POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Israel--Namer Armored Personnel Carrier Power Packs Less Transmissions 
and Integrated Logistics Support

    The Government of Israel has requested to buy Namer Armored 
Personnel Carrier (APC-MT883) Power Packs Less Transmissions (NPPLTs) 
in full and lite configurations. Also included is an integrated 
logistics support package that includes special tools for C-Level 
maintenance and transmission parts; control and diagnostic systems; 
preservation and packaging; containers; configuration management; 
technical manuals, spare parts catalogs, other documentation, and 
publications; U.S. Government and contractor technical assistance and 
contractor non-recurring engineering (NRE); and other related elements 
of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $740 
million.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the U.S. by helping to improve the security of a 
strategic regional partner that has been, and continues to be, an 
important force for political stability and economic progress in the 
Middle East.
    The proposed sale will improve Israel's capability to meet current 
and future threats by improving its ability to defend its borders, 
vital infrastructure, and population centers. These power packs will be 
used on Namer Armored Personnel Carriers (APC-MT883) that were fielded 
in 2008. 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.
