Singapore—F–16 Pilot Training
The Government of Singapore has
requested a possible sale of follow-on
support and services for Singapore’s
Continental United States (CONUS)
detachment PEACE CARVIN II (F–16)
based at Luke Air Force Base (AFB) for
a five-year period. MDE consists of 80
CATM–9M Captive Air Training
Missiles. Also included: Jet fuel,
containers, publications and technical
documentation, tactics manuals and
academic instruction, maintenance,
clothing and individual equipment,
execution and support of CONUS
exercise deployments, airlift and aerial
refueling, support equipment, spare and
repair parts, repair and return,
personnel training and training
equipment, U.S. Government and
contractor technical and logistics
support services, and other related
elements of logistical and program
support. The estimated cost is $251
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 economic
progress in Southeast Asia.
Singapore needs this training and
equipment to support its F–16 aircraft.
The continuation of this training

program will enable Singapore to
develop mission-ready and experienced
F–16 pilots. The well-established pilot
proficiency training program at Luke Air
Force Base will support professional
interaction and enhance operational
interoperability with U.S. forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be
Raytheon Corporation in Tucson,
Arizona. 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 and
contractor representatives to Singapore.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
