Transmittal No. 23-0Y
Report of Enhancement or Upgrade of Sensitivity of Technology or
Capability (Sec. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
(i) Purchaser: Government of Finland
(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 23-53
Date: August 1, 2023
Implementing Agency: Army
(iii) Description: On August 1, 2023, Congress was notified by
Congressional certification transmittal number 23-53, of the possible
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of the
M270A2 upgrade of M270A1 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS). The
upgrade includes intercom systems; radio communication mounts; machine
gun mounts; battle management system vehicle integration kit;
publications for MLRS; spares; services; support equipment; and other
related elements of program and logistics support. Major Defense
Equipment (MDE) constituted $0 of this total.
This transmittal notifies an increase in non-MDE value by $180
million, resulting in a new estimated non-MDE and overall total case
value of $575 million. There is no MDE included in this potential sale.
(iv) Significance: Recent cost increases have brought about the
need to add value to the original notification. The upgraded M270A2
MLRS will give Finland additional advanced capability to address
current and future regional threats; reinforcing its ability to
maintain regional stability, increasing Finland's security. The sale
supports United States (U.S.) national security interests by bolstering
the land defense in Europe's northern flank.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security of the U.S. by improving the security of a
North Atlantic Treaty Organization Ally that is an important force for
political stability and economic progress in Europe.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Sensitivity of Technology
statement contained in the original notification applies to items
reported here.
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: December 18, 2023
