REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
(i) Prospective Purchaser: Government of Kuwait
(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 23-42
Date: September 20, 2023
Implementing Agency: Army
Funding Source: National Funds
(iii) Description: On September 20, 2023, Congress was notified by
congressional certification transmittal number 23-42 of the possible
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of the
replacement of expiring limited life components and certifications
testing in order to support an operational life of thirty (30) years
for Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) missiles. Included in this
potential sale were: test and repair of PAC-3 missiles; stockpile
reliability testing and field returns; repair and return of classified
and unclassified PAC-3 missile items and ground support equipment (GSE)
component level parts; replenishment of classified and unclassified
missile spares, GSE spares, and seeker spares; tools to improve the
turnaround time of the repair and recertification efforts; air
transportation services for missile processing; United States (U.S.)
Government and contractor technical and logistics support; training
devices; organizational equipment; support equipment; test equipment;
technical data and publications; personnel training and training
equipment; and other related elements of logistics and program support.
The estimated total cost was $150 million. There was no Major Defense
Equipment (MDE) associated with this sale.
This transmittal notifies an increase in non-MDE value by $100
million, due to recent cost increases. There are no additional MDE or
non-MDE items being reported with this notification. The estimated non-
MDE and total case values will increase by $100 million to a revised
$250 million.
(iv) Significance: Recent cost increases have brought about the
need to add value to the original notification. The proposed value
increase will improve Kuwait's capability to meet current and future
threats.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy goals 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 Middle East.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: None
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: July 17, 2025
