REPORT OF ENHANCEMENT OR UPGRADE OF SENSITIVITY OF TECHNOLOGY OR 
CAPABILITY (SEC. 36(B)(5)(C), AECA)

    (i) Prospective Purchaser: Government of Egypt
    (ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 15-25
    Date: July 7, 2015
    Military Department: Air Force
    (iii) Description: On July 7, 2015, Congress was notified by 
Congressional certification transmittal number 15-25 of the possible 
sale under Section 36(b)(l) of the Arms Export Control Act of 
procurement and construction of one (1) commercial off-the-shelf border 
security mobile surveillance sensor security system that will include 
the following sub-systems: mobile surveillance sensor towers, mobile 
command and control (C2) systems, a regional C2 system, voice/data 
communications equipment, spare parts, support equipment, personnel 
training, training equipment, publications and technical documentation, 
U.S. Government and contractor technical and logistics support 
services, and other related elements of logistics and program support. 
The estimated total cost was $100 million. This total was all non-MDE 
since no Major Defense Equipment (MDE) was purchased.
    This transmittal reports the inclusion of the procurement and 
construction of twenty-three (23) commercial off-the-shelf border 
security mobile surveillance sensor security (MS3) systems, thirty-six

systems, a regional C2 system, voice/data communications equipment, 
spare parts, support equipment, personnel training, training equipment, 
publications and technical documentation, U.S. Government and 
contractor technical and logistics support services, and other related 
elements of logistics and program support. There are no MDE items being 
added. These additional items of non-MDE will result in an increase in 
non-MDE cost of $125 million. The MDE cost will remain $0. The total 
case value will increase to $225 million.
    (iv) Significance: This notification is being provided to report 
the inclusion of additional border surveillance systems to complete 
Egypt's western land border and extend the coverage to Egypt's southern 
land border were not included in the original notification. Their 
inclusion represents an increase in capability over what was previously 
notified. The purpose of the additional border surveillance system is 
to detect border incursions and communicate information for leadership 
to determine best methods of interdiction in areas outside of fixed 
land-based Points of Entry. Further employment of the MS3 capability 
along the southern border provides sensor depth and network integration 
to allow for response times to mitigate risks to its forces and 
population.
    (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 Major Non-NATO Ally country that continues to be an 
important strategic partner in the Middle East.
    (vi) Date Report Delivered to Congress: December 28, 2020
