total cost was $4.21 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted 
$2.39 billion of this total.
    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.
