Also included is technical assistance, non-standard books, publications, other Hellfire publications, integration support, and other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated total cost is $203 million. This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States 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 by building its long-term capacity to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity in order to meet its national defense requirements. France 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 prime contractor will be Lockheed Martin Corporation, Orlando, FL. There are no known offset agreements in connection with this potential sale. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of U.S. Government or contractor representatives to France. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
