On February 27, 2023, Congress was notified by Congressional certification transmittal number 22–0W of the MDE inclusion of up to an additional sixtytwo (62) SM–2 Block IIIB missiles in tactical and telemetered configurations. Also included were MK 13 canisters; spare parts and associated containers; personal training and training equipment; publications and technical data; U.S. Government and contractor technical assistance; and other related elements of logistics and program support.

The nonMDE estimated value increased from $810.6 million to $850.6 million. The total estimated case value increased by $300 million to $1.48 billion. This transmittal notifies: 1) the MDE inclusion of an additional one hundredten (110) MK 54 Mod 0 Lightweight Torpedoes (LWT) in the form of conversion kits for the Spanish Navy’s MK 46 LWTs; and 2) the replacement of the previously notified additional up to sixty-two (62) SM–2 Block IIIB missiles with up to sixty-two (62) SM–2 Block IIIC missiles.

(iv) Significance: The inclusion of this MDE represents an increase in capability over what was previously notified. The proposed amendment will support Spain’s Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability by providing 50 MK 54 Conversion Kits for use with surface ships and 60 Conversion Kits for use on helicopters. (v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the U.S. by improving the security of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Ally, which is an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe. It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist Spain in developing and maintaining a strong and ready selfdefense capability. (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The SM–2 Block IIIC Active Missile maximizes existing SM–6 Block I active and SM–2 semi-active missile technology to deliver a low cost, medium range dual mode active/semiactive missile. Improvements to the Guidance Section, communications plate and steering control section are planned to address obsolescence. The Sensitivity of Technology Statement contained in the original notification applies to additional items reported here. The highest level of classification of defense articles, components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
