POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Switzerland--PATRIOT Sustainment
The Government of Switzerland has requested to buy sustainment
support for its five (5) PATRIOT Fire Units and missile inventory. The
following non-MDE items will be included: general electronic test
station equipment and program sets; Foreign Liaison Officer support;
international engineering services; Field Surveillance Program;
modification and upgrade kits; unclassified and classified repair and
return; classified missile processing; unclassified and classified
spares; transportation; publications and technical documentation;
training; U.S. Government and contractor technical, engineering, and
logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and
program support. The total estimated cost is $450 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the U.S. by helping to improve the security of a
friendly European nation that continues to be an important force for
political stability and economic progress within Europe.
The proposed sale supports Switzerland's goal of maintaining
national and territorial defense as well as interoperability with U.S.
and other European forces. Switzerland 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 prime contractors will be RTX Corporation, located in
Tewksbury, MA; Lockheed Martin, located in Dallas, TX; and Leidos,
located in Huntsville, AL. The purchaser typically requests offsets.
Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the
purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require no U.S.
Government representatives but will require approximately ten
contractor representatives to travel to Switzerland for an extended
period of time to provide technical support.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
