and sustainment support. The estimated 

total cost was $8.0 billion. Major 

Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted 

$5.1 billion of this total. 

On April 21, 2021, Congress was 

notified by Congressional certification 

transmittal number 21–0E of the 

addition of fifty-seven (57) Sniper 

Advanced Targeting Pods (ATPs) (AN/ 

AAQ–33) (MDE). The following nonMDE items were also included: Infrared 

Search and Track (IRST) pods (IRST 

International); IRST and Sniper ATP 

shipping containers; pylons; spare parts; 

repair and return; publications and 

technical documentation; software 

support; integration and test support; 

U.S. Government and Contractor 

engineering, technical and logistics 

support; and additional familiarization 

training. Additionally, this transmittal 

amended the original CN’s reference to 

a specific electronic warfare system, to 

a successfully engineered and tested 

future Electronic Warfare (EW) Suite, 

integrated on the F–16V Block 70 

aircraft. The total cost of the new MDE 

articles was $154.33 million, and the 

total cost of the new non-MDE articles 

was $307.52 million. The total notified 

cost of MDE did not increase, and the 

total notified case value remained $8.0 

billion. 

This transmittal reports the addition 

of the following MDE items: eighty-six 

(86) Multifunctional Information 

Distribution Systems with Low Volume 

Terminals (MIDS–LVTs); eighty-six (86) 

LAU–129 Multi-purpose Launchers; 

seven (7) Embedded Global Positioning 

Systems/Inertial Navigation Systems 

(GPS/INS) (EGI) devices with Selective 

Availability Anti-Spoofing Module 

(SAASM) or M-Code; and the option to 

replace up to two (2) of the previously 

notified LN–260 EGIs with EGIs with MCode. The following non-MDE items 

will also be included: KY–58 

narrowband/wideband COMSEC 

devices and Computer Program 

Identification Numbers (CPINs) (not 

identified in the original notification), 

in addition to Low Volume Terminal 

(LVT) Cryptographic Modules (LCMs), 

and additional AN/PYQ–10 SKLs and 

helmet-mounted cueing systems. The 

total estimated value of the additional 

items is $56.3 million. The estimated 

total MDE value remains $5.1 billion, 

and the estimated total case value 

remains $8.0 billion. 

(iv) Significance: This notification is 

being provided because the additional 

MDE items were not enumerated in the 

original notification. The inclusion of 

this MDE represents an increase in 

capability over what was previously 

notified. The proposed sale will 

improve the recipient’s ability to 

operate its fleet of F–16 C/D Block 70 

aircraft. 

(v) Justification: This proposed sale is 

consistent with U.S. law and policy as 

expressed in Title 22 U.S.C. 3301 

(Public Law 96–8). This proposed sale 

serves U.S. national, economic, and 

security interests by supporting the 

recipient’s continuing efforts to 

modernize its armed forces and to 

maintain a credible defensive capability. 

It will also help improve the security of 

the recipient and assist in maintaining 

political stability, military balance, and 

economic progress in the region. 

(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: 

The Multifunctional Information 

Distribution System with Low Volume 

Terminal (MIDS–LVT) is an advanced 

Link-16 command, control, 

communications, and intelligence (C3I) 

system incorporating high-capacity, 

jam-resistant, digital communication 

links for exchange of near real-time 

tactical information, including both data 

and voice, among air, ground, and sea 

elements. MIDS–LVT is intended to 

support key theater functions such as 

surveillance, identification, air control, 

weapons engagement coordination, and 

direction for all Services and allied 

forces. LVT Cryptographic Modules 

(LCMs) will also be included in this 

potential sale. 

The Embedded Global Positioning 

System/Inertial Navigation System 

(GPS/INS) (EGI) with Selective 

Availability Anti-Spoofing Module 

(SAASM)—or M-Code receiver when 

available—and Precise Positioning 

Service (PPS) is a self-contained 

navigation system that provides 

information on the following: 

acceleration, velocity, position, attitude, 

platform azimuth, magnetic and true 

heading, altitude, body angular rates, 

time tags, and coordinated universal 

time (UTC) synchronized time. SAASM

84550 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 23, 2024 / Notices 

or M-Code enables the GPS receiver 

access to the encrypted P(Y) code or Mcode signal, providing protection 

against active spoofing attacks. 

The KY–58 is a secure voice module 

primarily used to encrypt radio 

communication to and from military 

aircraft and other tactical vehicles. 

The Sensitivity of Technology 

Statement contained in the original 

notification applies to additional items 

reported here. 

The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET.
