related elements of logistics support.
The estimated cost is $421 million.
Japan is one of the major political and
economic powers in East Asia and the
Western Pacific and a key ally of the
United States in ensuring the peace and
stability of this region. The U.S.
Government shares bases and facilities
in Japan. This proposed sale is
consistent with U.S. objectives and with
the 1960 Treaty of Mutual Cooperation
and Security.
The proposed sale of AEGIS
components to Japan will contribute to
U.S. security objectives by providing a
significantly improved Air Warfare
capability. This sale will enhance
Japan’s Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)
capabilities by modernizing and
upgrading the AEGIS technology on its
two Atago-class destroyers. The
Government of Japan can easily
integrate the capabilities of these
upgraded AEGIS Weapon Systems into
its concept of operations. Japan 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 principal contractor will be
Lockheed Martin MS2 in Mooretown,
New Jersey. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require multiple trips to Japan
involving six U.S. Government and ten
contractor representatives for technical
reviews/support, programs
management, and training over a period
of three years.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

2. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures which
might reduce weapon system
effectiveness or be used in the
development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
