program support. The estimated total
cost is $2.8 billion.
This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy and national security of
the U.S. by improving the security of a
NATO ally which is an important force
for political stability and economic
progress in Europe.
The proposed sale of the PATRIOT
missile system will improve Spain’s
missile defense capability, increase the
defensive capabilities of its military,
and support its goal of improving
national and territorial defense and
interoperability with U.S. and NATO
forces. Spain will use the PATRIOT to
defend its territorial integrity and for
regional stability. Spain will have no
difficulty absorbing this equipment into
its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The prime contractors will be
Raytheon Corporation, Tewksbury, MA,
and Lockheed Martin, Dallas, TX. There
are no known offset agreements in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require U.S. Government and
contractor representatives to travel to
Spain for an extended period for system
checkout, training, and technical and
logistics support.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 23–58
Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of
Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the
Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The PATRIOT Advanced Capability
(PAC) 3 Missile Segment Enhanced
missile is a small, highly agile, kinetic
kill interceptor for defense against
tactical ballistic missiles, cruise
missiles, and air-breathing threats. The
MSE variant of the PAC–3 missile
represents the next generation in hit-tokill interceptors and provides expanded
battlespace against evolving threats. The
PAC–3 MSE improves upon the original
PAC–3 capability with a higher
performance solid rocket motor,
modified lethality enhancer, more
responsive control surfaces, upgraded
guidance software, and insensitive
munitions improvements.
2. M903 launcher stations are capable
of launching the entire family of
PATRIOT missiles. All new U.S.
launchers are M903 configuration.
3. The highest level of classification of
defense articles, components, and
PO 00000

services included in this potential sale
is SECRET.
4. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures that might
reduce weapon system effectiveness or
be used in the development of a system
with similar or advanced capabilities.
5. A determination has been made
that the Government of Spain can
provide substantially the same degree of
protection for the sensitive technology
being released as the U.S. Government.
This sale is necessary in furtherance of
the U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives outlined in the
Policy Justification.
6. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal have been
authorized for release and export to
Spain.
