A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed enhancement or upgrade of sensitivity of technology or capability of certain major defense equipment for the Government of Israel.
This joint resolution prohibits the U.S. government from proceeding with a specific upgrade to Israel's defense equipment: the addition of KMU-556 J/B M-Code GPS technology with Strategic Anti-jam Beamforming Receiver (SABR) capability. It directly affects the proposed sale described in Transmittal No. 0B-24, which was submitted to Congress under the Arms Export Control Act. The bill blocks this particular enhancement by requiring congressional disapproval before the upgrade can be implemented.
