L'Inde veut cesser d'être le premier importateur mondial d'armement
L'inde de veut cesser d'être le premier importateur mondial d'armement et porter d'ici cinq ans à 70% la part de son équipement militaire produite sur son sol, a indiqué mercredi le Premier ministre indien Narendra Modi lors du salon aéronautique et de défense de Bangalore.
Le Premier ministre, qui a promis de relancer l'investissement, en particulier grâce à sa campagne "Make in India", a assuré que son gouvernement favoriserait les fournisseurs produisant en Inde lorsqu'il s'agira d'octroyer des contrats militaires.
"Nous avons la réputation d'être le premier importateur d'équipement militaire au monde", a-t-il dit à l'occasion du salon Aero India qui se tient tous les deux ans à Bangalore.
"C'est peut-être une musique qui est familière à certains d'entre vous présents ici. Mais c'est un domaine dans lequel nous aimerions ne pas être numéro un", a-t-il ajouté.
"Nous réformons notre politique d'approvisionnement en matériel de défense et allons accorder une préférence nette au matériel fabriqué en Inde", a dit Modi devant des centaines d'industriels indiens et étrangers.
L'Inde exprime depuis des décennies sa volonté de réduire sa dépendance envers l'industrie de défense étrangère mais n'y est pas parvenue, le pays devant en outre faire face à un équipement en voie d'obsolescence.
Depuis son arrivée au pouvoir en mai, le gouvernement de Modi a relevé à 49% la participation que peut détenir un investisseur étranger dans un groupe de défense en Inde.
Le Premier ministre a indiqué vouloir porter de 40% actuellement à 70% d'ici 2020 la production d'équipement matériel produite sur son sol.
"Une nation disposant d'une forte industrie de défense ne sera pas uniquement plus sûre. Elle en retirera également d'importants bénéfices économiques", a dit Modi.
"Environ 60% de notre matériel de défense continue d'être importé et nous dépensons des dizaines de milliards de dollars dans des acquisitions à l'étranger", a-t-il poursuivi.
"Certaines études montrent qu'une réduction de 20% à 25% de nos importations pourrait créer directement 100.000 à 120.000 emplois hautement qualifiés en Inde".
Le salon de Bangalore réunit des centaines de groupes de la défense et de l'aéronautique pendant cinq jours, notamment Dassault, Airbus ou Boeing.

L&T completes deliveries of K9 Vajra-T SPHs to Indian Army
by Rahul Bedi
The Indian Army (IA) has received all 100 K9 Vajra-T 155 mm/52 calibre tracked self-propelled howitzers (SPHs) ordered from Indian private-sector defence manufacturer Larsen & Toubro (L&T) in May 2017.
L&T said in an 18 February statement that IA Chief of Staff General Manoj Mukund Naravane took delivery of the final unit of the Vajra-T – a variant of Hanwha Defense’s K9 Thunder SPH – at the company’s Armoured System Complex (ASC) in the western coastal town of Hazira in the state of Gujarat.
The INR43.66 billion (USD601.6 million) SPH contract, which was awarded to L&T by India’s Ministry of Defence (MoD), includes an engineering support package covering spares, documentation, and training. It also comprises the transfer of maintenance technology to the IA to support the 47-tonne SPHs during their entire service life.

L&T said the SPHs incorporate 50% indigenous content, which involved sourcing some 13,000 components from nearly 1,000 local manufacturers.
The Mumbai-based manufacturer said it has replaced 14 “critical systems” in the K9 Vajra-T to provide a “bespoke solution” for the requirements set out by the IA. No details were provided but industry officials told Janes that modifications were made to the platform’s automatic fire-control, direct-fire, and ammunition handling systems as well as to auxiliary powerpacks, air conditioning units, and nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) protection kits

F-21 Vs F-15EX: Will Indian Air Force Opt For Boeing F-15EX Over Lockheed F-21 Fighter Jets?
The US has pitched two of its advanced combat aircraft — F-15EX and F-21 to the Indian Air Force. But which of the two fighter jets i.e. -15EX or F-21 will be best suited for IAF?
To augment its fighter fleet, India has purchased 36 Dassault Rafales from France. Eleven of them have already been inducted into the IAF. Six more are scheduled to arrive this month.
The country has also moved forward with the development of its indigenous fourth-generation LCA Tejas fighters, which are expected to support the Rafales in carrying out future missions.
However, despite the presence of both the Rafales and Tejas, India may need more aircraft to thwart the challenges posed by ‘iron brothers’ China and Pakistan on northern and western fronts.
In order to address IAF’s requirements, New Delhi has been looking at a number of combat aircraft including Eurofighter Typhoons and Swedish Gripen fighters under the proposed MMRCA 2.0 contract. The US has pitched their F-15EX and F-21 fighters to India.
F-15EX
F-15EX
Aerospace giant Boeing earlier revealed that the US government had granted it a license to sell its newest heavy fighters, the F-15EXs to India. The fighters are the most advanced versions of the McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle all-weather tactical fighters.
The F-15 fighters were designed in 1967 to cater to the US Air Force’s need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. They made their first flight in 1972 before the official induction in 1976, after which it was exported to Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia.
The latest offer came in the back of Boeing providing India with 22 Apache attack helicopters and 15 Chinook helicopters through the Foreign Military Sales program of the US government.
Apparently, the fighters had been contenders for the Indian MMRCA contract and competing against French Rafales, Russian SU-35s, American F/A 18 Super Hornets & F-21s, and the Swedish Gripen.
F-21
F-21 Jets
On the other hand, Maryland-headquartered aerospace juggernaut Lockheed Martin has also offered their F-21 fighters to New Delhi for enhancing their aerial fleet.
The fighter reportedly boasts common components and technology from American fifth-generation stealth fighters like the F-35 Lightning II and F-22 Raptor, both of which are considered the most advanced fighters in the world.
The F-21 fighter could open up a massive ‘Make in India’ opportunity and will look to consolidate the strength of the world’s largest defense contractor, Lockheed Martin, and Indian conglomerate – Tata Group.
Moreover, the production of F-21s in India will boost thousands of jobs in the areas of engineering, program management, sustainment, and customer support.
The American aerospace firm will look to leverage technologies across its portfolio to deliver the F-21 at the most affordable price for New Delhi.
Reports suggest the F-21 will deliver an advanced single-engine, multi-role fighter at the most optimal Life Cycle Cost for the IAF. It will also have the longest service life of any competitor ranging to about 12,000 flight hours.
The fighters would be destined to bridge the critical operation gap for the IAF in combination with the Rafale and LCA Tejas fighter jets. The Lockheed F-21 fighters are also the only fighters across the globe that are capable of both probe/drogue and boom aerial fuelling capability.
In addition, the presence of Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFTs) on the aircraft and the combination of delivering greater range penetration and loiter staying power are major factors for the IAF to consider.
With the Boeing F-15EX fighters, however, the IAF will get a heavy-weight fighter that could strike deep in Pakistani territory and also possess the ability to operate in the high altitudes of Ladakh against China.
Most importantly, it will equip the IAF with tremendous speed, with the F-15EX fighters capable of reaching speeds of Mach 2.5.
It can fulfill a variety of roles ranging from air superiority, interception, deep penetration strikes against enemy infrastructure, strategic bombing, and ground attack.
Finally, no matter which one of the two aircraft — F-15EX and F-21 — India opts for, the country will get an advanced fighter jet to take on its adversaries.

After Initial Refusal, India To Buy 30 Armed MQ-9B Sea Guardian Drones From The US
The Indian Air Force (IAF), the Army, and the Navy are set to acquire a total of 30 armed versions of the US-made MQ-9B Sea Guardian drones in a deal estimated to be worth $3 billion, ThePrint reports. Last year, India had refused the offer.
The decision to procure the advanced drones comes ahead of US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s visit to India later this month.
According to the report, Austin’s visit could pave the way for the forthcoming meeting of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue between the US, India, Japan, and Australia.
MQ-9 Reaper
The news of the procurement of the modern drones comes after the Indian Navy had leased two MQ-9B Sea Guardian UAVs (a variant of Predator B) from the US last year.
The Navy had taken the drones for a period of a year to boost its intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities amid the border standoff with China in eastern Ladakh.
It is believed under the deal to procure 30 MQ-9 Reaper drones, the Indian Air Force, Army and Navy will all acquire 10 drones each.
Earlier, the deal for the 30 drones was on the cards under the Trump administration, however, India refused to succumb to the US’ constant push of concluding the deal.
Developed by American defense firm General Atomics, the MQ-9 Sea Guardian is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations.
The drones are reported to have an endurance of 48 hours and a range of over 6,000 nautical miles.
As reported by The Eurasian Times, India had previously rejected the deal citing high costs and vulnerability in well-defended airspace.

The Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced the signing of a contract with Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) for the supply of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) to the Indian Army.
The contract will see BDL supply 4,960 MILAN-2T ATGMs for $163m (Rs11.8bn).
According to the MoD, the contract will further boost the ‘Make in India’ initiative of India.
The initiative has been introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make India self-reliant and increase domestic defence manufacturing in the country.
In a statement, the MoD said: “This project is a big opportunity for the defence industry to showcase its capability and will be a step in the direction of achieving the goal of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ in the defence sector.”
The ministry said that the latest order is a ‘repeat order’ of a contract that was signed with BDL in March 2016.
Induction of the ATGMs is scheduled to be completed in three years.
MILAN is a portable medium-range, anti-tank weapon produced by BDL under licence from French firm MBDA Missile Systems in India.
Milan-2T is a Tandem Warhead anti-tank guided missile with 1,850m range. Both MILAN 2T and MILAN 3 missiles are armed with a tandem charge for use against reactive armour.
These ATGMs can be fired from ground and vehicle-based launchers. They can also be deployed in anti-tank role for both ‘offensive and defensive tasks’.
Last month, the Indian MoD said the army is in the process of procuring 556 augmented reality head-mounted display (ARHMD) systems.

Despite Rafale Jets & Fancy Choppers, Why Indian Air Force Is Still The Weakest Link In India’s Armed Forces?
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is facing a shortage of 405 pilots, the federal government recently informed the country’s Parliament. Junior defense minister Shripad Naik said in the lower house of Parliament that the number of pilots in IAF at present is 3,834 against the sanctioned strength of 4,239.
The IAF is facing a double whammy because it is not only facing an acute shortage of aircraft, but most of the existing aircraft will soon have to be retired as well since they have exhausted their lifetimes.
The force has been struggling to arrest the rapidly declining squadron strength, which currently stands at just 30 against the required strength of 42.
The latest statement from the Defence Ministry indicates the persistent and critical shortage of fighter pilots that IAF continues to face, with the trend of pilots leaving the force on a rise in the past five years.
According to the ministry’s reply to an application filed by a news outlet under the Right to Information Act last year, as many as 798 IAF pilots had resigned, of whom 289 had received No-objection Certificates (NOC) to fly private airlines.
The response from the ministry showed that the years 2016 and 2017 had been the worst, with 100 and 114 pilots quitting the Air Force, respectively.
With around 80 pilots quitting the service every year, the IAF is faced with the monumental challenge of keeping its operational capability seamless.
The data from the government shows the fighter aircraft-to-pilot ratio has been continuously declining. In contrast, two of India’s adversaries, Pakistan and China, have a far better pilot-aircraft ratio.
The trend of the IAF pilots choosing to work with private airlines is explained by a number of reasons, including less workload and more remuneration. According to reports, more than one-third of the pilots who quit the force received the NOC to fly private airlines. The pilots receive four times the amount for flying with a private airline.
Last year, Indian daily Hindustan Times had reported that the IAF is working on measures to prevent its pilots from leaving the service and joining private airlines that offer better salaries and perquisites. Even though the report didn’t mention any specific measure, it said that they will be made shortly, and could involve cooling-off periods and changes in pension plans.
Experts say that the high attrition rate is a huge setback for the IAF which spends huge money on imparting years of training to the fighter pilots, and this could negatively impact the operational efficiency of the force.
Indian Air Force – Other Issues
IAF has been one of the best-equipped air forces in Asia, but its operational capabilities have witnessed a constant decline over the last two decades. From the full squadron strength of 42 in the year 2002, IAF is reduced to only 30 in 2021, and the addition of two Rafale squadrons will not do much to address the shortfall.
This creates a capability imbalance between India and its two neighbors, and a two-front war could prove disastrous in such conditions, experts opine.
India’s troubled economy, which creates further financial constraints for the air force, will further stymie any efforts to modernize the force.
By 2024, the country is expected to retire the last of its MiG-21 squadrons and the replacement will consist of just a few squadrons, which will further reduce the strength of the force.
The addition of 36 Rafale jets, which is currently underway, is being celebrated as a significant achievement that could tilt the balance of power in the region. But experts say such assertion is outlandish.
China’s Western Theater Command, which is supposed to confront India in a possible war, consists of more than 200 fighter aircraft, both modern and legacy models. China could muster more squadrons from its other theater commands in the situation of a war with India.
On the other hand, Pakistan’s 350 fighters also pose a significant challenge and the combined threat from both could present an overwhelming situation for India.
Moreover, China and Pakistan operate a greater number of airborne tankers and early-warning surveillance aircraft (AWACS) than the Indian Air Force. The AWACS aircraft boost the combat capabilities of fighter jets significantly in any air battle, while the tankers enhance their range.
The Indian government has paid little attention to the importance of these aircraft in the last two decades, and with its army-centric approach to national defense, the capabilities of the air force were sidelined.
Experts believe the IAF, too, needs to set its priorities right. “The air force is basically a victim of its own hubris. If you keep changing a single-engine light fighter requirement since 2005 into constantly double-engine fighters that are too expensive for you, what else are you going to get? If you keep prioritizing platforms and that too hyper-expensive platforms over human beings this is what you are going to get,” says strategic affairs analyst Abhijit Iyer Mitra.
“In any modern air force, the first investment is in the human being, not in the platform. And the platform investment keeps pace with the human investment. Here it’s the absolute reverse,” he adds.
Other experts blame the excessive focus on the army as the frontline force in the defense of the country as a reason for the IAF getting little attention for the critical capabilities it requires. Although there have been other reasons, like budgetary considerations, the bureaucratic red tape involved in procurements, indecisiveness, and other things.
The world’s battlefields have transformed. Modern wars will be fought less by ground forces and more by space and air-based assets, according to military analysts. Therefore, the focus will have to be accordingly shifted to modernization and strengthening of the assets of the air force.
India has successfully tested its space-based capabilities with the ASAT test conducted a few years ago, and it is among a handful of nations capable of space launches. It’s now time to optimize both space and air assets, integrate and bring them to bear on the modern battlefield.

La marine indienne prête à sacrifier son troisième porte-avions pour six sous-marins nucléaires d’attaque
PAR LAURENT LAGNEAU · 30 MARS 2021
C’est non sans inquiétude que New Delhi voit l’ampleur que prend la présence chinoise dans l’océan Indien et dans les environs du détroit de Malacca, dans le cadre de la stratégie dite du « collier de perles », qui se traduit par l’installation de bases navales sur un axe allant de la Birmanie à Djibouti, en passant par le Bangladesh, le Sri Lanka et le Pakistan et le renforcement de liens militaires avec des pays frontaliers, comme le Népal.
Cette inquiétude est d’autant plus forte que l’industrie navale chinoise tourne à plein régime, au point que, depuis 2015, l’Armée populaire de libération [APL] dispose de plus de navires que l’US Navy. Rien d’étonnant à cela quand l’équivalent de la flotte française est produit tous les quatre ans par la Chine. Qui plus est, les unités mises en service sont de plus en plus perfectionnées [et redoutables], comme, par exemple, le croiseur de type 055 qui, affichant un déplacement de l’ordre de 10.000 tonnes, est doté de pas moins de 112 cellules de lancement vertical de missiles.
Par ailleurs, les progrès chinoise en matière de construction navale profitent également au Pakistan, ennemi historique de l’Inde. La marine pakistanaise doit acquérir auprès de la Chine quatre frégates de Type 054AP et de huit sous-marins de Type 039A [classe Hangor/Yuan] à propulsion diesel-électrique.
Aussi, l’état-major indien s’interroge… alors qu’il est question de construire un troisième porte-avions en configuration CATOBAR [avec catapultes et brins d’arrêt, ndlr] pour l’Indian Navy.
« Nous n’avons pas vocation à devenir une forces expéditionnaire appelées à se déployer dans le monde entier. Nous devons garder et combattre uniquement le long de nos frontières et, bien sûr, dominer l’océan Indien », avait estimé, l’an passé, le général Bipin Rawat, le chef d’état-major des forces indiennes, après s’être dit favorable à plus d’investissements dans les sous-marins et les missiles de croisière aux dépens de la construction d’un troisième porte-avions.
Actuellement, la marine indienne dispose d’une flotte disparate de 15 sous-marins d’attaque à propulsion diesel-électrique, dont 8 de type Kilo [classe Sindhughosh] acquis en Russie, 4 de type 209, fournis par ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems [TKMS] et 3 de classe Scorpène [ou Kalvari], construits en Inde grâce à une licence accordée par Naval Group. Trois autres unités seront mises en service d’ici 2023.
En outre, elle loue à la Russie un sous-marin nucléaire d’attaque [SNA] de type Akula II, à savoir l’INS Chakra II [ex-Nerpa] et prévoit d’en faire autant avec un second exemplaire en 2025.
Afin de remplacer les modèles les plus anciens, New Delhi a lancé le projet P-75I, afin d’acquérir six autres sous-marins d’attaque à propulsion diesel-électrique. En janvier 2020, cinq constructeurs et deux chantiers navals indiens ont été retenus pour participer à la phase finale de l’appel d’offres, dont Naval Group [Scorpène], le russe Rubin [Amour 1650], l’allemand TKMS [Type 214], l’espagnon Navantia [S-80] et le sud-coréen DSME [KS-III].
Parallèlement à cette procédure, l’Inde conduit le projet 75 Alpha. Approuvé en 2015, il vise à construire localement six sous-marins nucléaires d’attaque. Dans ce domaine, l’industrie indienne ne part pas de zéro étant donné qu’elle a été en mesure de concevoir l’INS Arihant, le premier sous-marin nucléaire lanceur d’engins [SNLE] de l’Indian Navy. Un second exemplaire – l’INS Arighat – est en cours de construction au chantier naval de Visakhapatnam.
En revanche, la construction d’un porte-avions en configuration CATOBAR suppose des savoir-faire que l’industrie navale indienne ne possède pas pour le moment, sauf à faire appel à une aide extérieure qui ne pourrait être fournie que par deux pays : la France et les États-Unis. Et encore, s’agissant des catapultes, qu’elles soient à vapeur ou électromagnétiques, seule les seconds peuvent les fournir.
Cela étant, New Delhi pourrait avoir besoin d’une assistance extérieure pour mener à bien la conception de ces six SNA. La France, via Naval Group, pourrait la lui fournir, comme elle l’a fait avec le programme brésilien Prosub. De même que la Russie [d’autant plus que, dans ce domaine, ses relations avec la marine indienne sont anciennes, avec la location d’un premier SNA – le K-43 – dans les années 1960] et les États-Unis, pour qui le rapprochement avec l’Inde est crucial pour contrer la Chine.
Le coût du projet 75 Alpha a été évalué, en 2019, à 14 milliards de dollars. Une somme à comparer aux 16 à 17 milliards de dollars nécessaires pour la construction d’un troisième porte-avions, avec sa composante aérienne. Aussi, dans un contexte budgétaire contraint en raison de l’épidémie de covid-19 et en raison de la nécessité de combler des lacunes capacitaires dans certains domaines clés, l’Indian Navy a dû faire un choix. Et elle a estimé que les six SNA doivent être prioritaires, ce qui est par ailleurs cohérent avec la mise en place d’une composante océanique de la dissuasion nucléaire indienne. C’est ce qu’a affirmé le quotidien Hindustan Times, citant des sources « proches du dossier ».
« La marine indienne a informé le gouvernement Modi que la mise en service de six sous-marins à propulsion nucléaire aurait la priorité sur un troisième porte-avions lourd […] pour contrer l’expansion rapide de la marine de l’Armée populaire de libération dominer l’océan Indien », a écrit le journal, la semaine passée.
Cette décision ne sera pas sans conséquences sur le programme MRCBF [Multi Role Carrier Borne Fighters] qui devait aboutir sur l’acquisition de 57 chasseurs embarqués multi-rôles pouvant être mis en oeuvre sur un porte-avions STOBAR [avec tremplin] ou CATOBAR. Le français Dassault Aviation [Rafale Marine] et l’américain Boeing [F/A-18 Super Hornet] sont en lice.

India test-fires Python 5 AAM from Tejas LCA
by Gabriel Dominguez & Rahul Bedi
India’s government-run Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has conducted the first test-firings of the Israeli-made, imaging infrared (IIR)-guided Python 5 air-to-air missile (AAM) from a Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA).
India test-fired the Python 5 AAM from a Tejas LCA for the first time on 27 April, according to the PIB. (Via PIB)
In a 28 April statement the Indian government’s Press Information Bureau (PIB) said that the trials, which took place the previous day over Goa in southwestern India, were aimed at adding the fifth-generation, short-range missile – made by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems – to the LCA’s air-to-air weapon capabilities.
The Python 5 test-firings were the last in a series of missile trials designed to validate the aircraft’s performance under “extremely challenging scenarios”, noted the PIB, adding that the I-Derby ER (extended range) beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM), which is also made by Rafael, was also test-fired.
The Derby missile “achieved [a] direct hit on a high-speed manoeuvring aerial target and the Python missiles also achieved 100% hits, thereby validating their complete capability”, noted the PIB, adding that the trials “met all their planned objectives”.
The LCA used for the missile trials belonged to India’s Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and were flown by Indian Air Force (IAF) test pilots, said the PIB.
The bureau noted that prior to these trials extensive missile carriage flight tests were conducted at Bengaluru to assess the integration of the Python 5 with other systems aboard the Tejas, including avionics, the fire-control radar, the missile weapon delivery and the flight control systems.
WASHINGTON, April 30, 2021 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of India of six (6) P-8I Patrol aircraft and related equipment for an estimated cost of $2.42 billion. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Government of India has requested to buy six (6) P-8I Patrol aircraft; eight 8 Multifunctional Information Distribution System-Joint Tactical Radio Systems 5 (MIDS-JTRS 5) (6 installed, 2 spares); forty-two (42) AN/AAR-54 Missile Warning Sensors (36 installed, 6 spares); and fourteen (14) LN-251 with Embedded Global Positioning Systems (GPS)/Inertial Navigations Systems (EGIs) (12 installed, 2 spares). Also included are CFM56-7 commercial engines; Tactical Open Mission Software (ITOMS) variant for P-8I; Electro-Optical (EO) and Infrared (IR) MX-20HD; AN/AAQ-2(V)l Acoustic System; ARES-1000 commercial variant Electronic Support Measures; AN/APR-39D Radar Warning Receiver; AN/ALE-47 Counter Measures Dispensing System; support equipment and spares; publications; repair and return; transportation; aircraft ferry; training; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, software, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistical and program support. The total estimated program cost is $2.42 billion.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to strengthen the U.S.-Indian strategic relationship and to improve the security of a major defensive partner, which continues to be an important force for political stability, peace, and economic progress in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia region.
The Indian Navy procured eight P-8I aircraft from Boeing in January 2009, via Direct Commercial Sale and contracted for an additional four aircraft in July 2016. The first P-8I aircraft were delivered to the Indian Navy in 2013, providing interoperability and critical capabilities to coalition maritime operations. This proposed sale of an additional six P-8I aircraft will allow the Indian Navy to expand its maritime surveillance aircraft (MSA) capability for the next 30 years. India will have no difficulty absorbing these aircraft into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be The Boeing Company, Seattle, WA. The purchaser typically requests offsets. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the prime contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require approximately four (4) contractor personnel to support the program execution in-country.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
This notice of a potential sale is required by law. The description and dollar value is for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.
