POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Turkey—Patriot Missile System and
Related Support and Equipment
Turkey has requested the possible sale
of four (4) AN/MPQ–65 Radar Sets, four
(4) Engagement Control Stations, ten
(10) Antenna Mast Groups (AMGs),
twenty (20) M903 Launching Stations,
eighty (80) Patriot MIM–104E Guidance
Enhanced Missiles (GEM–T) missiles
with canisters, sixty (60) PAC–3 Missile
Segment Enhancement (MSE) missiles,
and five (5) Electrical Power Plant (EPP)
III. Also included with this request are
communications equipment, tools and
test equipment, range and test programs,
support equipment, prime movers,
generators, publications and technical
documentation, training equipment,
spare and repair parts, personnel
training, Technical Assistance Field
Team (TAFT), U.S. Government and
contractor technical, engineering, and
logistics support services, Systems
Integration and Checkout (SICO), field
office support, and other related
elements of logistics and program
support. The total estimated program
cost is $3.5 billion.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by improving the
security of a key NATO Ally on the
front lines of the fight against terrorism.
Turkey is a member of and critical
enabling platform for the Defeat-ISIS
campaign and continues to be an
essential element of our National
Security Strategy and National Defense
Strategy efforts to compete against great
powers in both Europe and the Middle
East. The TPY–2 radar site that Turkey
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
hosts is important to the European
Phased Adaptive Approach and to
efforts to protect Allies and partners
against growing Iranian ballistic missile
threats. This sale is consistent with U.S.
initiatives to provide key allies with
modern systems capable of being
networked to defend against regional
instability. The proposed sale will
enhance Turkey’s interoperability with
the United States and NATO, making it
a more valuable partner in an
increasingly important area of the
world.
Turkey will use Patriot to improve its
missile defense capability, defend its
territorial integrity, and deter regional
threats. The proposed sale will increase
the defensive capabilities of the Turkey
military to guard against hostile
aggression and shield NATO Allies who
might train and operate within Turkey’s
borders. Turkey should have no
difficulty absorbing this system into its
armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The prime contractors will be
Raytheon Corporation in Andover,
Massachusetts, and Lockheed-Martin in
Dallas, Texas. The purchaser requested
offsets. At this time offset agreements
are undetermined and will be defined in
negotiations between the purchaser and
contractors.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require approximately 25 U.S.
Government and 40 contractor
representatives to travel to Turkey for an
extended period for equipment deprocessing/fielding, system checkout,
training, and technical and logistics
support.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
