POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Estonia—Javelin Missiles 

The Government of Estonia has 

requested a possible sale of 350 Javelin 

Guided Missiles, 120 Command Launch 

Units (CLU) with Integrated Day/

Thermal Sight, 102 Battery Coolant 

Units, 16 Enhanced Performance Basic 

Skills Trainers (EPBST), 102 Missile 

Simulation Rounds (MSR), spare and 

repair parts, rechargeable and nonrechargeable batteries, battery chargers 

and dischargers, support equipment, 

publications and technical data, 

personnel training and training 

equipment, U.S. Government and 

contractor representative engineering, 

technical and logistics support services, 

and other related logistics support. The 

estimated cost is $55 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the security of a NATO ally. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Estonia’s capability to meet current and 

future threats and provide greater 

security for its critical infrastructure. 

Estonia will use the enhanced capability 

to strengthen its homeland defense. 

Estonia will have no difficulty absorbing 

these missiles into its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractors will be 

Raytheon/Lockheed Martin Javelin Joint 

Venture in Orlando, Florida and 

Tucson, Arizona. There are no known 

offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

U.S. Government or contractor 

representatives to Estonia. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 14–54 

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. The Javelin Weapon System is a 

medium-range, man-portable, shoulderlaunched, fire-and-forget, anti-armor 

system. Javelin uses fire-and-forget 

technology which allows the gunner to 

fire and immediately relocate or take 

cover. Other features include top attack 

and direct fire modes, an advanced 

tandem warhead and imaging infrared 

seeker, target lock-on before launch, and 

soft launch from enclosures. The Javelin 

missile also has a minimum smoke 

motor thus decreasing its detection on 

the battlefield. The Javelin Training 

System consists of the following 

training devices: the missile simulation 

round, the basic skills trainer and the 

field tactical trainer, Javelin Weapon 

Effects Simulator (JAVWES), and tripod. 

3. The Javelin Weapon System is 

comprised of two major tactical 

components, which include a reusable 

Command Launch Unit (CLU) and a 

round contained in a disposable launch 

tube assembly. The CLU incorporates an 

integrated day-night sight that provides 

a target engagement capability in 

adverse weather and countermeasure 

environments. The CLU may also be 

used in a stand-alone mode for 

battlefield surveillance and target 

detection. The CLU’s thermal sight is a 

second generation Forward-Looking 

Infrared (FLIR) sensor operating in the 

8–10 micron wavelength and has a 240 

X 2 scanning array with a Dewar-coolant 

unit. To facilitate initial loading and 

subsequent updating of software, all onboard missile software is uploaded via 

the CLU after mating and prior to 

launch. 

4. The Javelin Missile System 

hardware and the documentation are 

Unclassified. The missile software 

which resides in the CLU is considered 

sensitive. The sensitivity is primarily in 

the software programs which instruct 

the system how to operate in the 

presence of countermeasures. Programs 

are contained in the system in the form 

of microprocessors with Read Only 

Memory (ROM) maps, which do not 

provide the software program itself. The 

overall hardware is considered sensitive 

in that the modulation frequency and 

infrared wavelengths could be used in 

countermeasure development. 

5. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the specific hardware and 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. 

6. 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. Moreover, the benefits to 

be derived from this sale, as outlined in 

the Policy Justification, outweigh the 

potential damage that could result if the 

sensitive technology were revealed to 

unauthorized persons. 

7. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Government of Estonia.

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Greece—P–3B Aircraft Overhaul and 

Upgrade 

The Government of Greece has 

requested a possible sale for 

modification and reactivation of two (2) 

P–3B aircraft, and the upgrade of up to 

five (5) P–3B aircraft that will include 

structural Mid Life Upgrades (MLU), 

Phased Depot Maintenance (PDM), 

Mission Integration and Management 

Systems (MIMS), and new flight 

avionics. The MLU kits will provide

aircraft for land-based maritime patrol 

and reconnaissance, surveillance and 

protection of areas of national interest. 

The HN 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 Aeronautics Company 

in Marietta, Georgia. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require multiple trips to Greece by 

U.S. Government and contractor 

representatives for a period of seven 

years for delivery, system checkout, 

training, and program reviews. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
