Asia and the Western Pacific and a key
partner of the United States in ensuring
peace and stability in that region. It is
vital to U.S. national interests to assist
the Republic of Korea in developing and
maintaining a strong and ready selfdefense capability.
This proposed sale will enable the
Republic of Korea to sustain and operate
its fleet of RQ-4 Block 30 remotely
piloted aircraft and will significantly
advance U.S. interests in
standardization with the Republic of
Korea’s Armed Forces. The potential
sale will further strengthen the
interoperability between the United
States and the Republic of Korea and
ensures the Alliance has a robust
intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance (ISR) capability on the
Korean peninsula. The ROK 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 principal contractor will be
Northrop Grumman Corporation located
in Palmdale, CA. There are no known
offset agreements proposed in
conjunction with this potential sale.
Any offset agreement will be defined in
negotiations between the Purchaser and
the prime contractor.
Implementation of the proposed sale
will not require the assignment of any
additional U.S. Government or
contractor representatives to the ROK.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
