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.
