POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Greece--Aerosonde Uncrewed Aircraft Systems and Armored Security
Vehicles
The Government of Greece has requested to buy Aerosonde Uncrewed
Aircraft Systems (UAS) with Lycoming heavy-fuel engines; Global
Positioning System (GPS) with Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing
Module (SAASM) or M-Code; TASE400 Long-Range Spotters; avionics; video
and telemetry datalink subsystems; Ground Control Stations; ground data
terminals; launch and recovery trailers; ground support equipment;
``fly as you drive'' M1117 ASV interface kits and integration; initial
spares package; initial spares replenishment; new equipment training;
program management support; contractor logistics support and Field
Service Representative support; technical data and publications;
quality assurance services; U.S. Government and contractor engineering,
technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements
of logistics and program support, 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 $99.99
million ($0 in MDE), included M1117 wheeled Armored Security Vehicles
(ASV) (through the Excess Defense Article program); MK19 Modification
(MOD) 4 Up-Gunned Weapon Systems (UGWS); Concurrent Spare Parts (CSP)
packages; spare barrels; U.S. Government and contractor vehicle spare
parts; vehicle Special Tools and Test Equipment (STTE); vehicle Basic
Issue Items (BII); Simplified Nonstandard Acquisition Program (SNAP)
spare parts; U.S. Government case management and technical assistance;
facility-required equipment; New Equipment Training (NET); Field
Service Representative support; Joint Visual Inspection with U.S. Army
Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) technical assistance;
Packaging, Crating, and Handling with follow-on transportation; and
other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated
total cost is $130 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security of the U.S. by improving the security of a NATO Ally that
continues to be a force for political and economic stability in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve Greece's capability to deter current
and future threats, support coalition operations, and increase
interoperability with the U.S. Greece 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 Textron Systems, located in Hunt
Valley, MD. There are no known offset agreements in connection with
this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require approximately
eighteen U.S. Government and/or eighteen contractor representatives to
travel to Greece for an extended period for equipment de-processing and
fielding, system checkout, training, and technical and logistics
support.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 24-108
Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section
36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The NovAtel OEM625S Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver is
a small form factor combination of robust Selective Availability Anti-
Spoofing Module (SAASM) GPS positioning. When keyed, the OEM625S
provides a Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Precise Positioning System (PPS)
solution.
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 Greece can provide 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 are
authorized
[[Page 1156]]
for release and export to the Government of Greece.
