(iii) (U) Significance: This notification is being provided to report the inclusion of MDE that were not enumerated at the time of the original notification. Inclusion of these items of MDE/nonMDE results in an increase in capability over what was originally notified. This equipment will support the requested weapon system, support the capabilities of Qatar’s F–15QA fleet, and contribute to interoperability with the United States. (iv) (U) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States. Qatar is an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Arabian Gulf region. The procurement of SDBs, MS–110 Retrofit Kits, and associated materiel/services will significantly improve Qatar’s defense capabilities to meet current and future threats and deter regional aggression. (v) (U) Sensitivity of Technology: 1. The GBU–39/B Small Diameter Bomb Increment I (SDB I) is a 250pound weapon designed as a small, all weather, autonomous, conventional, airto-ground, precision glide weapon able to strike fixed and stationary relocatable targets from standoff range. The SDB I weapon system consists of the weapons, the BRU–61/A (4- place pneumatic carriage system), shipping and handling containers for a single weapon and the BRU–61/A either empty E:\FR\FM\24APN1.SGM 24APN1 24774 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 78 / Monday, April 24, 2023 / Notices or loaded, and a weapon planning module. It has integrated diamond-back type wings that deploy after release, which increase the glide time and therefore maximum range. The SDB I Anti-Jam Global Positioning System aided Inertial Navigation System (AJGPS/INS) provides guidance to the coordinates of a stationary target. The payload/warhead is a very effective multipurpose penetrating and blast fragmentation warhead couples with a cockpit selectable electronic fuze. Its size and accuracy allow for an effective munition with less collateral damage. A proximity sensor provides height of burst capability. 2. An MS–110 Retrofit kit converts a DB–110 into an MS–110. The MS–110 is a Non-Program of Record tactical reconnaissance pod with long range, day/night, multi-spectral sensor technology. The multi-spectral sensor lets the end user see color and better distinguish subtle features that a DB– 110’s dual band imagery cannot. The pod can transmit imagery via a datalink to ground-stations for near-real time analysis and exploitation. The pod is designed for carriage on fighter jets. There are no advanced technologies in the system, subsystems, equipment or technical manuals that could be exploited by a technologically-advanced adversary.

    The replacement or upgrading of the equipment to MDE did not result 
in a change to the estimated cost of MDE of $11.5 billion. The total 
estimated case value remained $21.1 billion.
    On November 28, 2018, Congress was notified by Congressional 
certification transmittal number 0L-18 reported the inclusion of 
additional training assets as MDE to support the previously notified 
AGM-65 (Maverick) missiles: five (5) TGM-65 Maverick-Missile Aircrew 
Trainer; one (1) TGM-65 Maverick-Missile Load Trainer; and one (1) TGM-

additional MDE and non-MDE items are valued at $35 million in MDE and 
$220 million in non-MDE. However, the total estimated case value will 
remain $21.1 billion.
    (iii) (U) Significance: This notification is being provided to 
report the inclusion of MDE that were not enumerated at the time of the 
original notification. Inclusion of these items of MDE/non-MDE results 
in an increase in capability over what was originally notified. This 
equipment will support the requested weapon system, support the 
capabilities of Qatar's F-15QA fleet, and contribute to 
interoperability with the United States.
    (iv) (U) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign 
policy and national security objectives of the United States. Qatar is 
an important force for political stability and economic progress in the 
Arabian Gulf region. The procurement of SDBs, MS-110 Retrofit Kits, and 
associated materiel/services will significantly improve Qatar's defense 
capabilities to meet current and future threats and deter regional 
aggression.
    (v) (U) Sensitivity of Technology:
    1. The GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb Increment I (SDB I) is a 250-
pound weapon designed as a small, all weather, autonomous, 
conventional, air-to-ground, precision glide weapon able to strike 
fixed and stationary re-locatable targets from standoff range. The SDB 
I weapon system consists of the weapons, the BRU-61/A (4- place 
pneumatic carriage system), shipping and handling containers for a 
single weapon and the BRU-61/A either empty

[[Page 24774]]

or loaded, and a weapon planning module. It has integrated diamond-back 
type wings that deploy after release, which increase the glide time and 
therefore maximum range. The SDB I Anti-Jam Global Positioning System 
aided Inertial Navigation System (AJGPS/INS) provides guidance to the 
coordinates of a stationary target. The payload/warhead is a very 
effective multipurpose penetrating and blast fragmentation warhead 
couples with a cockpit selectable electronic fuze. Its size and 
accuracy allow for an effective munition with less collateral damage. A 
proximity sensor provides height of burst capability.
    2. An MS-110 Retrofit kit converts a DB-110 into an MS-110. The MS-
110 is a Non-Program of Record tactical reconnaissance pod with long 
range, day/night, multi-spectral sensor technology. The multi-spectral 
sensor lets the end user see color and better distinguish subtle 
features that a DB-110's dual band imagery cannot. The pod can transmit 
imagery via a datalink to ground-stations for near-real time analysis 
and exploitation. The pod is designed for carriage on fighter jets. 
There are no advanced technologies in the system, subsystems, equipment 
or technical manuals that could be exploited by a technologically-
advanced adversary.
