Transmittal No. 23–0X 

REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR 

UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF 

TECHNOLOGY OR CAPABILITY (SEC. 

36(B)(5)(C), AECA) 

(i) Purchaser: Government of Spain 

(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal 

No.: 20–57 

Date: September 2, 2020 

Implementing Agency: Air Force 

(iii) Description: On September 2, 

2020, Congress was notified by 

Congressional certification transmittal 

number 20–57, of the possible sale 

under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms 

Export Control Act, of one hundred 

(100) AIM–120C–7/8 Advanced 

Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles 

(AMRAAM) and one (1) AMRAAM 

Guidance Section (spare). Also included 

were KGV–135A encryption devices; 

containers; weapon support and support 

equipment; spare and repair parts; 

publications and technical 

documentation; United States (U.S.) 

Government and contractor engineering, 

technical, and logistics support services; 

and other related elements of logistical 

and program support. The estimated 

total cost was $248.5 million. Major 

Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted 

$237.0 million of this total. 

This transmittal notifies the addition 

of the following MDE items: six 

hundred fifty-five (655) AIM–120 C–8 

Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air 

Missiles (AMRAAM) or AIM–120 C–8 

AMRAAM Extended Range Missiles 

(AMRAAM–ER); four (4) AIM–120C–8 

AMRAAM Instrumented Test Vehicles 

(ITV); and thirteen (13) AIM–120 C–8 

AMRAAM Guidance Sections 

(AMRAAM GS). Also included are 

AIM–120 Captive Air Training Missiles 

(CATM) and spare control sections; 

Common Munitions Built-in-Test (BIT)/ 

Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE); 

classified software delivery and support; 

transportation support; and studies and 

surveys. The estimated total value of the 

new items is $1.6835 billion. The 

estimated MDE value will increase by 

$1.5485 billion to a revised $1.7855 

billion. The estimated non-MDE value 

will increase by $0.135 billion to a 

revised $0.1465 billion. The estimated 

total case value will increase to $1.932 

billion. 

(iv) Significance: This notification is 

being provided as 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 Spain’s capability to meet 

current and future threats by increasing 

its stocks of AMRAAMs for its fighter 

aircraft fleets and air defense in support 

of its national defense and will further 

strengthen interoperability with the 

U.S.. 

(v) Justification: This proposed sale 

will support the foreign policy and 

national security objectives of the 

United States by supporting the security 

and defense needs of a NATO Ally 

which is an important force for political 

stability and economic progress in 

Europe. 

(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The 

Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air 

Missile-Extended Range (AMRAAM– 

ER) variant utilizes an AIM–120C–7 or 

C–8 seeker and warhead joined with a 

new control section and rocket rotor (for 

surface launch mode applications). This 

provides extended range and altitude as 

well as higher speed and 

maneuverability. Common Munitions 

Built-in-Test (BIT)/Reprogramming 

Equipment (CMBRE) is supporting 

equipment. 

The Instrumented Test Vehicle (ITV) 

is a captive carry test vehicle used 

primarily for flight test integration. The 

ITV verifies and assesses the aircraft’s 

ability to safely support an AMRAAM 

launch through the aircraft interface 

mechanism and the aircraft datalink 

antenna. 

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.

Congress: December 5, 2023
