The U.S. State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Spain of M982A1 Excalibur tactical projectiles and related equipment for an estimated cost of $48.2 million.

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

Spain has requested to buy 153 M982A1 Excalibur tactical projectiles that will be added to a previously implemented case whose value was under the congressional notification threshold. The original FMS case, valued at $21.87 million, included 118 M982A1 Excalibur tactical projectiles. This notification is for a combined total of 271 M982A1 Excalibur tactical projectiles, the DSCA said in a release.

The principal contractor will be Raytheon Company Missile Systems, McAlester, OK.
