REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)
(i) Prospective Purchaser: Government of Indonesia
(ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 12-53
Date: September 19, 2012
Military Department: Army
(iii) Description: On September 19, 2012, Congress was notified, by
Congressional Notification Transmittal Number 12-53, of the possible
sale under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, to the
Government of Indonesia of 8 AH-64D Apache Block III Longbow Attack
Helicopters, 19 T-700-GE-701D Engines (16 installed and 3 spares), 9
Modernized Target Acquisition and Designation Sight/Modernized Pilot
Night Vision Sensors, 4 AN/APG-78 Fire Control Radars (FCR) with Radar
Electronics Units (Longbow Component), 4 AN/APR-48A Radar Frequency
Interferometers, 10 AAR-57(V) 3/5 Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS)
with 5\th\ Sensor and Improved Countermeasure Dispenser, 10 AN/AVR-2B
Laser Detecting Sets, 10 AN/APR-39A(V)4 Radar Signal Detecting Sets, 24
Integrated Helmet and Display Sight Systems (IHDSS-21), 32 M299A1
Hellfire Missile Launchers, and 140 Hellfire AGM-114R3 Missiles. Also
included were Identification Friend or Foe transponders, 30mm guns and
ammunition, communication equipment, tools and test equipment, training
devices, simulators, generators, transportation, wheeled vehicles,
organizational equipment, spare and repair parts, support equipment,
personnel training and training equipment, U.S. government and
contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services, and
other related elements of logistics support. The estimated total cost
was $1.42 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $720
million of this total.
On January 14, 2014, Congress was notified, by Congressional
certification transmittal number 0P-13, under Section 36(b)(5)(a) of
the Arms Export Control Act, of the inclusion of eight sets of Embedded
Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS)
equipment. Although the value of the GPS/INS was included in the total
value of the case, it was not enumerated or valued as MDE in the
original notification. Upgrading the status of this equipment to MDE
resulted in a net increase in MDE cost of $4.2 million, but the total
case value remained $1.42 billion.
On March 30, 2015, Congress was notified, by Congressional
certification transmittal number 0E-15, under Section 36(b)(5)(a) of
the Arms Export Control Act, of the inclusion of two Embedded Global
Positioning Systems/Inertial Navigation Systems (EGI) and eight M36-E9
Captive Air Training Missiles (CATMs) for the AH-64 Apache Helicopter
program as Major Defense Equipment. The EGIs were originally reported
as 8 sets (2 per set); however,
[[Page 39544]]
the quantity was under reported and should have read 9 sets. The value
of all 9 sets was captured in the MDE total. The value of the CATMs was
included in the sale but not enumerated as MDE in the original
notification. The addition of these items as MDE resulted in a net
$350,000 increase in the MDE cost. The total case value for this
notification remained $1.42 billion.
This transmittal reports the inclusion of an additional one hundred
ninety-two (192) AGM-114R (NN) Hellfire missiles (MDE). The estimated
additional MDE cost is $30 million, resulting in a revised MDE value of
$754 million. The revised case value is $1.72 billion.
(iv) Significance: The United States is committed to the security
of Indonesia, and it is vital to U.S. national interests to assisting
Indonesia in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense
capability. The Indonesian Army (TNI-AD) expends Hellfire missiles in
training as well as during internal and bilateral exercises to ensure
mission readiness and enhance interoperability with U.S. armed forces.
Most notably, successful employment of Apache Hellfire missiles in
Exercise Garuda Shield in August 2019 reinforced Indonesia's confidence
in the weapons.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve
the security of a friendly country. The additional missiles will
provide a robust stock to cover several years of training and
exercises, and it will prepare Indonesia for future maritime security
contingencies.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The Sensitivity of Technology
statement contained in the original notification applies to items
reported here.
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: May 27, 2020.
