POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Iraq--Country Wide Repeater System
The Government of Iraq has requested to buy Radio Access Points
(RAP), handheld dismounted radios; radio base station systems; radio
repeater systems; very high frequency vehicular radio systems; WiMax
systems; intermediate power amplifier base station systems;
intermediate power amplifier vehicular systems; Very Small Aperture
Terminals; installation materials and kits; routers; switches;
shelters; solar equipment; cameras and spare parts; personnel training
and training equipment; studies and surveys; Contractor Logistics
Support; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and
logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and
program support; repeater systems and installation kits; high-capacity
line of sight systems; RAP infrastructure (shelter, solar, camera, and
air conditioner); and IT components (router, switch, and rack) to
support a Country Wide Repeater System; and other related elements of
logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $100
million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security of the U.S. by helping to improve the security of a strategic
partner.
The proposed sale will improve Iraq's critical command-and-control
capabilities, bolstering its defense against regional threats. This
strengthens Iraq's ability to protect its borders, energy
infrastructure, and residents, while advancing U.S. security interests.
Iraq 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 contractor will be L3Harris Corporation, located in
Rochester, NY. 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 require the assignment of
two U.S. government and five U.S. contractor representatives to Iraq
for a duration of five years to support quarterly program management
reviews, provide engineering consulting and technical assessments for
equipment upgrades and growth of the CWRS, and to conduct in-country
training.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
