POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Denmark--Multi-Mission Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft P-8A
The Government of Denmark has requested to buy up to three (3) P-8A
Patrol Aircraft; four (4) Multifunctional Distribution System Joint
Tactical Radio Systems; four (4) Guardian Laser
[[Page 3873]]
Transmitter Assemblies for the AN/AAQ-24(V)N; four (4) system processor
replacements for AN/AAQ-24(V)N with Selective Availability Anti-
spoofing Modules (SAASMs); and eight (8) LN-251 with Embedded Global
Positioning Systems/Inertial Navigations Systems with SAASMs. The
following non-MDE items will be included: Tactical Open Mission
Software; electro-optical and infrared MX-20HD systems; NexGEN Missile
Warning Sensors for the AN/AAQ-24(V)N; AN/AAQ-2(V) acoustic systems;
AN/APY-10 radar systems; ALQ-213 early warning management systems; A/N
UPX-43 interrogators; KIV-78A cryptographic appliqu[eacute]s; A/N APX-
123A Identification Friend or Foe transmitters; AN/ARC-210 ultra-high
frequency/very high frequency radios; AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures
Dispenser System (CMDS) programmers; KY-100M communications security
(COMSEC) devices; U.S. Government and contractor engineering,
technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements
of logistics and program support. The total estimated cost is $1.8
billion.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and
national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a
NATO Ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress
in Europe.
The proposed sale will enhance Denmark's capability to meet current
and future threats by providing a credible force that is capable of
deterring adversaries and participating in NATO operations. The
proposed sale will support its goal of improving national and
territorial defense as well as interoperability with U.S. and NATO
forces. Denmark will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into
its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be The Boeing Company, located in
Arlington, VA. At this time, the U.S. Government is unaware of any
offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any
offset agreement will be defined in negotiations.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require 11 to 14 U.S.
Government and contractor representatives to travel to Denmark for a
duration of up to two years to support: aircraft fielding and
maintenance, mission systems, training, and logistics and engineering
technical assistance.
There will be no adverse impact on defense readiness as a result of
this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 25-102
Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section
36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The P-8A aircraft is a militarized version of the Boeing 737-800
Next Generation (NG) commercial aircraft. The P-8A is a long-range
antisubmarine and anti-surface warfare intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft capable of broad-area, maritime, and
littoral operations.
2. The Multifunctional Information Distribution System--Joint
Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS) is an advanced Link-16 command,
control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) system. The MIDS-JTRS
provides high-capacity, jam-resistant, digital communication links for
exchange of near real-time tactical information, including both data
and voice, among air, ground, and sea elements.
3. The Guardian Laser Transmitter Assembly (GLTA) is part of the
AN/AAQ-24(V)N Direct Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM) system. The GLTA
accepts threat handoff from the mission workstation subsystem, tracks
threats using an infrared (IR) camera, and provides high intensity
laser jamming to defend against IR missile threats.
4. The Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures System (LAIRCM)
System Processor Replacement (LSPR) analyzes the data from each Missile
Warning Sensor and automatically deploys the appropriate countermeasure
via the GLTA. The LSPR contains built-in-test circuitry.
5. The Embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) Inertial Navigation
System (INS) (EGI) LN-251 is a sensor that combines GPS and inertial
sensor inputs. The EGI/INS provides accurate location information for
navigation and targeting.
6. The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
7. 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.
8. A determination has been made that the Government of Denmark can
provide substantially the same degree of protection for the technology
being released as the U.S. Government. This sale is necessary in
furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives
as outlined in the Policy Justification.
9. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of
Denmark.
