POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Ukraine--PATRIOT Air Defense System Sustainment
The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy sustainment related
articles and services for the PATRIOT air defense system, including the
upgrade of M901 launchers to M903 configuration; classified and
unclassified prescribed load lists and authorized stockage lists for
ground support equipment; other necessary services, ancillaries, spare
parts, support, training, and accessories; and other related elements
of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $105
million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States (U.S.) by improving the
security of a partner country that is a force for political stability
and economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve Ukraine's ability to meet current
and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defense and
regional security missions with a more robust local sustainment
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 RTX Corporation, located in
Arlington, VA, and Lockheed Martin, located in Bethesda, MD. 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
approximately five additional U.S. Government and fifteen U.S.
contractor representatives to the European Combatant Command for the
duration of up to one month to support training and periodic meetings.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 25-91
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 PATRIOT air defense system contains sensitive and critical
technology. The M903 upgrade will allow for deployment of all the
munitions fieldable with the M902 configuration as well as the PATRIOT
Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhanced (MSE) munition.
The MSE variant of the PAC-3 is the next generation of hit-to-kill
interceptors and provides expanded battlespace against evolving
threats.
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 system
effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
4. 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.
5. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of
Ukraine.
