Transmittal No. 24-0L
REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(b)(5)(C), AECA)
(i) Purchaser: Government of Canada
(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 21-17
Date: May 10, 2021
Implementing Agency: Navy
(iii) Description: On May 10, 2021, Congress was notified by
congressional certification transmittal number 21-17 of the possible
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of four
(4) Shipsets of the AEGIS Combat System (ACS); one (1) AEGIS Combat
System Computer Program; four (4) Shipsets of AN/SPY-7 Solid State
Radar Components; four (4) Shipsets of Cooperative Engagement
Capability (CEC); and three (3) Shipsets of the MK 41 Vertical Launch
System. Also included was Mode 5/S capable Identification Friend or Foe
(IFF) equipment; early ACS development activities for the Canadian
Surface Combatant (CSC) Project to include U.S. Government and
contractor representative engineering activities supporting design,
integration, testing, technical documentation, modeling, and training;
hardware to support development and testing in U.S. facilities;
software; documentation (including combat system capabilities and
limitations); training devices and services; technical support; and
other related elements of logistical and program support. The total
estimated value was $1.7 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE)
constituted $0.7 billion of this total.
On August 10, 2022, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 0L-22 of the addition of the following
MDE items: four (4) shipsets of Global Positioning System Based
Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Service (GPNTS). The estimated
total value of the MDE items was $8 million, but did not cause an
increase in the total estimated program cost. The total estimated case
value remained $1.7 billion with MDE remaining $0.7 billion of that
total.
This transmittal notifies the inclusion of the following additional
MDE items: four (4) AN/WSN-12 Inertial Navigation Systems (INS); two
(2) Tactical Tomahawk Weapon Control Systems (TTWCS); five (5)
Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio
Systems (MIDS JTRS) (4 installed, 1 test asset); four (4) MIDS On Ship
Modernized (MOS Mod); two (2) Command and Control Processors (C2P); and
four (4) AN/SLQ-32(v)6 Electronic Warfare Systems (EWS). The following
non-MDE items will also be included: Global Command and Control
Systems--Maritime (GCCS-Ms); AN/WSN-7 INS; and MK 331 Torpedo
[[Page 51699]]
Setting Panels (TSPs). The estimated total value of the new items is
$1.1 billion. The estimated value of the new MDE items is $0.2 billion,
but this will not cause an increase in the net MDE value. The estimated
value of the new non-MDE items is $0.9 billion, and will cause an
increase of the net non-MDE value to $1.9 billion. The total estimated
value will increase by $0.9 billion to $2.6 billion. MDE will remain as
$0.7 billion of that total.
(iv) Significance: This notification is being provided as the
additional MDE items were not enumerated in the original notification.
The inclusion of this MDE represents an increase in capability over
what was previously notified. The proposed articles and services will
support the Government of Canada's capability to meet current and
future threats by enhancing their incorporation of the AEGIS Combat
System into their operations.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping
to improve the military capability of Canada, a NATO Ally that is an
important force for ensuring political stability and economic progress,
and a contributor to military, peacekeeping, and humanitarian
operations around the world.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
AN/WSN-7 is the U.S. Navy's Inertial Navigation System (INS) and
part of an overall Position-Navigation-Time (PNT) solution for the
AEGIS Combat System. AN/WSN-12 is the U.S. Navy's next generation INS.
AN/WSN-7/12 measures the movement of the ship, determines position and
direction, and accepts GPS updates to compute precise movement,
position, and direction rates.
The Tactical Tomahawk Weapon Control System (TTWCS) is the U.S.
Navy's shipboard component for command and control, mission planning,
and distribution of Tomahawk tactical and strike data for the Tomahawk
missile.
Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical
Radio System (MIDS JTRS) provides secure, high capacity, jam-resistant
position determination, cooperative identification, and digital data
and voice transfer capability.
MIDS On Ship Modernized (MOS Mod) integrates a MIDS JTRS terminal
with Navy Ship Input Output (NSIO) to produce a high power (1 kW) Link-
16 radio frequency output. It is designed to operate with the Command
and Control Processor (C2P).
C2P is a shipboard system that provides real-time control and
management of Tactical Digital Information Links (TADILs) through
interfaces with the host combat system and tactical data link
terminals. TADILs include Link-16, Satellite TADIL J, Joint Range
Extension (JRE).
AN/SLQ-32(v)6 is an electronic warfare equipment suite installed on
all surface combatants, aircraft carriers, amphibious ships, and
auxiliaries in the U.S. Navy. The system provides early detection,
analysis, threat warning, and protection from anti-ship missiles.
The Global Command and Control System--Maritime (GCCS-M) provides a
single integrated and scalable command and control system. GCCS-M
fuses, correlates, filters, maintains, and displays location and
attribute information on friendly, hostile, and neutral land, sea, and
air forces, and integrates this data with available intelligence and
environmental information to support command decisions.
The MK 331 Torpedo Setting Panel (TSP) is the interface between the
ship's underwater weapon control system and MK 54 Surface Vessel
Torpedo Tubes (SVTT). It provides digital presets, updates until time
of fire, and provides remote and local preset and launch capability in
the ship's magazine.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
