POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Singapore – Munitions and Follow-On Training and Sustainment for PEACE CARVIN V (F-15
Training Detachment)
The Government of Singapore has requested to buy ninety (90) MXU-651 AFGs for 2000LB
Paveway II (PWII), GBU-10; ninety (90) MAU-169 or MAU-209 CCGs for 2000LB PWII,
GBU-10; one hundred forty (140) MXU-650 AFGs for 500LB PW-II, GBU-12; one hundred
forty (140) MAU-169 or MAU-209 CCGs for 500LB PWII, GBU-12; twenty (20) JDAM
KMU-556 tail kits for GBU-31; twenty-two (22) JDAM KMU-572 tail kits for Laser JDAM,
GBU-54; two hundred (200) FMU-152 fuzes; fifty (50) MK-84 2000LB GP bombs; fifty (50)
MK-82 500LB GP bombs; and six hundred twenty-five (625) Mk-82 500LB inert bombs. Also
included are DSU-38 and -40 PLGS for Laser JDAM, GBU-54; KGV-135A cryptographic
devices; impulse cartridges, chaff, and flares; training rounds and practice bombs; classified
and unclassified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified publications and
technical documentation; integration support and test equipment; aircraft and munitions support
and support equipment; telemetry kits; military exercise participation and support;
transportation, airlift, and aircraft ferry support; jet fuel; aerial refueling support; personnel
training, and training equipment and maintenance; medical and other exercise- and trainingrelated services and support; personnel clothing and equipment; facilities and construction
support; and U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, maintenance, and logistics
support services, as well as other related elements of logistical and program support. The total
estimated program cost is $630 million.
This proposed sale will support 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.
The proposed sale will enable the Singapore Air Force to continue its flight training program to
develop mission-ready and experienced pilots to safely and effectively fly its F-15 aircraft, as
part of the Peace Carvin V Detachment Training Program. 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.
This proposed sale 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. inventory,
as needed. Sources of supply may award contracts when necessary to provide the defense
articles if items are not available from U.S. inventory or are considered long lead-time away.
There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this 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.

Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1)
of the Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii)

Sensitivity of Technology:

1. 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 GP
warhead and the semi-active guidance corrects for many of the normal errors inherent in any
delivery system. Laser designation can be provided by a variety of laser target markers or
designators. A LGB consists of a non-warhead specific MAU-209 or MAU-169 CCG and a
warhead specific AFG that attaches to the nose and tail of the GP bomb body respectively.
•
The GBU-12 is a 500LB GP bomb body fitted with the MXU-650 AFG to guide to its
laser designated target.
•
The GBU-10 is a 2000LB 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 MAU169 CCG for training purposes.
2. The Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) is a guidance set which converts unguided
bombs 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
(GPS), 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. The 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 GBU-38 is a 500LB bomb body fitted with a KMU-572 guidance kit.

•

The GBU-31 is a 2000LB bomb body fitted with a KMU-556 guidance kit.

3. The Laser Joint Direct Attack Munition (LJDAM) is a JDAM that incorporates all the
capabilities of the JDAM guidance tail kit and adds a precision laser guidance set (DSU-38
or DSU-40). The LJDAM gives the weapon system an optional semi-active laser guidance in
addition to the INS/GPS guidance. This provides the optional capability to strike moving
targets. The GBU-54 is a 500LB bomb body fitted with a laser guidance set and KMU-572
guidance kit.
4. The KGV-135A is a high-speed, general purpose encryptor / decryptor module used for
wide-band data encryption.

5. The highest level of classification of defense articles, components, and services included
in this potential sale is SECRET.
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 sale
is necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives
outlined in the Policy Justification.
8. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal have been authorized for release
and export to the Government of Singapore.
