Policy Justification

France--Upgrade of E-2C HAWKEYE Aircraft
    The Government of France has requested a possible sale of the 
upgrade of four E-2C HAWKEYE Aircraft with weapon system sensor 
upgrades with Mode 5/S Identification Friend or Foe (IFF). Included are 
5 APX-122 IFF Mode 5/S Interrogator Systems, 5 APX-123 IFF Mode 5/S 
Transponder Systems, and 5 ALQ-217 Electronic Support Measure Systems. 
In addition, this proposed sale will include related spare and repair 
parts, support and test equipment, weapon system support, development, 
publications and technical documentation, integration and testing, 
personnel training and equipment, U.S. Government and contractor 
engineering and logistics personnel support services, and other related 
elements of logistics support. The estimated cost is $180 million.
    France is one of the major political and economic powers in Europe 
and NATO and an ally of the United States in the pursuit of peace and 
stability. It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist France 
to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability.
    France's current IFF Interrogator, transponder, and electronic 
support measures is old technology and requires upgrading to the most 
current technology. The proposed sale will give France Mode 5/S 
capabilities. France intends to incorporate these systems into its E-2C 
HAWKEYE Navigation upgrade aircraft. France has significant experience 
in operating and maintaining modern weapon systems and infrastructure 
required and will have no difficulty absorbing these systems into its 
armed forces.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The prime contractor will be Northrop Grumman Corporation in 
Bethpage, New York. There are no known offset agreements proposed in 
connection with this potential sale.
    Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the 
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor 
representatives to France.
    There will be no adverse impact on the U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
