POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Tunisia--F-5 Avionics Upgrade
The Government of Tunisia has requested a possible sale of Block 1
Avionics Upgrades on Tunisia's fleet of 12 F-5 aircraft. The upgrade
includes 12 LN-260 Standard Positioning System Embedded Global
Positioning System/Inertial Navigation Systems (GPS/INS), Control
Display Unit, Electrical Power, and Environmental Control System,
repairs, Material Condition Inspection, publications and technical
documentation, personnel training and training equipment, U.S.
Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support
services, and other related elements of logistical and program support.
The estimated cost is $60 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 in North Africa.
The proposed sale will improve Tunisia's capability to deter
regional threats and strengthen its homeland defense, as well as
support counter-terrorism operations. These systems will bolster
Tunisia's ability to continue supporting its air and ground forces in
counter-terrorism and border security operations. Tunisia, which
already has F-5 aircraft in its inventory, will have no difficulty
absorbing this service and support 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 Northrop Grumman of St. Augustine,
Florida. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of
up to 23 U.S. contractor representatives to Tunisia for approximately
two years.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
