On September 27, 2022, Congress was notified by congressional certification transmittal number 22-0L of the addition of the following MDE items: thirty-one (31) Multifunctional Information Distribution Systems with Joint Tactical Radio Systems (MIDS JTRS); thirty-two (32) AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder missiles; twenty (20) AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder Captive Air Training Missiles (CATM); four (4) AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder tactical guidance units; and four (4) AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder CATM guidance units.

The total net cost of MDE increased by $0.06 billion to $2.45 billion. The estimated total case value increased to $4.27 billion.

This transmittal notifies the possible replacement of up to four (4) of the previously notified F-16 C Block 70 aircraft with up to four (4) F-16 D Block 70 aircraft. The total number of F-16 Block 70 aircraft in the potential sale does not change remaining sixteen (16).
