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

    (i) Prospective Purchaser: Government of Belgium
    (ii) Sec. 36(B)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 22-63
    Date: November 8, 2022
    Implementing Agency: Air Force
    (iii) Description: On November 8, 2022, Congress was notified by 
congressional certification transmittal number 22-63 of the possible 
sale, under Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, of up to 
one hundred twenty (120) AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air 
Missiles (AMRAAM); and ten (10) AMRAAM C-8 Guidance Sections. Also 
included were spare AIM-120 control sections and containers; AIM-120C 
Captive Air Training Missiles (CATM); other spare parts, consumables, 
accessories, and repair/return support; classified software; books, 
technical documentation, and other publications; training and training 
equipment; munitions support and support equipment; and other related 
elements of logistical and program support. The estimated total cost 
was $380 million. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $358 
million of this total.
    This transmittal notifies the inclusion of the following MDE items: 
one hundred fifty-nine (159) AIM-120D-3 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-
Air Missiles (AMRAAM); one (1) AMRAAM D-3 guidance section; and one (1) 
AIM-120D Integrated Test Vehicle. The following non-MDE items will also 
be included: weapon system support, including software; and KGV-135A 
COMSEC chips. The estimated total value of the new items and services 
is $509 million. The estimated non-MDE value will increase by $30 
million to a revised $52 million. The estimated total case value will 
increase by $509 million to a revised $889 million. MDE constitutes 
$837 million of this total.
    (iv) Significance: This notification is being provided because the 
additional MDE and non-MDE items represent an increase in capability 
over what was previously notified. The proposed sale will improve 
Belgium's capability to meet current and future threats by maintaining 
its F-35 fleet in combat-ready status and providing a credible 
deterrent to regional threats.
    (v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign 
policy and national security objectives of the United States (U.S.) by 
improving the security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political 
stability and economic progress in Europe.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology:
    The AIM-120D-series Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile 
(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 KGV-135A is a high-speed, general purpose encryptor/decryptor 
module used for wideband data encryption.
