(S) Background: In March 2009, the U.S. provided information to Danish officials regarding efforts by Farazeh Equipment Distributor Company (FEDCO) and its Singapore-based subsidiary Microsun Electronics Pte Ltd. to obtain a vibration exciter and accelerometers from Danish firm Bruel & Kjaer (REF A). FEDCO has facilitated transactions on behalf of Iran's liquid-fueled ballistic missile developer and entities affiliated with its unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) program. Although not controlled by the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR),vibration exciters can be used in a missile program to simulate the vibrations and shocks that missile components and sub-assemblies experience during flight. Since the delivery of this demarche, Denmark has not provided any information on the status of its investigation this matter (REF B). We therefore want to follow-up with Danish authorities and request an update at the earliest possible time. ¶3. (S) Action Request: Request Embassy Copenhagen follow-up with appropriate host government authorities to request an update on the GOD's investigation of this case and report response. ¶4. (U) Washington POC is ISN/MTR Mike Kennedy (Phone: 202- 647-3176). Please slug any reporting on this issue for ISN/MTR and EUR/PRA. CLINTON
