Transmittal No. 22-0K
REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
(i) Purchaser: Government of Japan
(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 19-65
Date: October 29, 2019
Implementing Agency: Air Force
(iii) Description: On October 29, 2019, Congress was notified by
Congressional certification transmittal number 19-65 of the possible
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of the
upgrade of up to ninety-eight (98) F-15J aircraft to a Japanese Super
Interceptor (JSI) configuration consisting of up to one hundred three
(103) APG-82(v)1 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radar
(includes five (5) spares); one hundred sixteen (116) Advanced Display
Core Processor II (ADCP II) Mission System Computer (includes eighteen
(18) spares); and one hundred one (101) ALQ-239 Digital Electronic
Warfare System (DEWS) (includes three (3) spares). Also included were
Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) with software, training and
support; Selective Availability Anti-spoofing Module (SAASM); ARC-210
radio, aircraft and munition integration and test support; ground
training devices (including flight and maintenance simulators); support
and test equipment; software delivery and support; spare and repair
parts; communications equipment; facilities and construction support;
publications and technical documentation; personnel training and
training equipment; U.S. Government and contractor engineering;
technical and logistics support services; studies and surveys; and
other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated
total program cost was $4.5 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE)
constituted $2.4 billion of this total.
This transmittal reports the addition of the following MDE items:
one hundred three (103) AN/ALQ-250 Eagle Passive Active Warning
Survivability System (EPAWSS) Electronic Warfare (EW) suites. The total
cost of new MDE articles is $956 million. This does not
[[Page 50315]]
increase the total net cost of MDE, which will remain $2.4 billion. The
total case value will not increase, remaining $4.5 billion.
(iv) Significance: The inclusion of this MDE represents an increase
in capability over what was previously notified. The proposed articles
and services will support Japan's defense of its airspace.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by
improving the security of a major ally that is a force for political
stability and economic progress in the Asia-Pacific region. It is vital
to the U.S. national interest to assist Japan in developing and
maintaining a strong and effective self-defense capability.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: EPAWSS is an advanced all-digital
EW suite which provides the F-15 with fully integrated radar warning,
geolocation, situational awareness, and self-protection solutions to
detect and defeat surface and airborne legacy, current, and future
threats in highly contested, dense signal environments. EPAWSS is
equipped with advanced Radio Frequency Electronic Countermeasures,
enabling deeper penetration against modern integrated air defense
systems and providing rapid response capabilities designed to protect
the aircrew.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is
UNCLASSIFIED.
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: July 26, 2022
