Transmittal No. 23-0L
REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR 
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
    (i) Purchaser: Government of India
    (ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 21-13

Date: April 30, 2021
Implementing Agency: Navy
Funding Source: National Funds

    (iii) Description: On April 30, 2021, Congress was notified by 
congressional certification transmittal number 21-13 of the possible 
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of six (6) 
P-8I Patrol Aircraft; eight (8) Multifunctional Information 
Distribution System-Joint Tactical Radio Systems 5 (MIDS-JTRS 5) (6 
installed, 2 spares); forty-two (42) AN/AAR-54 Missile Warning Sensors 
(36 installed, 6 spares); and fourteen (14) LN-251 with Embedded Global 
Positioning Systems (GPS)/Inertial Navigations Systems (EGIs) (12 
installed, 2 spares). Also included were CFM56-7 commercial engines; 
Tactical Open Mission Software (ITOMS) variant for P-8I; Electro-
Optical (EO) and Infrared (IR) MX-20HD; AN/AAQ-2(V)l Acoustic System; 
ARES-1000 commercial variant Electronic Support Measures; AN/APR-39D 
Radar Warning Receiver; AN/ALE-47 Counter Measures Dispensing System; 
support equipment and spares; publications; repair and return; 
transportation; aircraft ferry; training; U.S. Government and 
contractor engineering, software, technical, and logistics support 
services; and other related elements of logistical and program support. 
The total estimated cost was $2.42 billion. MDE constituted $2.05 
billion of this total.
    This transmittal reports a net value increase in MDE of $.55 
billion to $2.6 billion due to price increases. No additional MDE 
equipment will be included. The following non-MDE will be added: AN/
ARC-210 RT-2036(C)

[[Page 81478]]

UHF/VHF Radio Transceivers; AN/AAR-47 Missile Warning Sensors; 
Electronic Countermeasure AN/ALQ-213; Advanced Digital Antenna 
Production (ADAP) Antenna Electronics (AE); and Advanced Digital 
Antenna Production (ADAP) Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA). 
Also, the non-MDE AN/APR-39D Radar Warning Receiver previously notified 
will be replaced with the AN/APR-39D(V)2 Processor Radar. These 
revisions will result in an increase in estimated non-MDE value of $.23 
billion to $.60 billion. The total case value will increase by $0.78 
billion, resulting in an estimated total case value of $3.2 billion.
    (iv) Significance: The additional non-MDE represents an increase in 
capability over what was previously notified. The proposed articles and 
services will improve India's capability to meet current and future 
threats by providing critical capabilities to India's maritime 
operations.
    (v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign 
policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping 
to strengthen the U.S.-Indian strategic relationship and to improve the 
security of a major defensive partner which continues to be an 
important force for political stability, peace, and economic progress 
in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia region.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Sensitivity of Technology 
Statement contained in the original notification applies to items 
reported here with the exceptions of:
    <bullet> Electronic Warfare Self Protection (EWSP). The aircraft 
EWSP consists of the ALQ-213 Electronic Warfare Management System 
(EWMS), the AN/ALE-47 Counter Measures Dispensing System (CMDS), and 
the AN/AAR-47 Missile Warning System.
    <bullet> AN/ARC-210 RT-2036(C) Radios. The RT-2036(C) is the first 
airborne software-defined radio to have MUOS (Mobile User Objective 
System) Satellite Communications (SATCOM), Second Generation Anti-Jam 
Tactical UHF Radio for NATO (SATURN) Electronic Counter-Counter 
Measures (ECCM) waveform, high-speed mobile ad hoc networked 
communications, and beyond-line-of-sight connectivity for secure data, 
voice and imagery.
    <bullet> AN/APR-39D(V)2 Processor Radar. The Radar provides 
increased Probability of Detection (Sensitivity), corrects ID/Ambiguity 
Resolution, improves Direction of Arrival (DOA) accuracy versus 
Circular Polarized (CP) Emitters, and improves DOA Indications versus 
CID Band Emitters.
    <bullet> Advanced Digital Antenna Production (ADAP) Antenna 
Electronics (AE). The ADAP Antenna provides digital anti-jam processing 
and protected GPS L1 and GPS L2 for the majority of Radio-Frequency 
(RF) and Infrared Frequency (IF) input GPS receivers.
    <bullet> Advanced Digital Antenna Production (ADAP) Controlled 
Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA). The CRPA Antenna removes interference 
based on direction of arrival.
    The highest level of classification of defense articles, 
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
    (vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: June 21, 2023
