The Operations Director outlined the need for releasability of U.S. secure communications for air platforms from Britain and France: Typhoons, MRTT Airbus refuelers, Cougars and Tornados. He specifically noted that the Saudi Air Force was aware that the Australians had been approved for U.S. secure comms on their Airbuses, and the French had told them they would either have to delay delivery or &do something else.8
9. (C) Lt Gen Faisal said the problem with the Saturn Radios on the British Typhoons was that the U.S. Have Quick-II technology was embedded in them and the U.S. said its technology was not releasable. Did the U.S. have an alternative recommendation? He made a special plea for resolution of this issue. For the MRTT Airbus refuelers, Cougar helicopters and Tornado jets, the need was for expedited release of MIDS/SY-100/SAASM communications technology.
