"ALQ-21 l(V)9 Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare Suite (AIDEWS)
without Digital Radio Frequency Memory"
From the Wikileaks Leak:
"We recommend the U.S. Government offer Pakistan assurances that the United States is committed to this sale, while
reassuring the Air Chief that a number of the restrictions are not unique to Pakistan."
Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM)
-------------------------------------
16. (S)
Pakistan was previously cleared for separate elements
of DRFM; now they need approval for the whole package. USAF
supports immediate release, but the Defense Technology
Security Administration appears to have concerns. SAF/IA is
meeting this week with DTSA to review the issue.
17. (C) Recommendation: This decision process needs to be
accelerated.
18. (C) The National Disclosure Policy Committee will return
to Pakistan in December to perform a security survey to
confirm adequate Pakistani protection of U.S. classified
information. Tanvir is eager to participate in this survey
and is working to meet the security restrictions as stated in
the LOA. We should make it clear to Tanvir that we can speed
up the approval process of Link-16 and DRFM with enhanced
cooperation on this survey.
19. (C)
We suggest Washington agencies address these issues
as a package with Tanvir. Of particular concern to the
Pakistanis is the completion of the mid-life upgrades in a
third country. This can be resolved by U.S. engagement that
reduces Pakistan's costs and involves Pakistani technicians
in the third-country effort.
======================
Pakistan needs to make an EW Version of the JF-17, and have it carry pods and fuel tanks to get around the expected limitations of our current F-16 Fleet and any future F-16s to be acquired.
Alternatively, in order to keep up with the F-16s in terms of range, this would be where getting at least 18 J-10C (to be made into EW Platforms) would be the best option, rather than burden down the JF-17 and expect it to also carry fuel tanks. It would send a signal that Pakistan will look else where if need be, so don't think you can keep dragging out sales to Pakistan.
As far as actually having the DRFM: ACM Tanvir is the man to ask.
