Cooperative Engagement Capability 

(CEC), AN/USG–10s; and one (1) AN/ 

UYQ–120(V) Command and Control 

Processor (C2P) Technology Refresh 

System. Also included are AN/SQQ–89 

Underwater Sound Equipment Systems; 

Multi-Function Towed Array Systems; 

RT–1829 Ultra-High Frequency, 

Satellite Communications (UHF 

SATCOM) Terminals; OE–570D 

Antennas; MK20 Mod 1 Electro-optic/ 

Infrared Sensor Systems; MK160 Mod 

23 Gun Weapon Systems; MK–36 Mod 

6 Super Rapid Offboard 

Countermeasures and Decoy Launching 

System (SRBOC); U.S. Government and 

contractor representatives technical, 

engineering, and logistics support 

services; installation support material; 

training, tool development, 

communications equipment, and 

associated spares; classified and 

unclassified publications and software; 

and other related elements of logistics 

and program support. The estimated 

total value of the new items is $0.570 

billion. The net MDE value will increase 

by $0.239 billion and the non-MDE 

value by $0.331 billion. The revised 

estimated total case value will increase 

to $2.72 billion. MDE will constitute 

$0.614 billion of this total. 

(iv) Significance: The inclusion of this 

MDE represents an increase in 

capability over what was previously 

notified. The proposed articles and 

services will assist Japan in developing 

and maintaining a strong and effective 

self-defense capability. 

(v) Justification: This proposed sale 

will support the foreign policy goals and 

national 

security objectives of the United 

States by improving the security of a 

major ally that is a force for political 

stability and economic progress in the 

Asia-Pacific region. 

(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: 

The AN/SPQ–9B is a horizon search 

radar system that detects and tracks low 

radar cross section targets in high clutter 

and distributes radar track data to the 

AEGIS Combat system. The hardware is 

unclassified with the exception of the 

Radar Processor unit, which is classified 

SECRET upon connection to the combat 

system. 

The AN/SLQ–32(V)6 Electronic 

Warfare System (EWS) provide 

enhanced electronic support (ES) 

detection and accuracy capabilities to 

improve anti-ship missile defense, 

counter targeting, counter surveillance, 

and battle space awareness, and also 

distributes electronic warfare (EW) 

sensor tracks and EW composite tracks 

to the AEGIS Combat System. 

The AN/USQ–140 Multifunctional 

Information Distribution System-Low 

Volume Terminal (MIDS–LVT) is a 

secure, jam-resistant communication 

and positioning system. MIDS provides 

interoperability with NATO and 

coalition users, significantly increasing 

force command and control 

effectiveness. The Tactical Digital 

Information Link-J (TADIL–J) series 

message standard is employed by the 

system as defined in NATO 

Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 

5516 and U.S. Military Standard (MIL– 

STD) 6016. The embedded hardware 

features provide communications 

security. 

The AN/USQ–190 Multifunctional 

Information Distribution System Joint 

Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS) 

builds on the MIDS–LVT’s capabilities 

with the addition of Concurrent MultiNetting (CMN) and Concurrent 

Contention Receive (CCR) functions. 

CMN and CCR dramatically expand the 

number of platforms and networkenabled systems that can be reliably 

included in a Link 16 network. 

The Cooperative Engagement 

Capability (CEC) AN/USG–10 is a 

system that fuses tracking data from 

shipboard and off-ship sensors and 

distributes radar measurement data to 

other platforms with CEC capability. 

The hardware is unclassified with the 

exception of the Signal Data Processor, 

which is classified SECRET and 

contains a communications security 

(COMSEC) card. 

The AN/UYQ–120(V) Command and 

Control Processor (C2P) Technology 

Refresh System is a Tactical Data Link 

(TDL) message distribution system that 

provides real-time control and 

management of Tactical Digital Data 

Links (TADILs) in support of all major 

surface ship and shore command, 

control, and communications (C3) 

systems. The C2P is a follow-on 

Technical Refresh (TR) upgrade for the 

legacy AN/UYQ–86(V) variants 1 

through 7 of the Common Data Link 

Management System (CDLMS). The AN/ 

UYQ–120(V) C2P System has three 

possible variants depending on the host 

site in which it is installed and only 

uses trusted software. 

The AN/SQQ–89 is a state-of-the-art 

anti-submarine warfare and combat 

system. It consists of a complex set of 

equipment and information processing 

subsystems that provide the capability 

to provide an acoustic undersea tactical 

picture for U.S. surface combatants 

(cruisers, destroyers, frigates) as well as 

Japan’s ATAGO and MAYA class 

destroyers. The SQQ–89A(V15) 

combines processing of active and 

passive sonar sensor data from a hull/ 

bow array, towed TB–37 array, and 

sonobuoys. 

The RT–1829(P)/S is a shipboard 

Ultra High Frequency, Satellite 

Communications (UHF SATCOM) 

channel terminal that is Joint 

Interoperability Test Command (JITC)- 

assessed and NSA-certified to comply 

with legacy Demand Assigned Multiple 

Access (DAMA) MIL–STDs and 

interoperate with fielded UHF SATCOM 

terminals. The terminal allows for a 

single control and management interface 

to operate multiple voice and data 

communications simultaneously. The 

UHF SATCOM architecture will be 

configured with the OE–570D antenna 

system and will support Satellite 

TADIL–J (S TADIL–J) for extension of 

Link-16. 

The Sensitivity of Technology 

Statement contained in the original 

notification applies to other items 

reported here. 

The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET.
