    (iii) Description: On December 21, 2021, Congress was notified by 
Congressional certification transmittal number 22-02, of the possible 
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of three 
hundred forty-one (341) Javelin FGM-148F missiles and thirty (30) 
Javelin Command Launch Units (CLUs). Also included were battery

the estimated value of the new non-MDE items is $10 million. The 
revised estimated total MDE value is $545.4 million, and the revised 
total case value is $571.1 million.
    (iv) Significance: The proposed sale will support Lithuania's 
ability to build its long-term defense capacity to defend its 
sovereignty and territorial integrity to meet its national defense

Lithuania in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense 
capability.

national security of the United States by helping to improve the

important force for ensuring peace and stability in Europe.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
    The Javelin Weapon System is comprised of two major tactical 
components, which are a reusable Light Weight Command Launch Unit 
(LWCLU) and a round contained in a disposable launch tube assembly. The 
Light Weight Command Launch Unit has been identified as Major Defense 
Equipment (MDE). The LWCLU incorporates an integrated day-night sight 
that provides a target engagement capability in adverse weather and 
countermeasure environments. The LWCLU may also be used in a stand-
alone mode for battlefield surveillance and target detection. The 
LWCLU's thermal sight is a 3rd generation Forward Looking Infrared 
(FLIR) sensor. To facilitate initial loading and subsequent updating of 
software, all on-board missile software is uploaded via the LWCLU after 
mating and prior to launch.
    The Sensitivity of Technology Statement contained in the original 
notification applies to other items reported here.
    The highest level of classification of defense articles, 
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
