POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) in the 
United States--AN/SLQ-32(V)3 Upgrade

    TECRO has requested a possible sale to upgrade the AN/SLQ-32(V)3 
Electronic Warfare Systems in support of four (4) ex-KIDD Class (now 
KEELUNG Class) destroyers. This sale will include AN/SLQ-32(V)3 upgrade 
hardware, software, support equipment and parts, publications, 
training, engineering and technical assistance. The total estimated 
program cost is $80 million.
    This proposed sale is consistent with United States law and policy, 
as expressed in Public Law 96-8.
    This proposed sale serves U.S. national, economic and security 
interests by supporting the recipient's continuing efforts to modernize 
its armed forces and enhance its defensive capabilities. The proposed 
sale will help improve the security of the recipient and assist in 
maintaining political stability, military balance and economic progress 
in the region.
    The proposed sale will improve the recipient's capability in 
current and future defensive efforts. The recipient will use the 
enhanced capability as a deterrent to regional threats and to 
strengthen homeland defense. The proposed sale will improve operational 
readiness and enhance the electronic warfare capability onboard the ex-
KIDD Class destroyers. The recipient will have no difficulty in 
absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale will not alter the basic military balance in the 
region.
    The prime contractor will be Raytheon Missiles Systems Company of 
Tucson, Arizona. There are no known offset agreements proposed in 
connection with this potential sale.
    It is estimated that during implementation of this proposed sale, a 
number of U.S. Government and contractor representatives will be 
assigned to the recipient or travel there intermittently during the 
program.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.

Item No vii
    (vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
    1. The AN/SLQ-32(V)3 is an electronic warfare system providing 
shipboard identification and cataloguing of the electronic signature of 
missiles and aircraft. The system consists of sensors and computers 
which process electronic signals within parameters established in a 
threat library. The customer currently has an earlier version of this 
equipment in inventory.
    a. The AN/SLQ-32(V)3 upgrade consists of hardware, technical 
documentation, and software. The highest classification of the hardware 
to be exported is SECRET. The highest classification of software to be 
exported is SECRET.
    2. If a technologically advanced adversary were to obtain knowledge 
of the specific hardware and software elements, the information could 
be used to develop countermeasures which might reduce weapon system 
effectiveness or be used in development of a system with similar or 
advanced capabilities.
    3. A determination has been made that the recipient country 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 in the Policy justification.
    4. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal 
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of Taipei 
Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) in the United 
States.
