Transmittal No. 26-1C
REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
(i) Prospective Purchaser: Government of Germany
(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 23-26
Date: May 11, 2023
Implementing Agency: Army
Funding Source: National Funds
(iii) Description: On May 11, 2023, Congress was notified by
congressional certification transmittal number 23-26 of the possible
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of sixty
(60) CH-47F Block II cargo helicopters with customer-unique
modifications; one hundred forty (140) T-55-GA-714A engines (120
installed, 20 spares); seventy-two (72) AN/AAR-57 Common Missile
Warning Systems (60 installed, 12 spares); and two hundred eighty-four
(284) AN/ARC-231A Communications Security (COMSEC) radios (240
installed, 44 spares). Also included were AN/AVR-2B laser detecting
sets; AN/APR-39C(V)1 radar detecting sets; AN/ARC-220 High Frequency
radios with Electronic Counter-Countermeasures; military Precise
Positioning Service (to include Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing
Module or M-code); Digital Advanced Flight Control Systems; AN/APX-123A
Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) transponder; AN/ARN-147 Very High
Frequency Omnidirectional Range and Instrument Landing System; AN/ARN-
153 Tactical Air Navigation Systems; air data computers; AN/APN-209
radar altimeter systems; AN/PYQ-10 simple key loaders; KIV-77 Mode \4/
5\ IFF applique; KY-100M Narrowband/Wideband terminal COMSEC devices;
AN/AVS-6 night vision devices; IDM-401 improved data modem; air-to-air
refueling probes; M134 gun mounts; infrared suppression system; engine
air particle separator; ballistic protection system with cockpit; cabin
sides; Midas underfloor cooling system; Extended Range Fuel Systems
(ERFS) 800 gal and 500 gal; forward area refueling equipment; tie down
materiel and helicopter under-slung load equipment for internal and
external loads; rotor brake; rescue hoists; fast rope insertion/
extraction system; electro optical infrared sensors; crash resistant
pilot and troop seats; skis; life rafts; litter straps and fittings;
mission equipment (e.g., jungle penetrator; litter basket; and Jacob's
Ladder); airborne tactical extraction platform; special tools and test
equipment; ground support equipment; airframe and engine spare parts;
technical data; publications; maintenance work orders/engineering
change proposals; repair and return; technical assistance;
airworthiness assistance; transportation of aircraft; training; flight
training and maintenance trainers; and other related elements of
logistics and program support. The estimated total program value was
$8.50 billion. Major defense equipment (MDE) constituted $3.35 billion
of this total.
On April 23, 2025, Congress was notified by congressional
certification transmittal number 25-0G of the possible sale, under
Section 36(b)(5)(C) of the Arms Export Control Act, of the following
additional MDE items: forty-seven (47) OT-228/U Common Infrared
Countermeasures; and one hundred forty-four (144) ``EAGLE-M'' aviation
navigation systems comprised of Enhanced Aviation Global Air Traffic
Management systems, Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance
instruments, and Embedded Global Positioning System (GPS)/Inertial
Navigation Systems with M-code. The following non-MDE items were also
included: Multi-Platform Anti-Jam GPS Navigation Antenna-Federated,
Type Designator: AS-4840; communications systems; and other related
elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost of
the new items was $0.63 billion. The MDE value increased by $0.63
billion to a revised $3.98 billion but did not require an increase in
the estimated total case value. Instead, $0.63 billion of the
available, previously notified non-MDE value was transferred to the MDE
value, causing a decrease in the non-MDE value to $4.52 billion. The
estimated total case value remained unchanged at $8.50 billion.
This transmittal notifies a pricing increase of previously reported
CH-47F Block II Cargo Helicopters; and the addition of seventy-two (72)
Radar Detecting Sets, AN/APR-39E(V)2. The estimated MDE value will
increase by $1.02 billion to a revised $5.0 billion
[[Page 34612]]
but will not require an increase in the estimated total case value.
Instead, $1.02 billion of the available, previously notified non-MDE
value will be transferred to the MDE value, causing a decrease in the
non-MDE value to $3.50 billion. The estimated total case value of $8.50
billion will remain unchanged. MDE constitutes $5.0 billion of this
total.
(iv) Significance: This notification accounts for a pricing
adjustment and additional MDE items not included in the original
notification. The inclusion of this MDE represents an increase in
capability over what was previously notified. The proposed sale will
improve Germany's heavy lift capability, intended to enhance its
capability to strengthen its homeland defense and deter regional
threats.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by
improving the security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political
stability and economic progress in Europe.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
The AN/APR-39E(V)2 Radar Warning Receiver is a radar threat
detection system that passively detects, categorizes, and prioritizes
radio frequency threats to aircraft and provides an audio/visual cue to
the aircrew. AN/APR-39E(V)2 provides a fully digital capability to
enhance threat discrimination in the millimeter wave band and increased
overall system performance against frequency-agile radio frequency and
Active Electronically Scanned Array threat radars.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: May 19, 2026
