AEGIS Weapon Systems (AWS); two (2) Multi-Mission Signal Processors
(MMSP); and two (2) Command and Control Processor (C2P) Refreshes. Also
included were radio navigation equipment; naval ordnance; two (2)
Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Systems; Global Command and Control
System-Maritime (GCCS-M) hardware; and two (2) Inertial Navigation
Systems (INS); United States (U.S.) Government and contractor
representatives' technical, engineering and logistics support services;

equipment and associated spares; classified and unclassified
publications and software; and other related elements of logistical and
program support. The total estimated program cost was $2.150 billion.
Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $.375 billion of this total.
On September 12, 2019, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 0Q-19 of an increase in capability
from the Navigation Sensor System Interface (non-MDE) originally
notified to the Global Positioning System (GPS)-based Positioning,
Navigation, and Timing Service (GPNTS) capability, which is MDE. The
total value of the GPNTS was $3,417,596, but the total estimated MDE
cost and the total case program value remained the same at $.375
billion and $2.150 billion, respectively.
On December 14, 2023, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 23-0V of the following MDE items: two
(2) AEGIS Weapon Systems; two (2) AN/SPQ-9B Radar Systems; two (2) AN/
SLQ-32(V)6 Electronic Warfare Systems; two (2) AN/USQ-140
Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) on Ship (MOS),
Modernization (MOS MOD); two (2) AN/USQ-190 Multifunctional Information
Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio Systems (V5); three (3)
Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), AN/USG-10s; and one (1) AN/
UYQ-120(V) Command and Control Processor (C2P) Technology Refresh

and other related elements of logistics and program support. The
estimated total value of the new items was $0.570 billion. The net MDE
value increased by $0.239 billion and the non-MDE value by $0.331
billion. The revised estimated total case value increased to $2.72
billion. MDE constituted $0.614 billion of this total.
This transmittal notifies the addition of the following non-MDE
items: medium range ballistic missile live fire test targets; short
