POLICY JUSTIFICATION
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Israel—KC–46A Aerial Refueling
Aircraft
The Government of Israel has
requested to buy up to eight (8) KC-46
aircraft; up to seventeen (17) PW4062
turbofan engines (16 installed, 1 spare);
and up to eighteen (18) MAGR 2K-GPS
SAASM receivers (16 installed, 2
spares). Also included are AN/ARC-210
U/VHF radios, APX-119 Identification
Friend or Foe transponders, initial
spares and repair parts, consumables,
support equipment, technical data,
engineering change proposals,
publications, Field Service
Representatives (FSRs), repair and
return, depot maintenance, training and
training equipment, contractor technical
and logistics personnel services, U.S.
Government and contractor
representative support, Group A and B
installation for subsystems, flight test
and certification, other related elements
of logistics support and training. The
total estimated program cost is $2.4
billion.
The United States is committed to the
security of Israel, and it is vital to U.S.
national interests to assist Israel to
develop and maintain a strong and
ready self-defense capability. This
proposed sale is consistent with those
objectives.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
The proposed sale further supports
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by allowing Israel
to provide a redundant capability to
U.S. assets within the region, potentially
freeing U.S. assets for use elsewhere
during times of war. Aerial refueling
and strategic airlift are consistently
cited as significant shortfalls for our
allies. In addition, the sale improves
Israel’s national security posture as a
key U.S. ally. Israel will have no
difficulty absorbing this equipment into
its armed forces.
The proposed equipment and support
will not alter the basic military balance
in the region.
The principal contractors will be
Boeing Corporation, Everett, WA, for the
aircraft; and Raytheon Company,
Waltham, MA, for the MAGR 2K. There
are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require the assignment of two U.S.
field service/contractor representatives
to Israel.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

performance, all-in-view GPS satellite
tracking and GPS integrity.
3. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
to develop countermeasures or
equivalent systems which might reduce
system effectiveness or be used in the
development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
4. A determination has been made
that Israel can provide substantially 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.
5. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal have been
authorized for release and export to the
Government of Israel.
