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.
