Transmittal No. RSAT 25-0I
REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
(i) Prospective Purchaser: Government of United Arab Emirates
(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 19-37
[[Page 19115]]
Date: May 3, 2019
Implementing Agency: Army
Funding Source: National Funds
(iii) Description: On May 3, 2019, Congress was notified by
congressional certification transmittal number 19-37 of the possible
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act of up to
four hundred fifty-two (452) PATRIOT Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3)
Missiles Segment Enhancement (MSE). Also included were tools and test
equipment; support equipment; publications and technical documentation;
personnel training and training equipment; spare and repair parts;
facility design; U.S. Government and contractor technical, engineering,
and logistics support services; and other related elements of
logistics, sustainment, and program support. The estimated total value
was $2.728 billion, which included $0.028 billion for non-Major Defense
Equipment (MDE) items. MDE constituted $2.7 billion of this total.
On September 28, 2021, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 21-0C of the inclusion of an
additional five hundred ten (510) Patriot Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3)
Missiles Segment Enhanced (MSE) (included 10 fly-to-buy missiles). The
following non-MDE items were also included: tools and test equipment,
support equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel
training and training equipment, spare and repair parts, facility
design, U.S. Government and contractor technical, engineering, and
logistics support services, and other related elements of logistics,
sustainment and program support. The estimated total value of the new
items was $3.172 billion. This value included $2.728 billion in MDE
value and $0.444 billion in non-MDE value that was added to the
previously notified estimated total value of $2.728 billion. The
revised estimated total value was $5.90 billion. MDE constituted $5.428
billion of this total.
This transmittal notifies an increase in value due to recent cost
increases. There are no additional MDE or non-MDE items being reported
with this notification. The previously notified estimated non-MDE value
of $444 million will increase by $28 million to a revised $472 million.
The estimated MDE value will increase by $5.532 billion to a revised
$10.96 billion. The estimated total value will increase by $5.56
billion to a revised $11.46 billion.
(iv) Significance: Recent cost increases have brought about the
need to add value to the previous notification. The proposed sale will
support the United Arab Emirates' ability to maintain a reserve stock
of PAC-3 MSE missiles to ensure adequate capability to defend itself
from regional threats.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve
the security of an important ally which has been, and continues to be,
a force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle
East. This sale is consistent with U.S. initiatives to provide key
allies in the region with modern systems that will enhance
interoperability with U.S. forces and increase security.
(vi) Date Report Delivered to Congress: March 19, 2026
