POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Norway--C-130J Sustainment
The Government of Norway has requested continued sustainment and
associated services for four (4) C-130J aircraft beyond Block 6 through
2028. Included are Joint Mission Planning Systems (JMPS); aircraft
components, spare parts, consumables, and accessories; repair and
return support; aircraft support and support equipment; unclassified
publications and technical documentation; software delivery and
support; unclassified Computer Program Identification Number (CPIN)
systems; telecommunications support; minor modifications, maintenance
and maintenance support; U.S. Government and contractor engineering,
technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements
of logistical and program support. The estimated total cost is $166
million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and
national security objectives of the United States by improving the
security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political stability and
economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve Norway's capability to meet current
and future threats by bolstering operational readiness while enhancing
air and defense capabilities with a modernized fleet. Norway already
has C-130Js and 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, Marietta, GA. The
purchaser typically requests offsets. Any offset agreement would be
defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Norway.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness because
of this proposed sale.
