equipment, personnel training and training equipment, publications and 
technical data, U.S. Government and contractor engineering and 
logistics support services, and other related elements of logistics 
support. The estimated cost is $200 million.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to strengthen the 
U.S.-India strategic relationship and to improve the security of an 
important partner which continues to be an important force for 
political stability, peace, and economic progress in South Asia.
    This Harpoon missile system will be employed on the Indian Navy's 
Shishumar class submarine (Type-209) and will provide enhanced 
capabilities in defense of critical sea lines of communication. India 
has already purchased Harpoon missiles for integration on Indian Air 
Force Jaguar aircraft and Indian Navy P-8I maritime patrol aircraft. 
India will have no difficulty absorbing these additional missiles into 
its armed forces.
    This proposed sale of Harpoon missiles will not alter the basic 
military balance in the region.
    The principal contractors will be the Boeing Company in St Louis, 
Missouri; and Delex Systems Inc., in Vienna, Virginia. In accordance 
with the Indian Defense Procurement Policy, a contractor may be 
expected to conclude offset agreements with the Government of India but 
no offset agreement is currently known to have been 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 personnel to 
India. However, U.S. Government or contractor personnel in-country 
visits will be required on a temporary basis for program, technical, 
and management oversight and support requirements for approximately 
five years.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
