Troop Proficiency Trainer (STPT). Also 

included are Integrated Electronic 

Technical Manuals (IETMs),Government 

Furnished Equipment, spare and repair 

parts, Telemeters, Range and Test 

Support, contractor technical support, 

contractor training, contractor 

engineering services, contractor logistics 

services, consolidation, Total Package 

Fielding, Material Fielding Team, Field 

Service Representative (FSR), U.S. 

Government Technical Support, and 

other associated equipment and 

services. The estimated value is 

$216,848,586. 

This sale is consistent with United 

States 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 enhance its defensive 

capability. The proposed sale will help 

improve the security of the recipient 

and assist in maintaining political 

stability, military balance, and 

economic progress in the region. 

The proposed sale will improve the 

recipient’s capability in current and 

future defensive efforts. The recipient 

will use the enhanced capability as a 

deterrent to regional threats and to 

strengthen homeland defense. 

The recipient intends to use these 

defense articles and services to 

modernize its armed forces and to 

expand its existing air defense 

architecture to counter threats posed by 

air attack. The recipient 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 involved in 

this program is Raytheon Missile 

Systems, Tucson, Arizona. The recipient 

normally requests industrial 

cooperation at forty percent, but at this 

time there are no known offset 

agreements proposed in connection 

with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require visits to the recipient by 

twelve (12) U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives for a period of 

six (6) weeks (Non-concurrent). 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 16–06 

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 

(viii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The highest classification of the 

Stinger 92F Reprogrammable MicroProcessor (RMP) Block I Missile and 

Stinger Man-Portable Air Defense 

System (MANPADS) hardware is 

CONFIDENTIAL, and the highest 

classification of data and information is 

SECRET. 

a. The Stinger RMP Block I Missile, 

hardware, embedded software object 

code and operating documentation 

contain sensitive technology and are 

classified CONFIDENTIAL. The 

guidance section of the missile and 

tracking head trainer contain highly 

sensitive technology and are classified 

CONFIDENTIAL. Missile System 

hardware components contain sensitive 

critical technologies. Stinger Block I 

critical technology is primarily in the 

area of design and production knowhow and not end-items. This sensitive 

critical technology is inherent in the 

hybrid microcircuit assemblies; microprocessors; magnetic and amorphous 

metals; purification; firmware; printed 

circuit boards; laser roll rate sensor; 

dual detector assembly; detector filters; 

optical coatings; ultraviolet sensors; 

compounding and handling of 

electronic, electro-optic, and optical 

materials; test equipment operating 

instructions; energetic materials 

fabrication and loading technology; 

warhead components and seeker 

assembly. Information on 

countermeasures vulnerability to 

electronic countermeasures, system 

performance capabilities and 

effectiveness, simulation and test data 

and software source code are classified 

up to SECRET. 

b. Loss of this hardware and/or data 

could permit development of 

information leading to the exploitation 

of countermeasures. Therefore, if a 

technologically capable adversary were 

to obtain missile hardware or associated 

development or production information, 

the missile system could be 

compromised through reverse 

engineering techniques which could 

defeat the weapon system’s 

effectiveness. 

2. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

recipient.
