POLICY JUSTIFICATION

France--E-2C Hawkeye Sustainment Support

    The Government of France has requested to buy additional non-MDE E-
2C Hawkeye sustainment items and services that will be added to a 
previously implemented case. The original Foreign Military Sales (FMS) 
case, valued at $99.6 million, included E-2C Hawkeye sustainment 
support. Therefore, this notification is for E-2C Hawkeye sustainment 
support, which includes an Engine Component Improvement Program (CIP); 
software updates; technical publications; U.S. Government, and 
contractor technical and product support and assistance; and other 
related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total 
cost is $160 million.
    This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national 
security objectives of the U.S. by helping to improve the security of a 
NATO Ally that is an important force for political stability and 
economic progress in Europe.
    The proposed sale will improve France's capability to meet current 
and future threats in the European domain by maintaining its E-2C fleet 
in fully mission-capable status and sustain interoperability with U.S. 
and NATO forces. France will have no difficulty absorbing these 
articles and 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 U.S. contractor will be Northrop Grumman, Melbourne, 
FL. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with 
this potential sale.
    Implementation of the proposed sale will require occasional 
government personnel to visit France on a temporary basis and one 
contractor personnel to be permanently assigned in France in 
conjunction with program technical oversight and support requirements, 
including program and technical reviews as well as training and 
maintenance support.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
