POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Israel--Eitan Powerpack Engines
The Government of Israel has requested to buy additional Eitan
8V199TE21-D powerpack engines and engine components that will be added
to a previously implemented case whose value was under the
congressional notification threshold. The original Foreign Military
Sales (FMS) case, valued at $85.5 million ($0 in MDE), included Eitan
8V199TE21-D powerpack engines and engine components; U.S. Government
and contractor technical assistance; contractor non-recurring
engineering; and other related elements of logistics and program
support. This notification is for a combined notification of non-MDE
Eitan 8V199TE21-D powerpack engines and engine components; U.S.
Government and contractor technical assistance; contractor non-
recurring engineering; and other related elements of logistics and
program support. The estimated total cost is $180 million.
The U.S. is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to
U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a
strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is
consistent with those objectives.
The proposed sale will enhance Israel's capability to meet current
and future threats by improving its ability to defend Israel's borders,
vital infrastructure, and population centers. This proposed sale will
increase the interoperability with U.S. forces and conveys U.S.
commitment to Israel's security and armed forces modernization. Israel
will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment 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 Rolls-Royce Solutions America,
Inc., located in Novi, MI. At this time, the U.S. Government is not
aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this
potential sale. Any offset agreement will 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 Israel.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
