systems, a regional C2 system, voice/ 

data communications equipment, spare 

parts, support equipment, personnel 

training, training equipment, 

publications and technical 

documentation, U.S. Government and 

contractor technical and logistics 

support services, and other related 

elements of logistics and program 

support. There are no MDE items being 

added. These additional items of nonMDE will result in an increase in nonMDE cost of $125 million. The MDE 

cost will remain $0. The total case value 

will increase to $225 million. 

(iv) Significance: This notification is 

being provided to report the inclusion of 

additional border surveillance systems 

to complete Egypt’s western land border 

and extend the coverage to Egypt’s 

southern land border were not included 

in the original notification. Their 

inclusion represents an increase in 

capability over what was previously 

notified. The purpose of the additional 

border surveillance system is to detect 

border incursions and communicate 

information for leadership to determine 

best methods of interdiction in areas 

outside of fixed land-based Points of 

Entry. Further employment of the MS3 

capability along the southern border 

provides sensor depth and network 

integration to allow for response times 

to mitigate risks to its forces and 

population. 

(v) Justification: This proposed sale 

will support the foreign policy and 

national security of the United States by 

helping to improve the security of a 

Major Non-NATO Ally country that 

continues to be an important strategic 

partner in the Middle East.

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Kazakhstan—King Air B300ER Scorpion 

Aircraft with Intelligence, Surveillance, 

Reconnaissance (ISR) Mission Systems 

The Government of Kazakhstan has 

requested to buy three (3) Raytheon AST 

TITAN Communications Intelligence 

(COMINT) Sensor Suites (2 installed, 1 

spare). Also included are two (2) King 

Air B300ER Scorpion aircraft; three (3) 

Leonardo Osprey 30 Active 

Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) 

radars (2 installed, 1 spare); three (3) 

WESCAM MX-15HDi Elector Optical 

Infrared Turret Electro Optical Infrared 

Sensors (2 installed, 1 spare); three (3) 

Sierra Nevada Small SWAP Auto 

Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) Systems 

(2 installed, 1 spare); secure 

communications; fixed and 

transportable ground control station; 

ground support equipment; aircraft 

integration and test support; 

publications and technical 

documentation; personnel training and 

training equipment; spare, component 

and repair parts; software and software 

support; US Government and contractor 

engineering, technical, and logistical 

support services, and other related 

elements of program and logistical 

support. The estimated total cost is 

$128.1 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the United States 

by improving the security of a partner 

country that is a force for political 

stability and economic progress in 

Central Asia. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Kazakhstan’s capability to meet current 

and future threats by improving its 

capability to deter regional threats and 

conduct border security operations. 

Kazakhstan will have no difficulty 

absorbing this equipment and services 

into its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be Sierra 

Nevada Corporation, Hagerstown, MD. 

There are no known offset agreements 

proposed in conjunction with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to 

Kazakhstan. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 21–09 

Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of 

Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the 

Arms Export Control Act 

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The King Air B300ER Scorpion is 

a twin turbo prop aircraft that provides 

manned surveillance. The King Air 

B300ER Scorpion provides persistent, 

real-time route surveillance and border 

security, counter-terrorism, and 

smuggling interdiction support for naval 

and coastal operations, internal defense, 

and search and rescue operations. 

2. The Leonardo Osprey 30 is an 

Active Electronically Scanned Array 

(AESA) Radar System that provides the 

King Air aircraft with all-weather, 

multi-mission capability for performing 

Air-to-Air, Air-to-Ground, and Air-toMaritime surveillance. Air surveillance 

mode provides a capability for single 

target tracking and weather mode. Land 

surveillance mode provides highresolution ground mapping and 

navigation. Maritime surveillance mode 

provides for small target detection and 

embedded automatic identification 

system. 

3. The WESCAM MX–15HDi Elector 

Optical Infrared Turret provides high 

definition video with laser illuminator 

and laser range-finding capabilities. The 

sensor is on an electrically operated lift 

which is located in the extended nose. 

4. The Raytheon AST TITAN System 

provides communications intelligence 

which searches, collects, analyzes, 

identifies, locates, records, and 

disseminates emitter data with range 

and bearing information. The TITAN 

System will also include a cellular 

intercept capability. 

5. The Sierra Nevada Small SWAP 

Auto ELINT system analyses the 

electromagnetic spectrum to identify 

and provide the location of the active 

emitter. The threat library is not being 

provided but will be developed by the 

end-user as they conduct missions. 

6. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is UNCLASSIFIED. 

7. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the specific hardware and software 

elements, the information could be used 

to develop countermeasures that might 

reduce weapon system effectiveness or 

be used in the development of a system 

with similar or advanced capabilities. 

8. A determination has been made 

that Kazakhstan can provide 

substantially the same degree of 

protection for the sensitive technology 

being released as the U.S. Government. 

This sale is necessary in furtherance of 

the U.S. foreign policy and national 

security objectives outlined in the 

Policy Justification. 

9. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to 

Kazakhstan.
