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. 

Transmittal No. 23–52 

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 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.
