and computer packages; technical and
logistics support services;
transportation; spare parts, materials,
equipment, and components; and other
related elements of logistical and
program support. The estimated total

This proposed sale will support

important force for political stability

East.
The proposed sale will improve
Egypt’s capacity to sustain security
operations and strengthen its internal
and external defense capabilities. The
proposed sale will assist the
Government of Egypt’s maritime patrol
and interdiction efforts to contribute to
regional maritime security efforts in the
Mediterranean and Red Sea. Egypt will
have no difficulty absorbing this
equipment 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 contractor will be
Swiftships, of Morgan City, LA. There
are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require multiple trips to Egypt
involving one (1) U.S. Government
representative and three (3) contractor
representatives for approximately three
(3) years for program management,
program and technical reviews, training,
maintenance support, and site surveys.
There will be no adverse impact on
