POLICY JUSTIFICATION
India--Javelin Missile System
The Government of India has requested to buy one hundred (100) FGM-
148 Javelin rounds; one (1) Javelin FGM-148 missile, fly-to-buy; and
twenty-five (25) Javelin Lightweight Command Launch Units (LwCLU) or
Javelin Block 1 Command Launch Units (CLU). The following non-major
defense equipment items will also be included: Javelin LwCLU or CLU
Basic Skills Trainers; missile simulation rounds; battery coolant unit;
interactive electronic technical manual; Javelin operator manuals;
lifecycle support; physical security inspection; spare parts; system
integration and check out; Security Assistance Management Directorate
(SAMD) technical assistance; Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions
(TAGM) Project Office technical assistance; tool kits; training; Block
1 CLU refurbishment services; and other related elements of logistics
and program support. The estimated total cost is $45.7 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States (U.S.) by helping to
strengthen the U.S.-Indian strategic relationship and to improve the
security of a major defense partner which continues to be an important
force for political stability, peace, and economic progress in the
Indo-Pacific and South Asia regions.
The proposed sale will improve India's capability to meet current
and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense and deter regional
threats. India 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 a RTX Corporation/Lockheed Martin
Javelin Joint Venture (JJV) of Orlando, Florida and Tucson, Arizona. 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 India.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 25-110
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 Javelin Weapon System is a medium-range, man portable,
shoulder-launched, fire and forget, anti-tank system for infantry,
scouts, and combat engineers. It may also be mounted on a variety of
platforms including vehicles, aircraft, and watercraft. The system
weighs 43.5 pounds and has a maximum range in excess of 4,500 meters.
The system is highly lethal against tanks and other systems with
conventional and reactive armors. The system possesses a secondary
capability against bunkers.
2. Javelin's key technical feature is the use of fire-and-forget
technology, which allows the gunner to fire and immediately relocate or
take cover. Additional special features are the top attack and direct
fire modes, an advanced tandem warhead and imaging infrared seeker,
target lock-on before launch, and soft launch from enclosures or
covered fighting positions. The Javelin missile also has a minimum
smoke motor thus decreasing the likelihood of its detection on the
battlefield.
3. The Javelin Weapon System is comprised of two major tactical
components, which are a reusable Light-weight Command Launch Unit
(LwCLU) or Command Launch Unit (CLU) and a round contained in a
disposable launch tube assembly. The LwCLU or CLU incorporates an
integrated day-night sight that provides a target engagement capability
in adverse weather and countermeasure environments. The LwCLU or CLU
may also be used in a stand-alone mode for battlefield surveillance and
target detection. The LwCLU's or CLU's thermal sight is a third
generation forward looking infrared sensor. To facilitate initial
loading and subsequent updating of software, all on-board missile
software is uploaded via the LwCLU or CLU after mating and prior to
launch.
4. The Block 1 CLU is the standard variant, offering proven
reliability and compatibility with the Javelin missile system. Though
the Block 1 CLU is slightly heavier and bulkier than the LwCLU, it is
suitable for dismounted operations.
5. The sensitivity is primarily in the software programs which
instruct the system how to operate in the presence of countermeasures.
The overall hardware is also considered sensitive in that the infrared
wavelengths could be useful in attempted countermeasure development.
6. If LwCLUs are unavailable, the U.S. Government will provide
Block 1 CLUs.
7. The missile is autonomously guided to the target using an
imaging infrared seeker and adaptive correlation tracking algorithms.
This allows the gunner to take cover or reload and engage another
target after firing a missile. The missile has an advanced tandem
warhead and can be used in either the top attack or direct fire modes
(for targets undercover). An onboard flight computer guides the missile
to the selected target.
8. The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
9. 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.
10. A determination has been made that India 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.
[[Page 5452]]
11. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of India.
