consistent with U.S. law and policy as 

expressed in Public Law 96–8. This 

proposed sale serves U.S. national, 

economic, and security interests by 

supporting the recipient’s continuing 

efforts to modernize its armed forces 

and to maintain a credible defensive 

capability. The proposed sale will help 

improve the security of the recipient 

and assist in maintaining political 

stability, military balance, economic 

and progress in the region. 

(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The 

Sniper ATP is an electro-optical 

targeting system housed in a single, 

lightweight pod. It is the most widely 

fielded combat-tested targeting pod 

system employed today and handles the 

most challenging precision targeting and 

intelligence, surveillance and 

reconnaissance air-to-air and air-toground missions in the land, sea, and air 

domains. 

The IRST is a type of sensor that can 

detect and track threats that have 

infrared signatures, at long ranges. It can 

act without emitting any radiation of its 

own and enables aircrews to detect 

adversaries, before those adversaries see 

or sense them. 

The highest level of classification of 

information included in this potential 

sale is SECRET.
