(iii) Description: On December 21, 2021, Congress was notified by
Congressional certification transmittal number 22-02, of the possible
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of three
hundred forty-one (341) Javelin FGM-148F missiles and thirty (30)
Javelin Command Launch Units (CLUs). Also included were battery

This transmittal notifies the inclusion of an additional one
thousand six hundred ninety-two (1,692) Javelin FGM-148F Missiles
(includes thirty-two (32) Fly-to-Buy Missiles); and three hundred fifty
(350) Javelin Light Weight Command Launch Units (LWCLUs) (MDE). Also
included is technical assistance in support of Javelin program
management, logistics, oversight, and successful delivery of the weapon
system. The estimated value of the new MDE items is $436.1 million, and
the estimated value of the new non-MDE items is $10 million. The
revised estimated total MDE value is $545.4 million, and the revised
total case value is $571.1 million.
(iv) Significance: The proposed sale will support Lithuania's
ability to build its long-term defense capacity to defend its
sovereignty and territorial integrity to meet its national defense
requirements. It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist
Lithuania in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense
capability.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and
[[Page 88039]]
national security of the United States by helping to improve the
security of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization Ally that is an
important force for ensuring peace and stability in Europe.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
The Javelin Weapon System is comprised of two major tactical
components, which are a reusable Light Weight Command Launch Unit
(LWCLU) and a round contained in a disposable launch tube assembly. The
Light Weight Command Launch Unit has been identified as Major Defense
Equipment (MDE). The LWCLU incorporates an integrated day-night sight
that provides a target engagement capability in adverse weather and
countermeasure environments. The LWCLU may also be used in a stand-
alone mode for battlefield surveillance and target detection. The
LWCLU's thermal sight is a 3rd generation Forward Looking Infrared
(FLIR) sensor. To facilitate initial loading and subsequent updating of
software, all on-board missile software is uploaded via the LWCLU after
mating and prior to launch.
The Sensitivity of Technology Statement contained in the original
notification applies to other items reported here.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
