On September 27, 2022, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 22-0I of the possible sale, under
Section 36(b)(5)(C) of the Arms Export Control Act, of MDE items that
were previously reported as non-MDE items: fifty-four (54) AN/ARC-231A
(RT-1987) radios. The following non-MDE items were also included: M261
2.75-inch Rocket launchers; and AN/AVS-6 Aviator Night Vision Devices
(NVDs). The estimated total value of these items was $39 million. The
total MDE value was increased by $27 million to a total MDE value of
$2.027 billion. The estimated total non-MDE value was decreased by $15
million (after deducting MDE values previously notified as non-MDE and
adding new non-MDE costs), resulting in a total non-MDE value of $1.985
billion. The total estimated case value was increased to $4.012
billion. MDE constituted $2.027 billion of this total.
This transmittal notifies an adjustment to the following previously
reported MDE item: the remanufactured Embedded Global Position Systems
with Inertial Navigation (EGI) with Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR) are being
replaced with thirty-six (36) EGIs with MMR from new procurement. This
transmittal also notifies an adjustment to the following previously
reported non-MDE item: the remanufactured Longbow Crew Trainer (LCT) is
being replaced with a LCT from new procurement. The estimated total
value of the new items is $49.43 million. The estimated MDE value will
increase by $12.4 million to a revised $2.04 billion. The estimated
non-MDE value will increase by $37.03 million to a revised $2.02
billion. The estimated total case value will increase by $49.43 million
to a revised $4.06 billion.
(iv) Significance: The inclusion of this MDE represents an increase
in capability over what was previously notified.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security objectives of a major non-NATO ally that
has been an important force for political stability and economic
progress in the Middle East.

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.
