POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Singapore--Follow-On Support for PEACE CARVIN V (F-15 Training 
Detachment)

    The Government of Singapore has requested to purchase forty (40) 
GBU-10 Paveway II Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) units, consisting of: MXU-
651B/B Air Foil Groups (AFG), MAU-209C/B or MAU-169L/B Computer Control 
Groups (CCG), MK-84 or BLU-117B/B bomb bodies; eighty four (84) GBU-12 
Paveway II LGB units, consisting of: MXU-650C/B AFG, MAU-209C/B or MAU-
168L/B CCGs, MK-82 or BLU-111B/B bomb bodies; and sixty (60) FMU-152 or 
FMU-139D/B fuzes. Also included are AIM-120 Telemetry Kits; target 
drones; High-Bandwidth Compact Telemetry Module kits; exercise 
participation support; weapons, Electronic Combat International 
Security Assistance Program (ECISAP), and systems support; medical 
support; vehicle and ferry support; airlift and aerial refueling; 
individual equipment; maintenance, spare and repair parts; publications 
and technical documentation; personnel training and training equipment; 
U.S. Government and contractor, logistics, and technical support 
services; and other related elements of logistical and program support. 
The estimated cost is $415 million.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to improve the 
security of a critical regional partner that has been, and continues to 
be, an important force for economic progress in Southeast Asia.
    This potential sale will continue to improve Singapore's ability to 
develop mission-ready and experienced pilots to support its F-15 
aircraft inventory. The well-established pilot proficiency training 
program at Mountain Home Air Force Base will support professional 
interaction and enhance operational interoperability with U.S. Forces. 
Singapore will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment and support 
into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    There is no prime contractor involved in this proposed sale. 
Manpower support will be determined through competition with defense 
articles anticipated to come from U.S. stocks, as needed. Sources of 
supply will award contracts when necessary to provide the defense 
articles if items are not available from U.S. stock or are considered 
long lead-time away. There are no known offset agreements proposed in 
connection with this potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the 
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor 
representatives to Singapore.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.

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. This potential sale will involve the release of sensitive 
technology to the Government of Singapore, including Paveway II (PWII) 
Laser Guided Bombs (LGB) GBU-10 and -12. The PWII LGBUs have an overall 
export classification of CONFIDENTIAL. The related subcomponents: MXU-
209 C/B or MAU-169 L/B control and guidance kits, FMU-152 or FMU-139D/B 
fuzes, MK-82 or BLU-111 B/B bomb bodies, and MK-84 or BLU-117 B/B bomb 
bodies are UNCLASSIFIED.
    2. The PWII LGB, is a maneuverable, free-fall weapon that guides to 
a spot of laser energy reflected off of the target. The LGB is 
delivered like a normal general purpose (GP) bomb 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 
Computer Control Group (CCG) that is not warhead specific and warhead 
specific Air Foil Group (AFG) that attaches to the nose and tail of a 
GP bomb body. The PWII can use either the FMU-152 or FMU-139D/B fuzes. 
Singapore currently has FMU-152 fuzes available and will be purchasing 
additional compatible fuzes to support new munitions requirements.
    a. GBU-10 is a 2,000lb (MK-84 or BLU-117 B/B) GP bomb body fitted 
with the MXU-651 AFG, and MAU-209C/B or MAU-169 L/B CCG to guide to its 
laser designated target.
    b. GBU-12 is a 500lb (MK-82 or BLU-111 B/B) GP bomb body fitted 
with the MXU-650 AFG, and MAU-209C/B or MAU-168L/B CCGs to guide to its 
laser designated target.
    3. FMU-152 fuzes are a multifunction, multiple delay fuze system 
with hardened target capabilities that provide arming and fuzing 
functions for general purpose and penetrating, unitary warheads. The 
fuze can set or reset during munitions buildup, aircraft loading, 
ground

servicing, or during flight from the cockpit. The system includes the 
fuze, closure ring, FZU-63 initiator, and power cable. The hardware is 
UNCLASSIFIED.
    4. AIM-120 Telemetry Kits Non-Development Item/Airborne Instrument 
Units (NDI/AIU) hardware are UNCLASSIFIED. The NDU/AIU includes a 
telemetry transmitter, a flight termination system, a C-band beacon and 
upper S-band capability to include antenna. The NDI/AIU will be used 
for Singapore's participation in Continental United States (CONUS) 
based exercises and shall not be released, transferred, or exported to 
Singapore. All data shall only be collected, transmitted or reviewed by 
qualified U.S. personnel.
    5. The High-Bandwidth Compact Telemetry Modules (HCTM) and 
Telemetry Cable Kits hardware are UNCLASSIFIED. HCTM are used for Joint 
Direct Attack Munition integration, developmental, or operational 
testing; and will be used for Singapore's participation in Continental 
United States (CONUS) based exercises and shall not be released, 
transferred, or exported to Singapore. All data shall only be 
collected, transmitted or reviewed by qualified U.S. personnel.
    6. 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.
    7. 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 to further the U.S. foreign policy and national security 
objectives outlined in the Policy Justification.
    8. All defense articles and services listed on this transmittal are 
authorized for release and export to the Government of Singapore.
