POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Ukraine--F-16 Sustainment Services

    The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy the Joint Mission 
Planning System (JMPS); AN/PYQ-10 Simple Key Loaders (SKL); minor 
modifications and maintenance support; engine Component Improvement 
Program (CIP); spare and repair parts, consumables, and accessories; 
repair and return support; weapons software, weapons software support 
equipment, and classified and unclassified software and delivery 
support; classified and unclassified publications and documentation; 
personnel training and training equipment; studies and surveys; U.S. 
Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support 
services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. 
The estimated total cost is $266.4 million.
    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.
    This proposed sale will improve Ukraine's capability to meet 
current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-
defense and regional security missions with a more robust air defense 
capability. Ukraine will have no difficulty absorbing these articles 
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 principal contractors will be Sabena, located in Charleroi, 
Belgium; Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, located in Fort Worth, TX; and 
Pratt and Whitney, located in East Hartford, CT. The U.S. Government is 
not aware of any proposed offset agreements 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 Ukraine.
    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, as amended
Annex
Item No. vii
    (vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
    1. The AN/PYQ-10 Simple Key Loader (SKL) is a handheld device used 
for securely receiving, storing, and transferring data between 
compatible cryptographic and communications equipment.
    2. The Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) is a multi-platform, 
personal computer-based mission planning system.
    3. The highest level of classification of defense articles, 
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
    4. 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.
    5. A determination has been made that Ukraine can provide 
substantially the same degree of protection for the sensitive 
technology being released as the U.S. Government. This proposed sale is 
necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and national 
security objectives outlined in the Policy Justification.
    6. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal 
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of 
Ukraine.
