(i) Purchaser: Government of Egypt
(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 19-74
Date: May 7, 2020
Implementing Agency: Army
Funding Source: National Funds
(iii) Description: On May 7, 2020, Congress was notified by
Congressional certification transmittal number 19-74, of the possible
sale under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of
equipment to refurbish forty-three (43) AH-64E Apache attack
helicopters. This included: eighty-eight (88) T700-GE-701D engines (86
remanufactured, 2 spares); forty-seven (47) AN/ASQ-170 Modernized
Target Acquisition and Designation Sight/AN/AAR-11 Modernized Pilot
Night Vision Sensors (MTADS/PNVS) (43 remanufactured, 2 new, 2 spares);
forty-five (45) AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS) (43 new, 2
spares); and ninety-two (92) Embedded Global Positioning System/
Inertial Navigation Systems (EGI) (86 new, 6 spares). Also included
were AN/AVR-2B Laser Detecting Sets, AN/APX-119 transponders, Identify
[[Page 23043]]
Friend or Foe (IFF), AN/APN-209 radar altimeters, AN/ARN-149 Automatic
Direction Finders, UHF/VHF radio, tactical AN/ARC-201E radio, APR-39
Radar Warning Sets, Improved Data Modems IDM-401, Enhanced Image
Intensifiers EI2, Hellfire launchers M299, 2.75 inch 19 tube rocket
launchers, M230 automatic guns, M230 spare gun barrels, MT06
initiators, cartridge actuated JAU-59, training devices, helmets,
simulators, generators, transportation, wheeled vehicles and
organization equipment, spare and repair parts, support equipment,
tools and test equipment, technical data and publications, personnel
training and training equipment, U.S. government and contractor
engineering, technical, and logistics support services, and other
related elements of logistics support. The total estimated program cost
was $2.3 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $2.0
billion of this total.
This transmittal notifies inclusion of the following MDE items:
ninety-five (95) AN/ARC-231A (RT-1987) radios (not enumerated in the
original notification); an additional ten (10) T700-GE-701D engines;
and one (1) AN/ASQ-170 Modernized Target Acquisition and Designation
Sight/AN/AAR-11 Modernized Pilot Night Vision Sensor (MTADS/PNVS). Also
included are AN/APX-123A Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) transponders;
KIV-77 Crypto Appliques; AN/PYQ-10 (C) Simple Key Loaders (SKL); and
the Automated Communication Engineering Software (ACES) package. The
estimated total value of the added items is $150 million. The estimated
total MDE value will increase by $150 million to a revised $2.15
billion. The estimated total non-MDE value will decrease by $150
million. The total estimated case value will remain $2.3 billion.
(iv) Significance: This notification is being provided as the
additional items replace obsolete items which had not been included in
the original notification, and because the aircraft that had been
programmed to undergo remanufacture as part of this refurbishment
received additional recent damage that required additional parts and
support. The proposed articles and services will support Egypt's
ongoing effort to modernize its armed forces and increase its capacity
to detect threats and control its borders, contributing to the
maintenance of regional stability and security. This will contribute to
the Egyptian military's effort to update their capabilities and enhance
interoperability with the United States and other strategic allies.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping
to improve the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally that continues to be
an important force for political stability and economic progress in the
Middle East.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
The AN/ARC-231A (RT-1987) radio is a multi-mode software defined
radio providing line of sight very high frequency (VHF)/ultra high
frequency (UHF) secure and non-secure voice and data communications
over the 30.000-941.000 MHz frequency range and Satellite
Communications (SATCOM) beyond line of sight secure and non-secure
voice and data, including Demand Assigned Multiple ACCESS (DAMA)
communications over the 240-320 MHz frequency range on manned and
unmanned aviation platforms. ARC-231A includes improved type-1
cryptographic algorithm and processing capabilities, Civil Land Mobile
Radio, Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radios System (SINCGARS)
capabilities, HAVE QUICK (HQ), Second Generation Anti-Jam Tactical UHF
Radio for NATO (SATURN) wave form, 8.33 kHz channel spacing for Global
Air-Traffic Management (GATM) compliance, and capability for Mobile
User Objective System (MUOS) waveform through possible future hardware
and software updates.
The AN/APX-123A Transponder is an IFF digital transponder set that
provides pertinent platform information in response to an IFF
interrogator. It provides this cooperative capability using full
diversity selection, as well as Mode Select capability.
The KIV-77 is a Common Crypto Applique for IFF that provides Mode
4/5 capability.
The AN/PYQ-10 (C) Simple Key Loader (SKL) is a ruggedized,
portable, hand-held fill device used for securely receiving, storing,
and transferring electronic key material and data between compatible
end cryptographic units (ECU) and communications equipment. It supports
both the DS-101 and DS-102 interfaces, as well as the Crypto Ignition
Key, and is compatible with existing ECUs.
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.
