The estimated total MDE cost remains $9.9 billion. The estimated total cost of the new non-MDE items is $47 million and does not result in a net increase in total cost of non-MDE. The total non-MDE remains $4.18 billion. The total case value does not increase and remains $14.08 billion. (iv) Significance: This notification is being provided because 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 sale will provide Finland with a credible defense capability to deter aggression in the region and ensure interoperability with U.S. forces. (v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe. (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The AIM-120D-series AMRAAM is a supersonic, air-launched, aerial intercept guided missile featuring digital technology and micro- miniature solid-state electronics. AMRAAM capabilities include look- down/shoot-down, multiple launches against multiple targets, resistance to electronic countermeasures, and interception of high and low-flying and maneuvering targets. The AIM-120D features a quadrangle target detection device and an electronics unit within the guidance section that performs all radar signal processing, mid-course and terminal guidance, flight control, target detection, and warhead detonation. The ITV is a captive carry test vehicle used primarily for flight test integration. The ITV verifies and assesses the aircraft's ability to safely support an AMRAAM launch through the aircraft interface mechanism and the aircraft datalink antenna. The KGV-135A is a high-speed general purpose encryptor and decryptor module used for wideband data encryption. The Sensitivity of Technology Statement contained in the original notification applies to items reported here. The highest level of classification of information included in this potential sale is SECRET.
