Transmittal No. 22-0V
REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
(i) Purchaser: Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office
in the United States (TECRO)
(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 09-75
Date: January 29, 2010
Military Department: Army
Funding Source: National Funds
(iii) Description: On January 29, 2010, Congress was notified by
Congressional certification transmittal number 09-75, of the possible
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of 114
PATRIOT Advanced Capability (PAC-3) missiles, 3 AN/MPQ-65 Radar Sets, 1
AN/MSQ-133 Information and Coordination Centrals, 1 Tactical Command
Station, 3 Communication Relay Groups, 3 AN/MSQ-132 Engagement Control
Stations, 26 M902 Launching Stations, 5 Antenna Mast Groups, 1
Electronic Power Plant III (EPP), battery and battalion maintenance
equipment, prime movers, generators, electrical power units, personnel
training and equipment, trailers, communication equipment, tool and
test sets, spare and repair parts, publications and technical
documentation, Quality Assurance Team support services, U.S. Government
and contractor engineering and logistics support service and other
related elements of logistics support. The estimated total cost was
$2.81 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $1.57 billion
of this total.
This transmittal notifies the inclusion of the following MDE items:
one hundred (100) PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) missiles; and
two (2) PAC-3 MSE test missiles. Also included are M903 Launcher
modification kits; missile round trainers; and Post Deployment Build
(PDB) 8.1 software upgrade. The estimated total value of these
additional items is $882 million. These additions will not result in an
increase to the total estimated MDE value of $1.57 billion. The total
estimated case value will remain $2.81 billion.
(iv) Significance: The proposed sale will enhance the recipient's
PATRIOT missile system to improve its missile defense capability,
defend its territorial integrity, and deter threats for regional
stability.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale serves U.S. national,
economic, and security interests by supporting the recipient's
continuing efforts to modernize its armed forces and to maintain a
credible defensive capability. The proposed sale will help improve the
security of the recipient and assist in maintaining political
stability, military balance, and economic progress in the region.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
The PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhanced missile is a small, highly
agile, kinetic kill interceptor for defense against tactical ballistic
missiles, cruise missiles and air-breathing threats. The MSE variant of
the PAC-3 missile represents the next generation in hit-to-kill
interceptors and provides expanded battlespace against evolving
threats. The PAC-3 MSE improves upon the original PAC-3 capability with
a higher performance solid rocket motor, modified lethality enhancer,
more responsible control surfaces, upgraded guidance software, and
insensitive munitions improvements.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: December 1, 2022
