POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Jordan—M31 Unitary Guided Multiple 

Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) Rocket 

Pods 

The Government of Jordan has 

requested a possible sale of 72 M31 

Unitary Guided Multiple Launch Rocket 

Systems (GMLRS) Rocket Pods (6 

rockets per pod for a total of 432), 

support equipment, spare and repair 

parts, publications and technical data, 

personnel training and equipment, 

systems integration support, U.S. 

Government and contractor engineering 

and logistics personnel services, and 

other related elements of logistics 

support. The estimated cost is $192 

million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the U.S. by helping to improve the 

security of a partner country that has 

been and continues to be an important 

force for political stability and economic 

progress in the Middle East. It is vital to 

the U.S. national interest that Jordan 

develops and maintains a strong and 

ready self-defense capability. This 

proposed sale is consistent with the U.S. 

regional objectives and will not impact 

the regional stability in the Middle East. 

The proposed sale of GMLRS will 

improve Jordan’s capability to meet 

current and future threats on its borders 

and provide greater security for its 

economic infrastructure. The GMLRS 

will provide the Royal Jordanian Armed 

Forces (JAF) a long-range precision 

artillery support capability that will 

significantly improve U.S.-JAF 

interoperability and provide for the 

defense of vital installations. Jordan will 

have no difficulty absorbing these 

additional systems 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 Missile and Fire 

Control in Dallas, Texas. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this sale will not 

require the assignment of any additional 

U.S. Government or contractor 

representatives to Jordan. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 15–07 

Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of 

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

Arms Export Control Act, as amended 

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. Guided Multiple Launch Rocket 

System (GMLRS) munitions are the 

Army’s primary Joint Expeditionary, allweather, 24/7, tactical precision-guided 

rockets. GMLRS is the primary 

munitions system for units fielded with 

the High Mobility Artillery Rocket 

System (HIMARS) and Multiple Launch 

Rocket Systems (MLRS) M270A1 rocket 

and missile launcher platforms. GMLRS 

provides close, medium, and long range 

precision and area fires to destroy, 

suppress, and shape threat forces and 

protect friendly forces against cannon, 

mortar, rocket and missile artillery, light 

material and armor, personnel, 

command and control, and air defense 

surface targets. GMLRS integrates 

guidance and control packages and an 

improved rocket motor achieving greater 

range and precision accuracy, requiring 

fewer rockets to defeat targets, thereby 

reducing the logistics burden. The 

highest classification level for release of 

the GMLRS Pod Unitary High Explosive 

(HE) Tri Mode is Secret, based upon the 

software, sale or testing of the end item. 

The highest level of classification that 

must be disclosed for production, 

maintenance, or training is Confidential. 

2. The Global Positioning System 

Precise Positioning Service (GPS PPS) 

component of the munition is also 

contained in the Fire Direction System, 

is classified Secret, and is considered 

sensitive. To that end, no GPS PPS 

design information, including GPS 

software algorithms, will be disclosed in 

the course of this proposed sale to 

Jordan. Susceptibility of GMLRS to 

diversion or exploitation is considered 

low risk. The GMLRS employs an 

inertial navigational system that is aided 

by a Selective Availability AntiSpoofing Module (SAASM) equipped 

GPS receiver. 

3. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the specific hardware and software, the 

information could be used to develop 

countermeasures, which 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 recipient country can provide 

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 

Government of Jordan.
