POLICY JUSTIFICATION
(U) Singapore--Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System-Alternative Warhead
(U) The Government of Singapore has requested to buy forty-five
(45) pods of M30A2 guided multiple launch rocket system-alternative.
The following non-major defense equipment items will also be included:
telemetry kits; engineering services; technical assistance; and other
related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total
cost is $83.14 million.
(U) This proposed sale will enhance the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a
strategic partner that is an important force for political stability
and economic progress in Asia.
(U) The proposed sale will improve Singapore's defensive capability
to guard against hostile aggression and shield the allies who train and
operate within their borders and improve its ability to defend its
territorial integrity and deter regional threats, thereby increasing
regional stability. Singapore will have no difficulty absorbing these
articles and services into its armed forces.
(U) The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter
the basic military balance in the region.
(U) The principal contractor(s) will be selected through
competitive procurements conducted by the U.S. Government in accordance
with the Federal Acquisition Regulation. 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.
(U) Implementation of this proposed sale will require the
assignment of two (2) additional U.S. Government and two (2) contractor
representatives to Singapore, as required, for a duration of ten (10)
days to provide engineering and technical support services as well as
program and technical reviews.
(U) There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 26-24
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. (U) The M30A2 guided multiple launch rocket system-alternative
warhead (GMLRS-AW) is a program of record for the U.S. Department of
War. The M30A2 GMLRS-AW shares a greater than 90% commonality with the
M31A1 guided multiple launch rocket system-unitary (GMLRS-U). The
primary difference between the GMLRS-U and GMLRS-AW is the replacement
of the GMLRS-U's high explosive warhead with a 200-pound fragmentation
warhead of pre-formed tungsten penetrators, which is optimized for
effectiveness against large area and imprecisely located targets. The
munitions otherwise share a common motor, global positioning system and
precise positioning service (GPS/PPS)-aided inertial guidance provided
by selective availability anti-spoofing module or M-Code, control
system, fusing mechanism, multi-option height of burst capability, and
an effective range between 15 and 70 kilometers.
2. (U) The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
3. (U) 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. (U) A determination has been made that Singapore 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. (U) All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of
Singapore.
