Advanced Precision Kill Weapons Systems rockets; twelve (12) M-240D
crew served weapons; and twelve (12) GAU-21 crew served weapons. Also
included were spare engine containers, facilities study and design;
spare and repair parts; support and test equipment; communication
equipment; aerial refueling services; ferry support; publications and
technical documentation; personnel training and training equipment;
United States (U.S.) Government and contractor engineering, technical
and logistics support services; and other elements of logistical and
program support. The estimated cost was $1.90 billion. Major Defense
Equipment (MDE) constituted $1.25 billion of this total.
On September 15, 2015, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 0J-15 of the inclusion of two (2) AN/
AQS-22 Airborne Low Frequency Sonar (ALFS). The AN/AQS-22 was declared
Major Defense Equipment (MDE) in early June 2015, after transmittal
number 15-17 was notified to Congress. Prior to this determination, the
units were included in the value of the original transmittal but not
enumerated or valued as MDE. Upgrading the status of this equipment to
MDE resulted in an increase in MDE of $9 million, but the total case
value remained at $1.90 billion.

On May 24, 2019, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 0O-19 of the inclusion of ten (10)

technical support, training, and other related elements of program
support. The total MDE value was $10.9 million. The revised MDE total
value was $1.269 billion. The total value remained $1.90 billion.
This transmittal notifies inclusion of the following additional MDE
items: six hundred eighty-two (682) Advanced Precision Kill Weapons
System (APKWS) rockets; one hundred fifty-three (153) AGM-114R Hellfire
II missiles; and one (1) M240D 7.62mm machine gun. The following non-
MDE items will also be included: engineering and technical support;
training; and other related elements of program support. The estimated
total value of the new items is $71 million. This will result in a net
increase in MDE value of $71 million, and a revised total MDE value of
$1.34 billion. The estimated total case value will remain $1.90
billion.

additional MDE items were not enumerated in the original notification.
