The Defense Security Cooperation Agency has notified Congress after the sale was approve by the State Department.

The sale package includes MS-110 Recce Pods and AN/ASG-34 Infrared Search and Track equipment.

The Pentagon says the proposed sale will improve Indonesia’s capability to meet current and future threats by enabling it to provide increased deterrence and air defense coverage across a very complex air and maritime domain.

Boeing will be the main contractor and the FMS is estimated to cost $13.9 billion.
