POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Pakistan--F-16 Case for Sustainment
The Government of Pakistan has requested to consolidate prior F-16
sustainment and support cases to support the Pakistan Air Force F-16
fleet by reducing duplicate case activities and adding additional
continued support elements. Included are U.S. Government and contractor
engineering, technical, and logistics services for follow-on support of
Pakistan's F-16 fleet to include participation in F-16 Aircraft
Structural Integrity Program, Electronic Combat International Security
Assistance Program, International Engine Management Program, Engine
Component Improvement Program, and other technical coordination groups;
aircraft and engine hardware and software modifications and support;
aircraft and engine spare repair/return parts, accessories and support
equipment; classified and unclassified software and software support;
publications, manuals, and technical documentation; precision
measurement, calibration, lab equipment, and technical support
services; studies and surveys; and other related elements of aircraft
maintenance and program support. The estimated total cost is $450
million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a
partner nation that is a force for political stability in the region by
allowing Pakistan to retain interoperability with U.S. and coalition
forces in ongoing counterterrorism efforts and in preparation for
future contingency operations.
The proposed sale will improve Pakistan's capability to meet
current and future threats by continuing the sustainment of its F-16
fleet, which is the Pakistan Air Force's premier multi-role jet fighter
and greatly improves Pakistan's ability to project combat power in
support of counterterrorism through its robust air-to-ground
capability. Pakistan 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 contractor will be Lockheed Martin Corporation, Fort
Worth, TX. There are no known offsets proposed in conjunction with this
sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Pakistan.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
