POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Ukraine--HAWK Phase III Missile System Sustainment
The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy sustainment-related
articles and services for the HAWK Phase III missile system, including
engineering and integration for communications and interoperability;
refurbishment and system overhaul of HAWK air defense fire units;
missile recertification components; tool kits; test equipment; support
equipment; technical documentation; spare parts; training; U.S.
Government and contractor technical and field office support; and other
related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total
cost is $138 million.
The Secretary of State has determined and provided detailed
justification that an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale
to the Government of Ukraine of the above defense articles and services
in the national security interests of the U.S., thereby waiving the
congressional review requirements under Section 36(b) of the Arms
Export Control Act, as amended.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and
national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a
partner country that is a force for political stability and economic
progress in Europe.
Ukraine has an urgent need to increase its capabilities to defend
against Russian missile strikes and the aerial capabilities of Russian
forces. Maintaining and sustaining the HAWK missile system will enhance
Ukraine's ability to defend its people and protect critical national
infrastructure.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be RTX Corporation, located in
Andover, MA, and PROJECTXYZ, located in Huntsville, AL. Equipment will
be supplied from a combination of U.S. Army stock, country donations,
Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS), and new production. There are no known
offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require temporary duty
travel of an estimated 5 U.S. Government and 15 contractor
representatives to Europe to support HAWK system training and
sustainment.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
