POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Romania—M1278A1 Heavy Gun 

Carriers Joint Light Tactical Vehicles 

(JLTVs) 

The Government of Romania has 

requested to buy an additional ninetyfive (95) Heavy Gun Carriers Joint Light 

Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs). This 

amendment will push the current case 

above the MDE and total case value 

notification thresholds and thus 

requires notification of the entire case. 

The original FMS case, valued at $43.73 

million, included thirty-four (34) Heavy 

Gun Carriers JLTVs. Therefore, this 

notification is for a total of one hundred 

twenty-nine (129) M1278A1 Heavy Gun 

Carriers Joint Light Tactical Vehicles. 

Also included are VRC–104 radio kits; 

VRC–114 radio kits; baseline integration 

kits; basic issue items; Defense 

Advanced GPS Receivers (DAGRs); 

DAGR integration kits; network switch 

ports; exportable power kits; silent 

watch energy storages; power expansion 

kits; RF7800i intercom kits; combat 

bumper kits; winch kits; flat tow kits; 

run flat kits; spare tire kits; commander 

supply display units; improved turret 

drive systems; M1114 turret ring 

hatches; 2-year contractor spare parts 

package; technical assistance; total 

package fielding; technical publications/ 

manuals; and other related elements of 

logistics and program support. The total 

estimated cost is $104.0 million. 

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. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Romania’s capability to meet current 

and future threats by providing a 

credible force that is capable of 

deterring adversaries and enhance its 

participation in NATO operations. 

Romania will have no difficulty 

absorbing this equipment into its armed 

forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractors will be 

Oshkosh Corporation, Oshkosh, WI, and 

Oshkosh Defense, LLC, Oshkosh, WI. 

There are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this sale will not 

require the assignment of any U.S. 

Government or contractor 

representatives to Romania. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 23–06 

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 Joint Light Tactical Vehicle 

(JLTV) program is a light tactical vehicle 

designed to replace the U.S. Military’s 

aging High Mobility Multipurpose 

Wheeled Vehicle fleet. It was designed 

to close the existing gap in payload, 

performance, and protection to our 

adversaries during multi-domain 

operations. It has been an operationally 

optimal choice for the light tactical 

vehicle mission spectrum anywhere in 

the world. All JLTV mission variants 

include a strong balance of protection, 

maneuverability, speed, reliability, and 

combat support/combat service support 

capability that far surpasses any similar 

vehicle developed in its weight class 

today. 

2. The JLTV is designed to be a system 

of systems. System of systems is a ‘‘set 

or arrangement of systems that results 

when independent and useful systems 

are integrated into a larger system that 

delivers unique capabilities. The Joint 

Light Tactical Vehicle allows material 

and equipment from authorized 

contractors or industrial facilities used 

by U.S. forces in tactical operations and 

managed by other Program Offices. 

3. The JLTV has inherent armor built 

into the base vehicle. It is what the US 

Government (USG) calls A-Kit armor. 

This A-Kit Inherent armor provides both 

opaque and transparent armor solutions 

to provide a 360-degree azimuthal (i.e., 

all around) to include an elevated fire 

level of protection from a spectrum of 

kinetic energy/small arms fire threats 

with survivability enhancements to 

include Automatic Fire Extinguishing 

Protection (AFES) and structural 

rollover protection of 150% of the 

vehicle Ground Vehicle Weight Rating 

(GVWR). 

4. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

5. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the hardware and software elements, the 

information could be used to develop 

countermeasures or equivalent systems 

which might reduce system 

effectiveness or be used in the 

development of a system with similar or 

advanced capabilities. 

6. A determination has been made 

that the Government of Romania can 

provide substantially the same degree of 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
74226 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 177 / Thursday, September 12, 2024 / Notices 

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. 

7. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal are authorized 

for release and export to the 

Government of Romania.
