* as defined in Section 47(6) of the 

Arms Export Control Act. 

Policy Justification 

Australia—Close-In Weapon System 

Block 1B Baseline 2 Upgrade 

The Government of Australia has 

requested a possible sale of up to 3 

Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) Block 

1B Baseline 1 to Baseline 2 upgrade kits: 

the overhaul and upgrade of up to 9 

CIWS Block 1A mounts to Block 1B 

Baseline 2 systems; 11 Remote Control 

Stations; 11 Local Control Stations, 

spare and repair parts; support 

equipment; test equipment; personnel 

training and training equipment; 

publications and technical 

documentation; U.S. Government and 

contractor logistics and technical 

support services; and other related 

elements of logistics and program 

support. The estimated cost is $76 

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 major ally 

which has been, and continues to be a 

staunch coalition partner and important 

force for political stability throughout 

the world. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Australia’s maritime defense capability 

to contribute to national defense and 

future coalition operations. Australia 

will use the enhanced capability as a 

deterrent to regional threats and to 

strengthen its shipboard defense. 

Australia will have no difficulty 

absorbing this new upgrade 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 

Raytheon Missile Systems Company in 

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 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Australia. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 14–50 

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 CIWS Block 1B Baseline 2 

upgrade represents an increase in threat 

acquisition and firepower accuracy over 

the Block 1B Baseline 1 and CIWS Block 

1A configurations. The Baseline 2 

variant includes a radar improvement 

upgrade and an electro-optical sensor to 

improve weapon system performance 

against low-observable; sea-skimming 

threats, and provides improved 

capability to concentrate hard-kill 

ordnance in a tighter pattern on the 

threat. The CIWS mount and spare 

hardware are Unclassified. The radar 

improvement/upgrade is the most 

sensitive portion of the Baseline 2 

configuration. The hardware, software, 

and the majority of the technical 

documentation are Unclassified. 

2. The CIWS Block 1B Baseline 2 

upgrade will result in the transfer of 

highly accurate close-in engagement 

technology and ship self-defense 

capability. The equipment, hardware, 

and the majority of documentation are 

Unclassified. The embedded software 

and operational performance are 

classified Confidential. The seeker/

electro-optical control section and the 

target detector are Unclassified, but 

contain sensitive state-of-the-art 

technology. Twelve sets of Technical 

Manuals used to support the operation 

and provisioning of organizational-level 

maintenance are Confidential. The 

technical and operational data 

identified above is classified to protect 

vulnerabilities, design and performance 

parameters, and similar critical 

information. 

3. 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 advanced capabilities. 

4. 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. 

5. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Government of Australia.
