thousand two hundred and fifty (3,250) GBU-31V1 (KMU-556 Joint Direct

On August 25, 2022, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 20-0M of the inclusion of the
following additional MDE items and support items: eight-hundred (800)
GBU-56V1 Laser Joint Direct Attack Munitions (LJDAM) (consisting of

56V3 Laser JDAMs (consisting of two-hundred (200) KMU-557 tail kits;
two-hundred (200) DSU-42 Laser Sensors, and two-hundred (200) BLU-109
bombs; three-thousand (3,000) FMU-139 fuzes; and associated munitions
support items. The total cost of the new MDE articles was $69 million
and did not result in a net increase in the total cost of MDE. The
total case value remained $380 million.
This transmittal notifies the inclusion of the following MDE items:
up to two thousand seven hundred fifty (2,750) KMU-572 Joint Direct
Attack Munition

(JDAM) tail kits. The following non-MDE items will also be included:
cartridges, chaffs, and flares; DSU-38 laser sensors; FMU-139 fuzes;
and other related elements of logistics and program support. The
estimated total value of the new items and services is $345 million.
The estimated non-MDE value will increase by $94 million to a revised
$109 million. The estimated MDE value will increase by $251 million to
a revised $616 million. The estimated total case value will increase by
$345 million to a revised $725 million.
(iv) Significance: This notification is being provided because the
additional MDE and non-MDE items represent an increase in capability
over what was previously notified. The proposed sale increases the
United Arab Emirates' (UAE's) ability to achieve more exact targeting
over a wide range of conditions and improves interoperability with the
U.S. Air Force.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping
to improve the security of an important regional partner. The UAE
continues to be a vital U.S. partner for political stability and
economic progress in the Middle East.
(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: March 19, 2026.
