Egypt--Stinger Missiles
The Government of Egypt has requested to buy seven hundred twenty
(720) Stinger missiles for vehicle-based use on existing Avenger
systems, including twenty (20) Product Verification Flight Test (PVFT)
[[Page 51670]]
munitions. The following non-MDE items will also be included: spare and
repair parts; testing equipment; U.S. Government and contractor
engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other
related elements of logistical and program support. The total estimated
cost is $740 million.
This proposed sale will support U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives by helping to improve the security of a friendly
country that continues to be an important force for political stability
and economic growth in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve Egypt's capability to meet current
and future threats by enhancing Egypt's ability to defend itself
against regional malign actors and improve interoperability with
systems operated by U.S. forces and other regional security partners.
Egypt's continued investment in its defensive capabilities is crucial
to protecting its borders, transportation infrastructure, and its
residents. Egypt will have no difficulty absorbing Stinger missiles
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 RTX Corporation, located in
Tucson, AZ. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Egypt.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.

36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The Stinger-Reprogrammable Microprocessor (RMP) Block I Missile.
The Stinger missile is a lightweight, self-contained air defense system
that can be rapidly deployed by ground troops. Its seeker and guidance
systems enable the weapon to acquire, track and engage a target with
one shot.
2. The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
3. If a technologically advanced adversary were to obtain knowledge
of the specific hardware and software elements, the information could
be used to develop countermeasures that might reduce weapon system
effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
4. A determination has been made that the Government of Egypt can
provide substantially the same degree of protection for the sensitive
technology being released as the U.S. Government. This sale is
necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives outlined in the Policy Justification.
5. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of Egypt.
