Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 42 / Thursday, March 3, 2022 / Notices 12141 

This transmittal reports Australia’s 

request for additional sustainment and 

upgrades to the Australian F/A-18F 

fleet. The upgrades include up to thirtytwo (32) Multifunctional Information 

Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio 

System (MIDS JTRS) Upgrade Kits with 

Tactical Targeting Network Technology 

(TTNT); up to thirty-one (31) 

Distributed Targeting Processor— 

Networked (DTP-N) units; up to fiftyone (51) High Definition Video 

Recorders (HDVR); and up to fifty-three 

(53) AN/ARC-210 RT-2036 Radios. The 

sale also includes system integration 

and testing; software development; 

spares; support equipment; and 

government and contracting technical 

assistance. The overall MDE value will 

increase to $292.5 million and the 

overall total value will increase to $2 

billion. 

(iv) Significance: This proposed sale 

will allow Australia to effectively 

maintain its current force projection 

capability that enhances interoperability 

with U.S. forces well into the future. 

(v) Justification: This proposed sale 

supports the foreign policy and national 

security objectives of the United States 

by improving the security of a Major 

Non-NATO Ally that is a key partner of 

the United States in ensuring peace and 

stability around the world. 

(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: 

Multifunctional Information 

Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio 

System (MIDS JTRS) Upgrade Kits with 

Tactical Targeting Network Technology 

(TTNT) provides a high capacity, low 

latency, internet Protocol (IP) based 

waveform that can quickly transmit 

large amounts of data. Advanced 

algorithms allow cooperative detection 

and engagement of a wider array of 

targets, improving fused track accuracy 

and increasing lethality/survivability 

through Situational Awareness. 

Distributed Targeting Processor— 

Networked (DTP-N) is an upgrade to the 

Distributed Targeting System (DTS) 

providing internet Protocol (IP) to the 

F/A-18F, enabling connectivity to 

advanced tactical networks. The DTP-N 

upgrade provides the foundation for a 

majority of the future flight plan strike 

capabilities, which are related to 

improved targeting and networking. 

DTP-N is networking hardware 

required for tactical use of IP based 

waveforms. This upgrade also provides 

Multi-Level Security (MLS) features, 

offering new capabilities to the platform 

through increased security assurances 

on data separation and data transfer. 

AN/ARC-210 RT-2036 Radio is a 

single-channel, software-defined radio 

with multiple waveforms, high-speed 

mobile ad hoc networked 

communications, and beyond-line-ofsight connectivity for data, voice and 

imagery. 

High Definition Video Recorders 

(HDVR) will replace the Upgraded Solid 

State Recorder (USSR) and Solid State 

Recorder (SSR), and provide cockpit 

video recording system commonality in 

Block I, Block II, and Block III F/A-18E, 

F/A-18F, and EA-18G aircraft. The 

HDVR provides Data at Rest (DAR) 

protection and four times the storage 

capacity of SSR/USSR.

Congress: March 16, 2021.

(viii) Date Report Delivered to 

Congress: March 19, 2021 

* As defined in Section 47(6) of the 

Arms Export Control Act. 

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Korea—AGM-114R Hellfire Missiles 

The Republic of Korea (ROK) has 

requested to buy two hundred eightyeight (288) AGM-114R Hellfire missiles. 

Also included are AGM-114R spare 

parts; U.S. Government and contractor 

engineering, technical, and logistics 

support services; repair and return; 

storage; and other related elements of 

logistical and program support. The 

estimated total cost is $36 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

meeting the legitimate security and 

defense needs of one of the closest allies 

in the INDOPACOM Theater. The ROK 

is one of the major political and 

economic powers in East Asia and the 

Western Pacific and a key partner of the 

United States in ensuring peace and 

stability in that region. It is vital to U.S. 

national interests to assist the ROK in 

developing and maintaining a strong 

and ready self-defense capability. 

The ROK intends to use these Hellfire 

missiles to supplement its existing 

missile capability and current weapon 

inventory for its AH-64E aircraft. The 

proposed sale will improve the ROK’s 

capability to meet current and future 

threats and ensure interoperability with 

other AGM-114R Hellfire missile users 

in the region. The Republic of Korea 

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 

Lockheed Martin Corporation, Orlando, 

FL. The purchaser typically requests 

offsets. Any offset agreements will be 

defined in negotiations between the 

purchaser and the contractor. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to the 

Republic of Korea. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 21-31 

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 AGM-114R is used against 

heavy and light armored targets, thin 

skinned vehicles, urban structures, 

bunkers, caves and personnel. The 

missile is Inertial Measurement Unit 

(IMU) based, with a variable delay fuse, 

improved safety and reliability. 

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 or 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 Republic of Korea can provide 

substantially the same degree of 

protection for the sensitive technology 

being released as the U.S. Government. 

This proposed 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 

Republic of Korea.
