Missiles. The retrofit and inclusion of
MDE not enumerated in the original

On November 22, 2019, Congress was
notified by Congressional certification
transmittal number 19–0P of the retrofit
of four (4) MQ–9A Block 1 to exportable
MQ–9A Block 5; the addition of four (4)
MQ–9A Block 5; and the addition of
fourteen (14) Embedded GPS/INS (EGI)
with GPS Security Devices. The retrofit
and inclusion of MDE not enumerated
in the original notification resulted in
the total notified cost of MDE increasing
to $1.055 billion. The total notified case
value remained $1.71 billion.
This transmittal reports the addition
of up to five (5) Mobile Ground Control
Stations (MDE). Also included are

enumerated in the original notification
will result in the total notified cost of

$1.71 billion.
(iv) Significance: This notification is
being provided to report the inclusion of
MDE and non-MDE articles and services

represents an increase in capability over
what was originally notified. The

provide France’s MQ–9 program with
the equipment necessary to support
capabilities that France is already
employing.

will support the foreign policy and
national security of the United States by
helping to improve the security of a
NATO ally which is an important force
for political stability and economic

MQ–9A Mobile Ground Control Station
(MGCS) enables a pilot to operate, in
real-time, a long-endurance, medium

that can be used for surveillance,
military reconnaissance, and targeting
missions. A data link is maintained that
uplink commands and downlink video
