POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Denmark--Integrated Battle Command System with Indirect Fire Protection
Capability
The Government of Denmark has requested to buy twenty-four (24) All
Up Round Magazine (AUR-M); eight (8) Indirect Fire Protection
Capability Increment 2 launchers; two (2) Sentinel A4 radars and
Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS); two (2) IBCS Engagement
Operations Centers; two (2) IBCS Integrated Collaborative Environments;
and six (6) IBCS Integrated Fire Control Network relays. The following
non-Major Defense Equipment items will also be included: reload
vehicles; communications equipment, including, but not limited to, AN/
PSN-13A Defense Advanced Global Positioning System receivers, AN/PYQ-
10A Simple Key Loaders, AN/VRC-92F radio sets, RT-1523F receiver-
transmitters, AN/TPX-61 interrogator set, AN/TPX-57A(V)1 Identification
Friend or Foe (IFF) devices, KG-250X Inline Network Encryptors, and
KIV-77 encryptors; tools and test equipment; support equipment;
generators; publications and technical documentation; training
equipment, including the Air Defense Reconfigurable Trainer; spare and
repair parts; personnel training; Technical Assistance Field Team
support; U.S. Government and contractor technical, engineering, and
logistics support services; Systems Integration and Checkout; field
office support; and other related elements of logistics and program
support. The estimated total program cost is $3.0 billion.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a NATO
Ally that is an important force for political stability and economic
progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve Denmark's capability to meet current
and future threats and enhance its interoperability with U.S. and other
allied forces. It will also enhance Denmark's medium and long-range
ground-based air defense capability. Denmark will have no difficulty
absorbing this equipment 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 RTX Corporation, located in
Arlington, VA; Lockheed-Martin, located in Syracuse, NY; Leidos Inc.,
located in Reston, VA; and Northrop Grumman, located in Falls Church,
VA. 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 require 9-14 U.S.
Government and 12-17 contractor representatives to travel to Denmark
for up to seven years for equipment fielding, system checkout,
training, and technical and logistics support.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 25-75
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 Sentinel A4 radar has advanced sensor capabilities that
provide military advantages in integrated air and missile defense.
2. The Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) Increment 2
launcher is a mobile, ground-based weapon system designed to defeat
unmanned aircraft systems and cruise missiles.
3. The IFPC weapon system employs the AIM-9X's interceptor in an
environmentally sealed All Up Round Magazine (AUR-M). The AUR-M
consists of six (6) AIM-9X interceptors in a vertical 2x3 magazine and
eliminates the need to directly handle munitions. Each launcher can
carry 3 AUR-Ms at a time for a total of 18 interceptors loaded. The
magazine provides the structural assembly, environmental protection,
and software interface between the launcher and interceptor. Upon
delivery, the AUR-M serves as the storage, transportation, and
operational configuration that is ready to load directly onto the
launcher.
4. The Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AMD) (AIAMD)
Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) adapts existing and forthcoming
AMD sensors, weaponry, and mission command technologies into a unified
defense system. This integration facilitates a comprehensive air
picture, enhances defended areas and provides flexible deployment
options. The IBCS serves as the command-and-control solution for AIAMD
and provides net centric, plug & fight, and system of systems command,
control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance (C4ISR). The IBCS includes an Engagement Operations
Center that delivers C4ISR functions to the battalion, battery, and
platoon levels within the AMD Task Force.
5. The AN/PSN-13A Defense Advanced Global Positioning System (GPS)
Receiver (DAGR) is a small commercial NAVSTAR GPS receiver designed for
military operations. The Selective Availability/Anti Spoofing Module
(SAASM) is a security device controlling the encryption that enables
Precise Positioning Service (PPS) Y-code signals from GPS satellites
and resists adversary attempts to spoof GPS signals. The DAGR with
SAASM will provide position and location information necessary for
ground-based operation.
6. The AN/PYQ-10A Simple Key Loader (SKL) is a ruggedized, portable
hand-held device for securely receiving and storing data and
transferring it between compatible cryptographic and communications
equipment. The SKL employs type 1 encryption to protect stored key
data.
7. The AN/VRC-92F radio set is a dual long-range, vehicle-mounted
communication system that is part of the SINCGARS (Single Channel
Ground and Airborne Radio System) family. It provides secure and
reliable voice and data communication for tactical operations through
both single-channel and frequency-hopping modes to resist jamming and
interception. The system is critical for enabling command and control
in dynamic battlefield environments.
8. The RT-1523F receiver-transmitter provides secure voice and data
communication for U.S. military and allied forces and is a core
component of the SINCGARS (Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio
System) family. It supports frequency-hopping technology to resist
jamming and interception and ensure reliable communication in contested
environments. The RT-1523F is versatile and is used in manpack,
vehicle-mounted, and base station configurations, making it essential
for tactical operations and command and control.
9. The AN/TPX-61 Interrogator Set securely identifies friendly
aircraft and vehicles using advanced Mode 5 IFF technology. It provides
encrypted, reliable authentication to prevent
[[Page 5734]]
spoofing and ensure accurate identification in complex operational
environments. The system is essential for enhancing situational
awareness, reducing the risk of friendly fire, and supporting joint and
allied operations.
10. The AN/TPX-57A(V)1 IFF system securely identifies friendly
aircraft and vehicles in contested environments. It uses advanced Mode
5 encryption and ensures secure and reliable authentication to prevent
spoofing or misidentification. The system is critical for reducing the
risk of friendly fire and enhancing situational awareness in joint
operations.
11. The KG-250X Inline Network Encryptor ensures secure, high-speed
encryption for critical data transmitted over networks, including voice
and video. The KG-250X features advanced anti-tamper protections,
secure key management, and interoperability with other secure systems.
12. The KIV-77 Encryptor secures Mode 4/5 IFF systems. It provides
advanced encryption to authenticate friendly aircraft and vehicles,
ensuring secure and reliable identification while preventing spoofing
or unauthorized access. The KIV-77 is critical for enhancing
situational awareness, reduces the risk of friendly fire, and supports
joint and allied operations.
13. The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
14. 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.
15. A determination has been made that Denmark 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.
16. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of
Denmark.
