaneously detect and 

track multiple rounds fired from 

separate locations within a 700 square 

kilometer surveillance area. The AN/ 

TPQ 50 radar provides Point of Origin 

(POO) and Point of Impact (POI) 

locations for hostile RAM fire and 

tracking of air breathing targets (ABTs) 

in air surveillance (AS) and multimission radar (MMR) modes. 

2. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

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. 

4. A determination has been made 

that the United Arab Emirates 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. 

5. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

United Arab Emirates.

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Germany—MK 54 Lightweight 

Torpedoes 

The Government of Germany has 

requested to buy up to eighty (80) MK 

54 All Up Round Lightweight 

Torpedoes (LWT). Also included are 

MK 54 Mod 0 LWT spare parts; 

Recoverable Exercise Torpedoes 

(REXTORPs) with containers; handling 

shapes and containers; torpedo spare 

parts; tools for mounting and 

dismounting of Air Launch Accessories 

(ALAs); equipment for analysis of

equipment; U.S. Government and 

contractor engineering, technical, and 

logistics support services; and other 

related elements of logistics and 

program support. The estimated total 

program cost is $300 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by improving the 

security of a NATO Ally that is an 

important force for political and 

economic stability in Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Germany’s capability to meet current 

and future threats by upgrading AntiSubmarine Warfare capabilities on its 

P–8A aircraft. Germany will have no 

difficulty absorbing this equipment 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 

Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, 

Portsmouth, RI. There are no known 

offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Germany; 

however, U.S. Government Engineering 

and Technical Services may be required 

on an interim basis for training and 

technical assistance. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The MK 54 Torpedo is a 

conventional torpedo that can be 

launched from surface ships, rotary and 

fixed wing aircraft. The MK 54 is an 

upgrade to the MK 46 Torpedo. The 

upgrade to the MK 54 entails 

replacement of the torpedo’s sonar and 

guidance and control systems with 

modem technology. The new guidance 

and control system uses a mixture of 

commercial-off-the-shelf and custombuilt electronics. The warhead, fuel 

tank, and propulsion system from the 

MK 46 torpedo are re-used in the MK 54 

configuration with minor modifications. 

2. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

3. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the hardware and software elements, the 

information could be used to develop 

countermeasures or equivalent systems 

which might reduce system 

effectiveness or be used in the 

development of a system with similar or 

advanced capabilities. 

4. A determination has been made 

that Germany 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. 

5. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been
