POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Jordan--Ku band multi-function radio frequency system radars
The Government of Jordan has requested to buy Ku band multi-
function radio frequency system (KuMRFS) radars and command and control
system; generators; global positioning system receivers; spare and
repair parts; special tools and test equipment; technical manuals and
publications; training devices; new equipment training; U.S. Government
and contractor technical, engineering, and logistics personnel
services; concurrent spare parts, systems integration, and checkout
support; field service representative support; contractor logistics
support; program management reviews; and other related
[[Page 20140]]
elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is
$280 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the
security of a Major Non-NATO Ally that is an important force for
political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve Jordan's capability to meet current
and future threats by sustaining a credible force that can deter
adversaries and participate in CENTCOM operations. Jordan will have no
difficulty absorbing these articles into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be RTX Missile Defense Technologies,
located in Tucson, AZ. 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 the temporary
assignment of thirteen U.S. Government and twenty-four contractor
representatives to Jordan for a duration of up to five years to support
fielding, training, and sustainment activities.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 26-23
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 Ku band multi-function radio frequency system (KuMRFS) is a
multi-function radar. The radar is capable of providing simultaneous
counter-unmanned aircraft systems and counter-rocket, artillery, and
mortar air surveillance, and effector support missions. The system
leverages M-code global positioning system technology ensuring secure
and precise navigation and timing. KuMRFS radar provides three-
dimensional target location data enhancing situational awareness for
command-and-control systems.
2. The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
3. 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.
4. A determination has been made that Jordan 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.
5. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of
Jordan.
