POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Kenya--MD 530 Aircraft
The Government of Kenya has requested a possible sale of twelve
(12) MD 530F weaponized aircraft to include twenty-four (24) Heavy
Machine Gun Pod (HMP) 400 systems; twenty-four (24) M260 rocket
launchers; four thousand and thirty-two (4,032) M151 rockets; one
thousand five hundred and thirty-six (1,536) 2.75-inch M274 smoke
signature warhead rockets; and four hundred thousand (400,000) rounds
of .50 caliber ammunition. Also included are communications and
navigation equipment, contractor logistics support, training, U.S.
Government technical assistance, airframe and weapon system spare parts
support, Contractor Field Service Representative (CFSR) support, and
Special Assigned Airlift Mission (SAAM) flight delivery support. The
total estimated cost is $253 million.
This proposed sale contributes to the foreign policy and national
security of the United States by improving the security of a strong
regional partner who is a regional security leader, undertaking
critical operations against al-Shabaab, and a troop contributor to the
African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
The proposed sale of the MD 530F helicopters, weapons, ammunition,
support items and technical support will advance Kenya's efforts to
conduct scout and attack rotary wing aircraft operations in support of
their AMISOM mission. The MD 530F will also replace Kenya's aging MD500
fleet, which is the current reconnaissance platform supporting Kenyan
ground forces. This sale will significantly enhance the Kenyan Army's
modernization efforts and increase interoperability with the U.S. Armed
Forces and other partners in the region. Additionally, a strong
national defense and dedicated military force will assist Kenya in its
efforts to maintain stability in East Africa.
Kenya will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its
armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be MD Helicopters, Mesa, AZ. There
are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of
approximately twelve (12) additional contractor representatives in
country for a period of 12 months.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
