Transmittal No. 18–0D 

REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR 

UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF 

TECHNOLOGY OR CAPABILITY (SEC. 

36(B)(5)(C)), (AECA) 

(i) Purchaser: Government of Norway 

(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal 

No.: 13–68 

Date: December 18, 2013 

Military Department: Air Force 

(iii) Description: On December 18, 

2013, Congress was notified by 

Congressional certification transmittal 

number 13–68, of the possible sale 

under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms 

Export Control Act of C–130J technical, 

engineering and software support; 

software updates and patches; 

familiarization training for the Portable 

Flight Planning System (PFPS) and Joint 

Mission Planning System (JMPS); spare 

and repair parts; U.S. Government and 

contractor technical support services; 

and other related elements of logistics 

and program support. The estimated 

cost was $107 million, with no Major 

Defense Equipment (MDE). 

This transmittal notifies the extension 

of non-MDE support provided to 

Norway’s C–130J aircraft sustainment 

program, including additional 

distribution support for unclassified and 

classified software. Extending the 

sustainment case will result in an 

increase in non-MDE cost of $123 

million. The total case value will 

increase to $230 million. 

(iv) Significance: The addition of this 

funding to Norway’s C–130J 

sustainment program represents an 

increase in capability over what was 

originally notified. The proposed sale 

will allow Norway to continue to 

effectively maintain its current fleet of 

C–130J fleet. 

(v) Justification: This proposed sale 

will contribute to the foreign policy and 

national security of the United States by 

helping to improve the security of a 

NATO ally. Norway intends to use this 

technical, engineering, and software 

support to provide successful operation 

of the PFPS and JMPS. This program 

will increase Norway’s ability to 

contribute to future NATO operations, 

support U.S. national security interests, 

and strengthen a critical, long-term 

strategic military partnership.

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

The Netherlands—F–16 Formal 

Training Unit at Tucson Air National 

Guard Base (ANGB), Arizona 

The Government of the Netherlands 

has requested to buy defense articles 

and services in support of continuation 

of a Continental United States (CONUS) 

based Royal Netherlands Air Force F–16 

Formal Training Unit, to include up to 

twenty-seven (27) GBU–12 Inert 

Paveway IIs. Also included are PGU–27 

Inert training rounds, Impulse 

Cartridges, MJU–7/B Flares, RR–188 

Chaff, BDU–33/B and BDU–50/B 

training munitions, fuel and air 

refueling support, airlift services, base 

operating support, facilities, 

publications and technical 

documentation, pilot training, personnel 

training and training equipment, 

weapon system and software support, 

U.S. Government and contractor 

technical, engineering, and logistics 

personnel services, and other related 

elements of logistics and program 

support. The estimated program value is 

$110 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

improving the security of a NATO Ally 

which is an important force for political 

stability and economic progress in 

Europe. 

This potential sale will continue to 

improve the Royal Netherlands Air 

Force’s (RNLAF) ability to develop 

mission-ready and experienced pilots to 

support its F–16 aircraft inventory. The 

well-established pilot proficiency 

training program at Tucson Air National 

Guard Base will train pilots in F–16 

operations, tactics, techniques, and 

procedures. This training will enhance 

the RNLAF’s ability to continue 

contributions to Overseas Contingency 

Operations and to NATO air policing 

operations, as well as, to possible future 

coalitions operations. The Netherlands 

will have no difficulty absorbing this 

training. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

There is no prime contractor involved 

in this proposed sale. The Tucson Air 

National Guard will provide instruction, 

flight operations, and maintenance 

support and facilities with defense 

articles anticipated to come from U.S. 

stocks, as needed. There are no known 

offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government personnel 

or contractor representatives to the 

Netherlands. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
