This transmittal notifies 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. Also, this transmittal reports a correction to the previously notified "twenty-one (21) F100-GE-129D Engines or F100-PW229EEP Engines (16 installed, 5 spares)" to "twenty-one (21) F110-GE-129D Engines or F100-PW229EEP Engines (16 installed, 5 spares);" there is currently no GE aircraft engine designated as F100. The addition of the new items will cause an increase in the total net cost of MDE by $0.06 billion to $2.45 billion. The estimated total case value will increase to $4.27 billion.
(iv) Significance: This notification is being provided to correctly identify the designation of F110-GE-129D engines to be included in this sale; furthermore, 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 articles and services will continue modernization of the Jordanian fighter aircraft fleet and support operational requirements associated with regional U.S.-coalition goals such as countering violent extremist organizations, countering malign state and non-state actors, and border defense, while ensuring continued interoperability with U.S. and coalition forces.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
The AN/USQ-190 Multifunctional Information Distribution System with Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS) is an advanced Link-16 command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) system incorporating high-capacity, jam-resistant digital communications links for exchange of near-real-time tactical information, including both data and voice, among air, ground, and sea elements.
The AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder Missile is a short-range, air-to-air missile providing a high off-boresight seeker, enhanced countermeasure rejection capability, low drag/high angle of attack airframe, and the ability to integrate a Helmet Mounted Cueing System.
This potential sale will include tactical guidance units, Captive Air Training Missiles (CATMs), and CATM guidance units.
The highest level of classification of defense articles, components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: September 27, 2022
