value will increase by $2.01 billion to a revised $4.76 billion.
(iv) Significance: This notification is being provided as the
additional non-MDE items were enumerated in the original notification.
The proposed sale will support Singapore's air to air and air to ground
self-defense capability, and ability to defend its borders and
contribute to coalition operations.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the
security of a strategic partner that is an important force for
[[Page 1527]]
political stability and economic progress in Asia.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
The F-35A Lightning II aircraft is a single seat, single engine,
all-weather, stealth, fifth- generation, multirole aircraft. It
contains sensitive technology, including the low observable airframe
and outer mold line (OML), Pratt and Whitney F135 engine, AN/APG-81
radar, integrated core processor central computer, mission systems and
electronic warfare suite, multiple sensor suite, technical data and
documentation, and associated software. Sensitive elements of the F-35A
are also included in operational flight and maintenance trainers.
The F-35 Training System includes several training devices to
provide integrated training for pilots and maintainers. The pilot
training devices include a Full Mission Simulator (FMS) and Deployable
Mission Rehearsal Trainer (DMRT). The maintenance training devices
include an Aircraft Systems Maintenance Trainer (ASMT), Ejection System
Maintenance Trainer (ESMT), OML Lab, Flexible Linear Shaped Charge
(FLSC) Trainer, F135 Engine Module Trainer, and Weapons Loading Trainer
(WLT). The F-35 Training System can be integrated, which allows both
pilots and maintainers to learn at the same Integrated Training Center
(ITC). Alternatively, pilots and maintainers can train at separate
facilities (Pilot Training Center and Maintenance Training Center).
The Sensitivity of Technology Statement contained in the original
notification applies to additional items reported here.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
