Policy Justification
Qatar--MH-60R Multi-Mission Helicopters
The Government of Qatar has requested a possible sale of 6 MH-60R
SEAHAWK Multi-Mission Helicopters, 13 T-700 GE 401C Engines (12
installed and 1 spare), communication equipment, support equipment,
spare and repair parts, tools and test equipment, technical data and
publications, personnel training and training equipment, U.S.
government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support
services, and other related elements of logistics support. The
estimated cost is $750 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and
national security of the United States by helping to improve the
security of a friendly country that has been, and continues to be, an
important force for political and economic progress in the Middle East.
Qatar is host to the US AFCENT forces and serves as a critical forward-
deployed location in the region.
The proposed sale of the MH-60R SEAHAWK helicopters will improve
Qatar's capability to meet current and future anti-surface warfare
threats. Qatar will use the enhanced capability to strengthen its
homeland defense. The MH-60R helicopters will supplement and eventually
replace the Qatar Air Force's aging maritime patrol helicopters. Qatar
will have no difficulty absorbing these helicopters into its armed
forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The prime contractors will be Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in
Stratford, Connecticut, Lockheed Martin in Owego, New York, and General
Electric in Lynn, Massachusetts. There are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of
ten contractor representatives to Qatar on an intermittent basis over
the life of the case to support delivery of the MH-60R helicopters and
provide support and equipment familiarization.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 11-26
Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section
36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The MH-60R SEAHAWK Multi-Mission Helicopter contains new
generation technology. It is equipped for a range of missions including
Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), Search and Rescue, Naval Gun Fire Support,
Surveillance, Communications Relay, Logistics Support, Personnel
Transfer, and Vertical Replenishment. The fully integrated glass
cockpit is equipped with four 8 inch by 10 inch full color multi-
function mission and flight displays that are night vision goggle
compatible and sun light readable. The pilots and aircrew have common
programmable keysets, mass memory unit, mission and flight management
computers, and MH-60R dedicated operational software. The navigation
suite includes the LN-100G inertial navigation system with embedded
global positioning system (GPS). The helicopter is equipped with
mission systems including the APS-153 Multi-Mode Radar, the AN/ALQ-210
Electronic Support Measures System (ESM), and the AN/AAS-44 Multi-
Spectral Targeting Forward Looking Infrared (MTS FLIR) system. Self
Protection systems include the AN/AAR-47 Missile Warning Set, AN/ALQ-
