Also included in the deal would be 34 AN/ALQ-99F(V) tactical jamming system pods, 22 CN-1717/A Interference Cancellation Systems (INCANS), 22 R-2674(C)/A Joint Tactical Terminal Receiver (JTTR) systems, 30 LAU-118 guided missile launchers, Command Launch Computer (CLC) for High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) and Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM), as well as spares, support, test equipment and documentation, according to a statement.
Congress would have to sign off on the deal for it to go through.
