POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Romania--Sentinel Radar Systems
The Government of Romania has requested to buy four (4) AN/MPQ-64
F1 Sentinel radar systems. The following non-MDE items will also be
included: IPS-250X High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptors (HAIPE);
KIV-77 Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF) crypto appliqu[eacute] with
Mode 5 and Mode S capability; AN/PSN-13 Defense Advanced Global
Positioning System (GPS) Receivers (DAGR) with Selective Availability
Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM); AN/PYQ-10 Simple Key Loaders (SKL);
support equipment; spare and repair parts, consumables, accessories and
repair and return support; classified software; classified command and
control (C2) systems and communications and data supply systems; prime
movers; new equipment training; weapon system support and test
equipment; publications and technical documentation; personnel training
and training equipment; classified software; classified books and
publications; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical,
and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics
and program support. The estimated total cost is $110 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and
national security objectives of the United States by improving the
security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political stability and
economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve Romania's capability to meet current
and future threats by providing a credible force that is capable of
deterring adversaries and participating in NATO operations. Romania
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 RTX Corporation, located in
Andover, MA. There are no known offset agreements in connection with
this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require approximately
five U.S. Government and five U.S. contractor representatives to travel
to Romania for a duration of up to five years to support equipment
fielding and training.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 24-109
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 AN/MPQ-64F1 Sentinel radar's detection range, mobility and
360-degree azimuth coverage allow it to support short or medium range
air defense weapons located throughout the battle area. Sentinel
acquires, tracks, and reports cruise missiles, unmanned aerial systems,
and fixed and rotary wing aircraft in environments with electronic
countermeasures or other complex challenges. The Sentinel F1 radar
provides track data and status messages to and receives commands from
the Fire Distribution Center (FDC) over the Remote Radar Data Link
(RRDL). The Data Link Terminal provides the hardware connection between
the radar's output panel and the FDC communication media.
2. The Sentinel radar also supports target identification by means
of an integrated Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF) system. The IFF
system interrogates targets and threats automatically or as directed by
the operator, and the results are automatically correlated within the
radar. The radar contains operational software with specific electronic
counter-countermeasures capability designed to counter electronic
attack.
3. The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
4. 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.
5. A determination has been made that Romania can provide
substantially the same degree of protection for the sensitive
technology being released as the U.S. Government. This proposed sale is
necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives outlined in the Policy Justification.
6. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of
Romania.
