radio-frequency countermeasures (16 installed, 6 spares); nineteen (19)
multi-mode radars (16 installed, 3 spares); nineteen (19)
electrooptical sensor systems (16 installed, 3 spares); forty (40) M-
134D-T miniguns, plus mounts and tools (32 installed, 8 spares); and
forty (40) M240H machine guns, plus mounts and tools (32 installed, 8
spares). The following non-Major Defense Equipment (MDE) items were
also included: communications equipment; navigation equipment; aircraft
survivability equipment; initial training equipment and services;
synthetic training equipment; support package including spares and
repair parts; special tools and test equipment; aviation ground support
equipment; safety and air worthiness certification; technical support;
maintenance support; technical and aircrew publications; mission
planning system equipment and support; project management and
governance; United States (U.S.) Government and contractor engineering
and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics
and program support. The estimated total program cost was $3.5 billion.
MDE constituted $1.655 billion of this total.
On March 12, 2024, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 24-0B, under Section 36(b)(5)(C) of
the Arms Export Control Act, of the inclusion of the following MDE
items: seventeen (17) Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) Systems;
seventeen (17) Limited Missile Warning Receiver Systems (LIMWS); and
seventeen (17) Degraded Visual Environment Pilotage Systems (DVEPS).
The following non-
[[Page 5749]]
MDE item was also included: Man-Portable Night Vision Devices. The
estimated total value of these new items was $162 million, but this
addition did not cause an increase in the total case value. The
estimated total case value remained at $3.5 billion. MDE remained at
$1.655 billion of this total.
This transmittal notifies the inclusion of the following additional
MDE items: five (5) DVEPS. The estimated total value of the new items
is $3.06 million and does not result in a net increase in the total
case value. The estimated total case value remains at $3.5 billion. MDE
continues to constitute $1.655 billion of this total.
(iv) Significance: The proposed sale will enhance the United
Kingdom's capabilities to provide national defense and contribute to
NATO and coalition operations.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the
security of a key NATO Ally that is an important force for political
stability and economic progress in Europe.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
DVEPS provides overmatch by providing increased situational
awareness to the aircrew in degraded visual environment (DVE)
conditions, such as brownout, allowing special operations aviation
assets to execute missions in nearly any environmental condition. DVEPS
utilizes using three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology. DVEPS
produces imagery, 3D conformal symbology, and system alerts to aid
pilots in maintaining spatial awareness during and after transition
from visual meteorological conditions (VMC) to DVE conditions. DVEPS
includes a synthetic vision avionics backbone (SVAB), light detection
and ranging (LiDAR) system, removable storage device, infrared camera,
power distribution unit, and inertial measurement unit.
The Sensitivity of Technology Statement contained in the original
notification applies to additional items mentioned.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
