logistics and program support. The total estimated program cost was
$1.77 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $1.10 billion
of this total.
On April 1, 2022, Congress was notified by Congressional
certification transmittal number 0D-22 of the
[[Page 84555]]
inclusion of the following Major Defense Equipment (MDE) items: eight
(8) LAIRCM System Processor Replacements (LSPR) (each included 8 Exelis
EGR Global Positioning System (GPS) Receivers integrated with Selective
Availability Anti-Spoofing Modules (SAASM); and seven (7) Guardian
Laser Transmitter Assemblies (GLTA)). The following non-MDE items were
also included: AN/ARC 210 RT-2036(C) radios; Control Interface Unit
(CIU) for the AN/AAQ 24(V)N; dual KIV-7Ms; CCM-700A cryptographic
modules; KG-175 Encryptor Network Convergence Systems; Advanced Digital
Antenna Production (ADAP) Antenna Electronics (AE); and Advanced
Digital Antenna Production (ADAP) Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna
(CRPA) antennas. The total value of these new items was $13.5 million
but did not cause an increase in the total estimated program cost, as
pricing was factored in the initial notification. The total estimated
program cost remained $1.77 billion, with the total MDE cost remaining
$1.10 billion of total program cost.
This transmittal reports the addition of the following MDE items:
three (3) P-8A Patrol Aircraft; six (6) Multifunctional Information
Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio Systems 5 (MIDS JTRS 5); seven
(7) LN-251 with Embedded Global Positioning Systems (GPS)/Inertial
Navigation Systems (EGIs); five (5) Large Aircraft Infrared
Countermeasures (LAIRCM) System Processor Replacements (each includes
five (5)) Exelis EGR Global Positioning System (GPS) Receivers
integrated with Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Modules (SAASM);
and four (4) Guardian Laser Transmitter Assemblies (GLTA). The
following non-MDE items will also be included: aircraft spare parts;
spare engines; support equipment; operational support systems;
training; training devices; software; engineering technical assistance
(ETA); logistics technical assistance (LTA); RoR; transportation;
aircraft ferry; and other related elements of engineering, logistics,
and program management support. The addition of these items will result
in a net increase in MDE cost of $800 million, resulting in a revised
MDE cost of $1.9 billion. The total estimated case value will increase
to $3.2 billion.
(iv) Significance: This notification is being provided as the
additional MDE items were not enumerated in the original notifications.
The proposed articles and services will support Germany's capability to
meet current and future threats by providing critical capabilities to
coalition maritime operations and will increase interoperability
between the United States and Germany.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security of the United States by improving the
security of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Ally which is
an important force for political and economic stability in Europe.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Sensitivity of Technology
Statement contained in the original notification applies to the items
reported here.
