     Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) is a selfcontained navigation 
     system that provides the following: acceleration, velocity, 
     position, attitude, platform azimuth, magnetic and true 
     heading, altitude, body angular rates, time tags, and 
     coordinated universal time (UTC) synchronized time. SAASM 
     enables the GPS receiver access to the encrypted P(Y) signal 
     providing protection against active spoofing attacks.
       7. The AN/ALQ-254 Viper Shield or equivalent Integrated 
     Electronic Warfare (EW) Suite provides passive radar warning, 
     wide spectrum Radio Frequency (RF) jamming, and control and 
     management of the entire EW system. This system is 
     anticipated to be internal to the aircraft although mounted 
     pod variants are used in certain circumstances.
       8. The AN/AAQ-33 Sniper Advanced Targeting Pods (ATP) is a 
     single, lightweight targeting pod for military aircraft that 
     provides positive target identification, autonomous tracking, 
     Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinate generation, and 
     precise weapons guidance from extended standoff ranges. It 
     incorporates a high definition mid-wave forward-looking 
     infrared (FLIR), dual-mode laser, visible-light high 
     definition television (HDTV), laser spot tracker, video data

     communications, and intelligence (C3I) system incorporating 
     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. It 
     provides the warfighter key theater functions such as 
     surveillance, identification, air control, weapons engagement 
     coordination, and direction for all services and allied 
     forces. With modernized cryptography, Link-16 will ensure 
     interoperability into the future.
       10. AN/ARC-238 radio with HAVE QUICK II is a voice 
     communications radio system that is equipped with HAVE QUICK 
     II, which employs cryptographic technology. Other waveforms 
     may be included as needed.

       11. The AN/APX-126 or equivalent Advanced Identification 
     Friend or Foe (AIFF) Combined Interrogator Transponder (CIT) 
     is a system capable of transmitting and interrogating Mode 5. 
     Mode 4 and Mode 5 anti-jam performance specifications/data, 
     software source code, algorithms, and tempest plans or 
     reports will not be offered, released discussed, or 
     demonstrated.
       12. The Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System II (JHMCS II) or 
     Scorpion Hybrid Optical-based Inertial Tracker (HObIT) is a 
     device used in aircraft to project information to the pilot's 
     eyes and aids in tasks such as cueing weapons and aircraft 
     sensors to air and ground targets. This system projects 
     visual targeting and aircraft performance information on the 
     back of the helmet's visor, enabling the pilot to monitor 
     this information without interrupting his/her field ofview 
     through the cockpit canopy. This provides improvement for 
     close combat targeting and engagement.
       13. The AN/ALE-47 Countermeasure Dispenser Set (CMOS) 
     provides an integrated threat adaptive, computer controlled 
     capability for dispensing chaff, flares, and active radio 
     frequency expendables. The system is internally mounted and 
     may be operated as a stand-alone system or may be integrated 
     with other on-board Electronic Warfare (EW) and avionics 
     systems. The AN/ALE-47 uses threat data received over the 
     aircraft interfaces to assess the threat situation and 
     determine a response. Expendable routines tailored to the 
     immediate aircraft and threat environment may be dispensed 
     using one of our operational modes.
       14. The KY-58M is a lightweight terminal for secure voice 
     and data communications. The KY-58M provides wideband/
     narrowband half duplex communication.
       15. The KIV-78 is a crypto applique for IFF. It can be 
     loaded with Mode 5 classified elements.
       16. The Simple Key Loader (SKL) is a ruggedized, portable, 
     hand-held device, for securely receiving, storing, and 
     transferring data between compatible cryptographic and 
     communications equipment.
       17. Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) is a multi-
     platform PC-based mission planning system.
       18. The LAU-129 Guided Missile Launcher is capable of 
     launching a single AIM-9 (Sidewinder) family of missiles or 
     AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM). 
     The LAU-129 launcher provides mechanical and electrical 
     interface between missile and aircraft.
       19. The M61Al Vulcan Cannon is a six-barreled automatic 
     cannon chambered in 20l20mm with a cyclic rate offire from 
     2,500-6,000 shots per minute. This weapon is a hydraulically 
     powered air cooled Gatling gun used to damage/destroy aerial 
     targets, suppress/incapacitate personnel targets and damage 
     or destroy moving and stationary light material targets.
       20. The Joint Programmable Fuze FMU-152 or FMU-139 fuzes 
     are multi-delay sensors compatible with weapon guidance kits, 
     tail kits, high-explosive bombs, and reduced collateral 
     damage weapons which provide all arming and detonation event 
     functions combined in a single fuze system.
       21. The Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) is a guidance 
     set that converts existing unguided bomb into an accurate, 
     adverse weather ``smart'' munition. The Guidance Set consists 
     of a Tail Kit, which contains the Inertial Navigation System 
     (INS) and a Global Positioning System (OPS), a set of 
     Aerosurfaces and an umbilical cover, which allows the JDAM to 
     improve the accuracy of unguided, General Purpose bombs. The 
     JDAM weapon can be delivered from modest standoff ranges at 
     high or low altitudes against a variety of land and surface 
     targets during the day or night. JDAM is capable of receiving 
     target coordinates via preplanned mission data from the 
     delivery aircraft, by onboard aircraft sensors (i.e., FLIR, 
     Radar, etc.) during captive carry, or from a third-party 
     source via manual or automated aircrew cockpit entry. The 
     Guidance Set, when combined with a warhead and appropriate 
     fuze, forms a JDAM Guided Bomb Unit (GBU).
     The KMU-556 is the tail kit for a GBU-31, 2,000 pound JDAM.
       22. Laser JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munitions) (GBU-54) 
     converts existing unguided free-fall bombs into precision 
     guided smart munitions by adding a new tail section 
     containing Inertial Navigation System (INS) guidance/Global 
     Positioning System (GPS) guidance and adds a semi-active 
     laser seeker. This allows the weapon to strike targets moving 
     at up to 70 mph. The LJDAM weapon consists of a DSU-38 
     sensor, a JDAM guidance set installed on bomb body and a 
     fuze. The DSU-38 consists of a laser spot tracker (same size 
     and shape as a DSU-33 proximity fuze), a cable connecting the 
     DSU-38 to the basic JDAM guidance set, a cable cover, cable 
     cover tie down straps, modified tail kit door and wiring 
     harness, and associated modified JDAM software that 
     incorporates navigation and guidance flight software to 
     support both LJDAM and standard JDAM missions.

    The KMU-572 is the tail kit for a GBU-54, 500 pound Laser JDAM.

       23. The Paveway II (PWII) is a maneuverable, free-fall 
     Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) that guides to a spot of laser energy 
     reflected off the target. The LGB is delivered like a normal 
     general purpose (GP) warhead and the semi-active guidance 
     corrects for many of the normal errors inherent in any 
     delivery system. Laser designation for the LGB can be 
     provided by a variety of laser target markers or designators. 
     An LGB consists of a MAU-209 or MAU-169 Computer Control 
     Group (CCG), that is not warhead specific, and a warhead 
     specific Air Foil Group (AFG) that attaches to the nose and 
     tail of the GP bomb body.
     The GBU-10 is a 2,000 lb GP bomb body fitted with the MXU-651 
         AFG to guide to its laser designated target. The inert 
         GBU-12 uses a BDU-50 inert bomb body and MAU-169 CCG 
         trainer for training purposes.
       24. The Enhanced Paveway II (EP II) Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) 
     is a maneuverable, all-weather, free-fall weapon that guides 
     to a spot of laser energy reflected off the target. The 
     ``enhanced'' component is the addition of GPS-aided Inertial 
     Navigation Systems (GAINS) guidance to the laser seeker. 
     Laser designation for the LGB can be provided by a variety of 
     laser target markers or designators. The EP II consists of an 
     MAU-210 Enhanced Computer Control Group (ECCG) that is not 
     warhead specific and a warhead-specific Air Foil Group (AFG) 
     that attaches to the nose and tail of a GP bomb body.

The EGBU-49 is a 500 pound GP bomb body fitted with the MXU-650 AFG to 
                 guide to its laser-designated target.

       25. The Mk-84 General Purpose (GP) bomb body is a 2,000 
     pound, free-fall, unguided, lowdrag weapon.
       26. The Mk-82 GP bomb body is a 500 pound, free-fall, 
     unguided, low-drag weapon.
       27. Mk-82 inert GP bomb body is a 500 pound, free-fall, 
     unguided, low-drag weapon without the explosive fill.
       28. The highest level of classification of defense 
     articles, components, and services included in this potential 
     sale is SECRET.
       29. 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 weapon system effectiveness or be used in the 
     development of a system with similar or advanced 
     capabilities.
       30. 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 sale 
     is necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and 
     national security objectives outlined in the Policy 
     Justification.
       31. All defense articles and services listed in this 
     transmittal have been authorized for release and export to 
     the Government of Jordan.
