    Date: August 3, 2021

Missile Simulation Rounds; Security Assistance Management Directorate 
Technical Assistance; Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions Project 
Office Technical Assistance; other associated equipment and services; 
and other related elements of logistical and program support. The 
estimated total cost was $30 million. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) 
constituted $25 million of this total.
    This transmittal reports the replacement of the previously notified 
forty-six (46) Javelin Command Launch Units (CLUs) with thirty (30) 
Javelin Light Weight Command Launch Units (LWCLUs) (MDE). The following 
non-MDE items will also be added: technical assistance, training and 
support equipment in support of Javelin program management, logistics, 
oversight, and successful delivery of the weapon system. The estimated 
total value of these additional items is $7.16 million. The total 
estimated MDE value remains $25 million. The estimated total value will 
increase by $7 million, resulting in an estimated total case value of 
$37 million.
    (iv) (U) Significance: This notification is being provided to 
report the replacement of the previously notified Javelin CLUs with 
Javelin LWCLUs. The proposed sale will support Georgia's ability to 
build its long-term defense capacity to defend its sovereignty and 
territorial integrity to meet its national defense requirements. It is 
vital to the U.S. national interest to assist Georgia in developing and 
maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability.
    (v) (U) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign 
policy and national security of the United States by improving the 
security of Georgia which is a strategic partner and a key contributor 
to security and stability in the region.
    (vi) (U) Sensitivity of Technology:
    The Javelin Weapon System is comprised of two major tactical 
components, which are a reusable Light Weight Command Launch Unit 
(LWCLU) and a round contained in a disposable launch tube assembly. The 
LWCLU incorporates an integrated day-night sight that provides a target 
engagement capability in adverse weather and countermeasure 
environments. It may also be used in a stand-alone mode for battlefield 
surveillance and target detection. The LWCLU's thermal sight is a 3rd 
generation Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensor. To facilitate 
initial loading and subsequent updating of software, all on-board 
missile software is uploaded via the LWCLU after mating and prior to 
launch.
    The highest level of classification of defense articles, 
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
    (vii) (U) Date Report Delivered to Congress: July 28, 2026
