POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Ukraine--Air Delivered Munitions
The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy up to three thousand
three hundred fifty (3,350) Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM)
missiles and three thousand three hundred fifty (3,350) Embedded Global
Positioning System (GPS)/Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) (EGI) with
Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM), Y-Code, or M-Code.
The following non-MDE items will be included: missile containers;
stoker pylons; component parts and support equipment; spare parts,
consumables and accessories, and repair and return support; weapons
software and support equipment; mission planning system hardware;
classified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified
publications and technical documentation; personnel training and
training equipment; transportation support; studies and surveys; 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 $825 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a partner
country that is a force for political stability and economic progress
in Europe.
This proposed sale will improve Ukraine's capability to meet
current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-
defense and regional security missions. Ukraine will have no difficulty
absorbing these articles and services 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 Zone 5 Technologies and CoAspire.
At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement
proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement
will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the
contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Ukraine.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 25-46
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 Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) is a 500-pound class
air-launched, subsonic, precision-guided, turbojet powered,
conventional, air-to-ground munition used to defeat targets in adverse
weather from a standoff range of approximately 250 nautical miles. It
uses Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS)
guidance with a unitary warhead for maximum lethality against armored
and soft stationary targets.
2. The Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) with Selective Availability Anti-
Spoofing Module (SAASM), Y-Code, or M-Code receiver when available, and
Precise Positioning Service is a self-contained navigation system.
SAASM, Y-Code, or M-Code enables the GPS receiver access to an
encrypted P signal, providing protection against active spoofing
attacks.
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 system
effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
5. A determination has been made that Ukraine 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.
6. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of
Ukraine.
