 BILLING CODE 5001-06-C
Transmittal No. 17-0A

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

    (i) Purchaser: Australia
    (ii) Sec. 36(b)(1), AECA Transmittal No.: 09-36
    Date: 17 July 2009
    Military Department: Air Force
    (iii) Description: On 17 July 2009, Congress was notified by 
Congressional certification transmittal number 09-36 of the Government 
of Australia's request to continue participation in the USAF/Boeing 
Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership (GSP), which consists of 
support for Australia's fleet of four (4) Boeing C-17A Globemaster III 
cargo aircraft, contractor technical and logistics support services, 
support equipment, spare and repair parts, and other related elements 
of logistics support. The estimated cost is $300 million. Major Defense 
Equipment (MDE) constituted $0 million of the total cost.
    Transmittal 14-0C reported the inclusion of additional Contractor 
Logistics Support for Australia's fleet of C-17 Globemaster III cargo 
aircraft, which had increased from four (4) to six (6). This change did 
not result in any increase in MDE, but increased the total case value 
from $300 to $450 million.
    This transmittal reports the further inclusion of additional 
funding to maintain Australia's participation in the USAF/Boeing 
Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership (GSP) through 2022. 
Additionally, Australia's fleet of C-17A Globemaster III cargo aircraft 
has increased from six (6) to eight (8). Support includes contractor 
technical and logistics support services, support equipment, spare and 
repair parts, and other related elements of logistics support. The case 
value will increase from $450 million to $850 million but will not 
result in an increase in the value of MDE.
    (iv) Significance: The proposed sale will allow Australia to 
effectively maintain its current force projection

capability that enhances interoperability with U.S. forces well into 
the future.
    (v) Justification: This sale will contribute to the foreign policy 
and national security of the United States by helping to improve the 
security of an important major non-NATO ally and partner which 
contributes significantly to peacekeeping, humanitarian, and combat 
operations around the world.
