Government of Peru—Reconditioned
Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicles
The Government of Peru has
requested a possible sale of one hundred
and seventy-eight (178) Reconditioned
Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicles; one
hundred and seventy-eight (178) M2
Flex .50 Cal Machine Guns; and one

are driver’s vision enhancers; Global

Contractor Field Service Representative

Total estimated program cost is $668
million.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy objectives of the
United States by helping to improve the
security of an important partner which
has been and continues to be an
important force for political stability,
peace, and economic progress in South
America. It is in the U.S. national
security interest for Peru to field capable
forces and multi-role equipment for
border security, disaster response, and
to confront de-stabilizing internal
threats, such as the terrorist group
Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path).
Peru intends to use these defense
articles and services to modernize its
armed forces. This will contribute to the
Peruvian military’s goal of updating its
capabilities while further enhancing
interoperability between Peru, the
United States, and other allies and
partners. This acquisition would
support the first major step in Peru’s
acquisition strategy to build a multidimensional brigade by 2030. Peru will
have no difficulty absorbing this
equipment 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 for this program
is General Dynamics Land Systems.
There are no known offset agreements in
connect with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require the temporary assignment
of U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Peru for up to three
years.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

sensitive technologies or classified
material: 178 M1126 Stryker Infantry
Carrier Vehicles with M2 Flex .50 Cal
machine guns and Remote Weapon
Systems. The M1126 Stryker is an
infantry carrier vehicle transporting
nine soldiers, their mission equipment
and a crew of two consisting of a driver
and vehicle commander. It is equipped
with armor protection, M2 machine
guns and M6 smoke grenade launchers
for self-protection. The Stryker is an
eight-wheeled vehicle powered by a
350hp diesel engine. It incorporates a
central tire inflation system, run-flat
tires, and a vehicle height management
system. The Stryker is capable of
supporting a communications suite, a
Global Positioning System (GPS), and a
high frequency and near-term digital
radio systems. The Stryker is deployable
by C–130 aircraft and combat capable
upon arrival. The Stryker is capable of
self-deployment by highway and selfrecovery. It has a low noise level that
reduces crew fatigue and enhances
survivability. It moves about the
battlefield quickly and is optimized for
close, complex, or urban terrain. The
Stryker program leverages nondevelopmental items with common
subsystems and components to quickly
acquire and filed these systems.
2. The AN/VAS–5 Driver’s Vision
Enhancer (DVE) is a compact thermal
camera providing armored vehicle
drivers with day or night time visual
awareness in clear or reduced vision
(fog, smoke, dust) situations. The system
provides the driver a 180 degree
viewing angle using a high resolution
infrared sensor and image stabilization
to reduce the effect of shock and
vibration. The viewer and monitor are
ruggedized for operation in tactical
environments. The system is
UNCLASSIFIED but considered
sensitive technology. If a technically
advanced adversary were to obtain
knowledge of the AN/VAS–5, the
information could be used to identify
ways to countering the system or
improve the adversary’s ability to avoid
detection by the system in low-visibility
environments. This is a low-level
concern because the thermal imaging
technology used in the AN/VAS–5 is
considered mature and available in
other industrial nation’s comparable
performance thresholds.
3. A determination has been made
that the recipient country can provide
the same degree of protection for the
sensitive technology being released as
the U.S. Government. This sale is
necessary in furtherance of the U.S.
foreign policy and national security
objectives outlined in the Policy
Justification.
