the Western Pacific. The strategic
location of this political and economic
power contributes significantly to
ensuring peace and economic stability
in the region. It is vital to the U.S.
national interest to assist our ally in
developing and maintaining a strong
and ready self-defense capability.
The proposed sale will improve
Australia’s capability to meet current
and future threats by suppressing and
destroying land- or sea-based radar

emitters associated with enemy air
defenses. Destruction or suppression of
enemy radar denies the adversary the
use of air defense systems, thereby
improving the survivability of its
tactical aircraft. Australia 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 contractors will be
Northrop Grumman Information
Systems (NGIS), Ridgecrest, CA. There
are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of the proposed sale
will require U.S. Government and
contractor representatives to visit
Australia on a temporary basis in
conjunction with program technical
oversight and support requirements,
including program and technical
reviews.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
