POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Government of Finland—F–18 Mid-Life
Upgrade Program
The Government of Finland has
requested a possible sale of follow-on
equipment and support for Finland’s F/
A–18 Mid-Life Upgrade (MLU) program,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:45 Dec 13, 2016
Jkt 241001
consisting of: Ninety (90)
Multifunctional Information
Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio
System (MIDS–JTRS) variant(s). The
proposed program support also includes
software test and integration center
upgrades, flight testing, spare and repair
parts, support and test equipment,
transportation, publications and
technical documentation, personnel
training and training equipment, U.S.
Government and contractor technical
and logistics support services, and other
related elements of logistics support.
Total estimated program cost is $156
million.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United State by helping
to improve the security of a friendly
country which has been and continues
to be an important force for political
stability and economic progress in
Europe.
The Finnish Air Force (FAF) intend to
purchase this MLU program equipment
and services to extend the useful life of
its F/A–18 fighter aircraft and enhance
their survivability and communications
connectivity. The FDF needs this
upgrade to keep pace with technology
advances in sensors, weaponry, and
communications. Finland has extensive
experience operating the F/A–18 aircraft
and will have no difficulty
incorporating the upgraded capabilities
into its forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be
Raytheon in Waltham, Massachusetts;
Lockheed Martin in Bethesda,
Maryland; The Boeing Company in St.
Louis, Missouri; BAE North America in
Arlington, Virginia; General Electric in
Fairfield, Connecticut; General
Dynamics in West Falls Church,
Virginia; Northrop Grumman in Falls
Church, Virginia; Rockwell Collins in
Cedar rapids, Iowa; ViaSat in Carlsbad,
California; and Data Link Solutions in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. There are no known
offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require multiple trips to Finland
involving U.S. Government and
contractor representatives for technical
reviews, support, and training.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
