sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of five 
(5) P-8A Patrol Aircraft; nine (9) Multifunctional Information 
Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio Systems 5 (MIDS JTRS 5); and 
twelve (12) LN-251 with Embedded Global Positioning Systems (GPS)/
Inertial Navigations Systems (EGls). Also included were commercial 
engines; Tactical Open Mission Software (TOMS); Electro-Optical (E.O.) 
and Infrared MX-20HD; AN/AAQ-2(V) I Acoustic System; AN/APY-10 radar; 
ALQ-240 Electronic Support Measures; NexGen Missile Warning Sensors; 
AN/PRC-117G Manpack radios include MPE-S type II with SAASM 3.7; Global 
Positioning Systems (GPS) 524D Precise Positioning System (PPS) for 
APY-10 Radar; AN/ALQ-213 Electronic Counter Measures; AN/ALE-47 Counter 
Measures Dispensing Systems; AN/UPX IFF Interrogators; APX-123A(C) IFF 
Digital Transponders; KIV-78 IFF Mode 5 Cryptographic Appliques; CCM-
701A Cryptographic Core Modules; KY-100M, KY-58, KYV-5 for HF-121C 
radios; AN/PYQ-10 V3 Simple Key Loaders (SKL) with KOV-21 Cryptographic 
Appliques; aircraft spares; spare engine; support equipment; 
operational support systems; training; training devices; maintenance 
trainer/classrooms; publications; software; engineering technical 
assistance (ETA); logistics technical assistance (LTA); Country Liaison 
Officer (CLO) support; Contractor Engineering Technical Services 
(CETS); repair and return (RoR); transportation; aircraft ferry; other 
associated training and support; and other related elements of 
logistics and program support. The total estimated program cost was 
$1.77 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $1.10 billion 
of this total.

inclusion of the following Major Defense Equipment (MDE) items: eight 
(8) LAIRCM System Processor Replacements (LSPR) (each included 8 Exelis 
EGR Global Positioning System (GPS) Receivers integrated with Selective 
Availability Anti-Spoofing Modules (SAASM); and seven (7) Guardian 
Laser Transmitter Assemblies (GLTA)). The following non-MDE items were 
also included: AN/ARC 210 RT-2036(C) radios; Control Interface Unit 
(CIU) for the AN/AAQ 24(V)N; dual KIV-7Ms; CCM-700A cryptographic 
modules; KG-175 Encryptor Network Convergence Systems; Advanced Digital 
Antenna Production (ADAP) Antenna Electronics (AE); and Advanced 
Digital Antenna Production (ADAP) Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna 
(CRPA) antennas. The total value of these new items was $13.5 million 
but did not cause an increase in the total estimated program cost, as 
pricing was factored in the initial notification. The total estimated 
program cost remained $1.77 billion, with the total MDE cost remaining 
$1.10 billion of total program cost.
    This transmittal reports the addition of the following MDE items: 
three (3) P-8A Patrol Aircraft; six (6) Multifunctional Information 
Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio Systems 5 (MIDS JTRS 5); seven 
(7) LN-251 with Embedded Global Positioning Systems (GPS)/Inertial 
Navigation Systems (EGIs); five (5) Large Aircraft Infrared 
Countermeasures (LAIRCM) System Processor Replacements (each includes 
five (5)) Exelis EGR Global Positioning System (GPS) Receivers 
integrated with Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Modules (SAASM); 
and four (4) Guardian Laser Transmitter Assemblies (GLTA). The 
following non-MDE items will also be included: aircraft spare parts; 
spare engines; support equipment; operational support systems; 
training; training devices; software; engineering technical assistance 
(ETA); logistics technical assistance (LTA); RoR; transportation; 
aircraft ferry; and other related elements of engineering, logistics, 
and program management support. The addition of these items will result 
in a net increase in MDE cost of $800 million, resulting in a revised 
MDE cost of $1.9 billion. The total estimated case value will increase 
to $3.2 billion.
    (iv) Significance: This notification is being provided as the 
additional MDE items were not enumerated in the original notifications. 
The proposed articles and services will support Germany's capability to 
meet current and future threats by providing critical capabilities to 
coalition maritime operations and will increase interoperability 
between the United States and Germany.
    (v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign 
policy and national security of the United States by improving the 
security of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Ally which is 
an important force for political and economic stability in Europe.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Sensitivity of Technology 
Statement contained in the original notification applies to the items 
reported here.
    The highest level of classification of defense articles,
