Program (SRP); program management;
minor modifications and upgrades;
spares and repair/return parts;

elements of logistical and program
support. The estimated total cost is
$665.4 million.
This proposed sale is consistent with
U.S. law and policy as expressed in
Public Law 96–8.
This proposed sale serves U.S.
national, economic, and security
interests by supporting the recipient’s
continuing efforts to modernize its
armed forces and to maintain a credible
defensive capability. The proposed sale
will help improve the security of the
recipient and assist in maintaining
political stability, military balance, and
economic progress in the region.
The proposed sale will improve the
recipient’s capability to meet current
and future threats by ensuring
continued operability of its Surveillance
Radar Program (SRP), which provides
improved situational awareness and
threat warning capabilities critical to
regional security. The recipient will
have no difficulty absorbing these
services 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
Raytheon Technologies, Andover, MA.
There are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
may require assignment of U.S.
contractors to recipient in support of the
technical refresh actions during the
sustainment contract. The number of
contractors and duration of assignment
will be determined during contract
negotiations. It is anticipated that this
sale will not require assignment of
additional U.S. Government
