software, and data identified are 

classified to protect vulnerabilities, 

design and performance parameters and 

other similar critical information. 

3. The AN/APG–83 is an Active 

Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) 

radar upgrade for the F–16V. It includes 

higher processor power, higher 

transmission power, more sensitive 

receiver electronics, and synthetic 

aperture radar (SAR), which creates 

higher-resolution ground maps from a 

greater distance than existing 

mechanically scanned array radars (e.g., 

APG–68). The upgrade features an 

increase in detection range of air targets, 

increases in processing speed and 

memory, as well as significant 

improvements in all modes. The highest 

classification of the radar is SECRET. 

4. AN/ALQ–211 Airborne Integrated 

Defensive Electronic Warfare Suite 

(AIDEWS) System provides passive 

radar warning, wide spectrum RF 

jamming, and control and management 

of the entire EW system. Commercially 

developed system software and 

hardware is UNCLASSIFIED. The 

system is classified SECRET when 

loaded with a U.S. derived EW database, 

which will be provided. 

5. The secure voice communications 

radio system is considered unclassified, 

but may employ cryptographic 

technology that is classified SECRET. 

Classified elements include operating 

characteristics, parameters, technical 

data, and keying material. 

6. An Advanced Identification Friend 

or Foe (AIFF) is a system capable of 

transmitting and interrogating Mode V. 

It is UNCLASSIFIED unless Mode IV or 

Mode V operational evaluator 

parameters are loaded into the 

equipment that is classified SECRET. 

Classified elements of the AIFF system 

include software object code, operating 

characteristics, parameters, and 

technical data. 

7. The Embedded GPS–INS (EGI) LN– 

260 is a sensor that combines GPS and 

inertial sensor inputs to provide 

accurate location information for 

navigation and targeting. The EGI LN– 

260 is UNCLASSIFIED. The GPS cryptovariable keys needed for highest GPS 

accuracy are classified up to SECRET. 

8. The LAU–129 Guided Missile 

Launcher is capable of launching a 

single AIM–9 (Sidewinder) family of 

missile or a single AIM–120 Advanced 

Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile 

(AMRAAM). The LAU–129 provides 

mechanical and electrical interface 

between missile and aircraft. The LAU– 

129 system is UNCLASSIFIED. 

9. The Modular Mission Computer 

(MMC) is the central computer for the 

F–16. As such it serves as the hub for 

all aircraft subsystems, avionics, and 

weapons. The hardware and software 

(Operational Flight Program—OFP) are 

classified up to SECRET. 

10. An Improved Programmable 

Display Generator (iPDG) will support 

the two color MFD’s, allowing the pilot 

to set up to twelve display programs. 

One of them includes a color Horizontal 

Situation Display, which will provide 

the pilot with a God’s eye view of the 

tactical situation. Inside is a 20MHz, 32- 

bit Intel 80960 Display Processor and a 

256K battery-backed RAM system 

memory. The color graphics controller 

is based on the T.I. TMS34020 Raster 

Graphics Chipset. The iPDG also 

contains substantial growth capabilities 

including a high-speed Ethernet 

interface (10/100BaseT) and all the 

hardware necessary to support digital 

moving maps. The digital map function 

can be enabled by the addition of 

software. The hardware and software are 

UNCLASSIFIED. 

11. M61A1 20mm Vulcan Cannon: 

The 20mm Vulcan cannon is a six 

barreled automatic cannon chambered 

in 20x120mm with a cyclic rate of fire 

from 2,500–6,000 shots per minute. This 

weapon is a hydraulically powered air 

cooled Gatlin gun used to damage/ 

destroy aerial targets, suppress/ 

incapacitate personnel targets, and 

damage or destroy moving and 

stationary light materiel targets. The 

M61Al and its components are 

UNCLASSIFIED. 

12. Software, hardware, and other 

data or information, which is classified 

or sensitive, is reviewed prior to release 

to protect system vulnerabilities, design 

data, and performance parameters. 

Some end-item hardware, software, and 

other data identified above are classified 

at the CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET 

level. Potential compromise of these 

systems is controlled through 

management of the basic software 

programs of highly sensitive systems 

and software-controlled weapon 

systems on a case-by-case basis. 

13. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the specific hardware or software source 

code in this proposed sale, the 

information could be used to develop 

countermeasures which might reduce 

weapon system effectiveness or be used 

in the development of systems with 

similar or advance capabilities. 

14. 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. 

15. A determination has been made 

that the recipient country can provide 

substantially 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. 

16. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal are authorized 

for release and export to the 

Government of Bahrain.

Title of Collection: 2017–18 National 

Postsecondary Student Aid Study 

Administrative Collection (NPSAS: 18– 

AC). 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0666. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 10,804. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 63,335. 

Abstract: This request is to conduct 

the 2017–18 National Postsecondary 

Student Aid Study, Administrative 

Collection (NPSAS:18–AC). This study 

is being conducted by the National 

Center for Education Statistics (NCES). 

NPSAS is a nationally representative 

study of how students and their families 

finance education beyond high school. 

The first NPSAS was implemented by 

NCES during the 1986–87 academic 

year to meet the need for national data 

about significant financial aid issues. 

Since 1987, NPSAS has been fielded 

every 3 to 4 years, most recently during 

the 2015–16 academic year (NPSAS:16). 

This submission is for NPSAS:18–AC, 

which departs from the design of 

previous NPSAS studies in three 

respects: It is anticipated to include 

state-representative estimates for 

undergraduate students overall and in 

public 2-year and public 4-year 

institutions; it will provide financial aid 

estimates 2-years earlier than how the 

studies were previously scheduled; and
