Description: On October 21, 2020, Congress was notified by Congressional certification
transmittal number 20-69 of the possible sale, under Section 36(b)(l) of the Arms Export
Control Act, of one hundred thirty-five (135) AGM-84H Standoff Land Attack Missile
Expanded Response (SLAM-ER) Missiles; four (4) ATM-84H SLAM-ER Telemetry
Missiles; and twelve (12) CATM-84H Captive Air Training Missiles (CATM). Also
included are one hundred fifty-one (151) containers, spare and repair parts, support and
test equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training
equipment, U.S. Government and contractor representatives’ technical assistance,
engineering and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistics support.
The estimated total cost was $1.008 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE)
constituted $608 million of this total.
This transmittal reports increases in MDE value by $147 million to $755 million and nonMDE value by $145 million to $545 million. This will result in an overall total case
value increase of $292 million to $1.3 billion.

(iv)

Significance: Reassessment of recent market trends by the Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) has identified an increase in cost of parts from suppliers, ranging
from 20% to 120% over the past 12 months. Global supply chain logistics issues are
impacting Long-lead items and increasing volatility to pricing, as some sub-tier suppliers
are refusing to bid and others are offering pricing that is only valid for very limited
timeframes, resulting in the need to qualify new sources. The OEM has repriced the effort
to account for these price increases to add to the stability of this effort. There is no change
to sensitive equipment or quantity/type of MDE
previously notified.

(v)

Justification: 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. The proposed sale will 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 Sensitivity of Technology statement contained in the
original notification applies to items reported here.
The highest level of classification of defense articles, components, and services included
in this potential sale is CONFIDENTIAL.
