Transmittal No. 25-1E
REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
(i) Prospective Purchaser: Republic of Korea
(ii) Sec. 36(B)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 21-31
Date: March 19, 2021
Implementing Agency: Army
(iii) Description: On March 19, 2021, Congress was notified by
congressional certification transmittal number 21-31 of the possible
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of two
hundred eighty-eight (288) AGM-114R Hellfire missiles. Also included
were AGM-114R spare parts; United States (U.S.) Government and
contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services;
repair and return; storage; and other related elements of logistics and
program support. The estimated total value was $36 million. Major
Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $33 million of this total.
On October 1, 2021, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 0P-21, under Section 36(b)(5)(A) of
the Arms Export Control Act, of an increase in value of the AGM-114R
Hellfire missiles. The estimated total increase in MDE value was $9
million. This resulted in a total cost of MDE value of $42 million. The
total case value increased to $47 million.
This transmittal notifies the inclusion of the following additional
MDE items: up to one thousand and twenty-two (1,022) AGM-114R Hellfire
missiles. The following non-MDE is also included: spare parts; U.S.
Government and contractor technical, engineering, and logistics support
services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.
The estimated total value of the new items is $400 million. The
estimated non-MDE value will increase by $50 million to a revised $55
million. The revised estimated total case value will be $447 million.
MDE will constitute $392 million of this 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 sale will improve the
Republic of Korea's air and missile defense capability and ensure
[[Page 3456]]
greater interoperability with other Hellfire missile users in the
region.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the
security of a major non-NATO ally that is a force for political
stability and economic progress in the Pacific region.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
The Sensitivity of Technology Statement contained in the original
notification applies to items reported here.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: September 9, 2025
