and training equipment, publications 

and technical documentation, U.S. 

Government and contractor engineering 

and logistics support services, and other 

related elements of logistic and program 

support. The estimated total cost was 

$860.4 million. Major Defense 

Equipment (MDE) constituted $324.4 

million of this total. 

On June 15, 2020, Congress was 

notified by Congressional certification 

transmittal number 20–0G of an 

additional MDE sale of thirty (30) AllUp-Round MK 54 Lightweight 

Torpedoes (LWT). The following nonMDE items were also included: MK 54 

LWT expendables; MK 54 turnaround 

kits; MK 54 containers; one (1) MK–695 

Torpedo Systems Test Set (TSTS); 

support equipment including fire 

control modification platforms and 

spare parts; torpedo spare parts; 

training; publications; software; U.S. 

Government and contractor engineering, 

technical, and logistics support services 

and other related elements of logistics 

and program support. The addition of 

these items resulted in a net increase in 

MDE cost of $45 million, resulting in a 

revised MDE cost of $369.4 million. The 

total estimated case value increased to 

$940.4 million. 

On June 8, 2022, Congress was 

notified by Congressional certification 

transmittal number 22–0G of the MDE 

replacement of the previously notified 

two (2) All Up Round MK 54 Mod 0 

LWTs with two (2) Exercise MK 54 Mod 

0 LWTs. Also included was additional 

Engineering Technical Assistance for 

redesign of Radar Signal Processing 

Group configuration and updates to 

International Aegis Fire Control Loop 

design; shipsets of SAASM units and 

associated spares; COMSEC equipment 

for use between test sites; and removal 

of one (1) shipset MK 36 Mod 6 Decoy 

Launching System. The MDE total value 

remained $369.4 million; however, the 

non-MDE estimated value increased 

from $571 million to $810.6 million. 

The total estimated case value increased 

to $1.18 billion. 

On February 27, 2023, Congress was 

notified by Congressional certification 

transmittal number 22–0W of the MDE 

inclusion of up to an additional sixtytwo (62) SM–2 Block IIIB missiles in 

tactical and telemetered configurations. 

Also included were MK 13 canisters; 

spare parts and associated containers; 

personal training and training 

equipment; publications and technical 

data; U.S. Government and contractor 

technical assistance; and other related 

elements of logistics and program 

support. The addition of these items 

resulted in a net increase in MDE value 

of $260 million, resulting in a revised 

MDE value of $629.4 million. The nonMDE estimated value increased from 

$810.6 million to $850.6 million. The 

total estimated case value increased by 

$300 million to $1.48 billion. 

This transmittal notifies: 1) the MDE 

inclusion of an additional one hundredten (110) MK 54 Mod 0 Lightweight 

Torpedoes (LWT) in the form of 

conversion kits for the Spanish Navy’s 

MK 46 LWTs; and 2) the replacement of 

the previously notified additional up to 

sixty-two (62) SM–2 Block IIIB missiles 

with up to sixty-two (62) SM–2 Block 

IIIC missiles. Also included are MK 54 

LWT expendables; MK 54 turnaround 

kits; MK 54 containers; torpedo spare 

parts; training; logistics support 

services; air launch accessories; and 

unclassified and classified publications. 

The estimated total value of the new 

items is $181 million. The value of the 

new MDE items constitutes $75 million 

of this total, resulting in a revised MDE 

value of $704.4 million. The estimated 

non-MDE value will increase by $106 

million to $956.6 million. The total 

estimated case value will increase by 

$181 million to $1.661 billion. 

(iv) Significance: The inclusion of this 

MDE represents an increase in 

capability over what was previously 

notified. The proposed amendment will 

support Spain’s Anti-Submarine 

Warfare (ASW) capability by providing 

50 MK 54 Conversion Kits for use with 

surface ships and 60 Conversion Kits for 

use on helicopters. 

(v) Justification: This proposed sale 

will support the foreign policy and 

national security of the U.S. by 

improving the security of a North 

Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 

Ally, which is an important force for 

political stability and economic progress 

in Europe. It is vital to the U.S. national 

interest to assist Spain in developing 

and maintaining a strong and ready selfdefense capability. 

(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: 

The SM–2 Block IIIC Active Missile 

maximizes existing SM–6 Block I active 

and SM–2 semi-active missile 

technology to deliver a low cost, 

medium range dual mode active/semiactive missile. Improvements to the 

Guidance Section, communications 

plate and steering control section are 

planned to address obsolescence. 

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.
