This proposed sale will support the
foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States by

needs of one of the U.S.’s closest allies
in the INDOPACOM Theater. The
Republic of Korea is one of the major
political and economic powers in East
Asia and the Western Pacific and a key
partner of the United States in ensuring
peace and stability in the 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.
The proposed sale will improve the
Republic of Korea’s capability to meet

Jkt 250001
current and future threats by increasing
its interoperability with U.S. Air Force
and other coalition forces through an
improved datalink and Mode 5 IFF,
producing a more effective Alliance for
its F-16 fleet. The Republic of Korea will
have no difficulty absorbing this
upgrade 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 will be
Lockheed Martin Corporation, Bethesda,
MD. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale. Any offset
agreement will be defined in
negotiations between the Purchaser and
the prime contractor.

additional U.S. Government and/or
contractor representatives to Republic of
Korea above the current four (4)
incountry contractor representatives.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
