Transmittal No. 24-0N
REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
(i) Purchaser: Government of Australia
(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 23-84
Date: December 1, 2023
Implementing Agency: Navy
(iii) Description: On December 1, 2023, Congress was notified by
congressional notification transmittal number 23-84, of the possible
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of
articles and services in support of the Trilateral AUKUS Pillar I
program. Included were training devices, personnel training, planning,
and Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) services; support equipment;
special tools; training software/and courseware; design; supply chain
and industrial base support; facilities and construction support;
publications and technical documentation; personnel training and
training equipment; U.S. Government and contractor engineering,
technical, and logistics support services; test and trials support;
studies and surveys; other related elements of engineering, and repair
services for associated equipment and program support; and other
related elements of logistic and program support. U.S. training of
private Australian industry personnel will occur only after explicitly
authorized by the U.S. Department of State under U.S. law. The total
estimated value was $2 billion. There was no Major Defense Equipment
(MDE) associated with this sale.
This transmittal reports the addition of the following non-MDE
items: planning analysis and proposed training requirements for
military personnel, government civilians, and non-dual national
contractors; and consultation, analysis, vendor support, design
support, and additional efforts required by the Australian Submarine
Agency (ASA) to sustain, operate, maintain, design, and build sovereign
nuclear submarines. There is no MDE being reported with this
notification, and as such the total MDE value remains $0. The total
estimated cost of the new non-MDE is $145 million; however, this will
[[Page 51676]]
not result in a net increase in the estimated total cost of non-MDE.
The total case value remains $2 billion.
(iv) Significance: The proposed articles and services will support
Australia to effectively maintain its force projection capability and
enhances interoperability with U.S. forces well into the future.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security objectives of the United States. Australia
is one of our most important allies in the Western Pacific. The
strategic location of this political and economic power contributes
significantly to ensuring peace and economic stability in the region.
It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist our ally in
developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The highest level of classification
of defense articles, components, and services included in this
potential sale is SECRET.
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: August 13, 2024
