POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Guyana—Bell 412EPi and 429 

Helicopters 

The Government of Guyana has 

requested to buy two (2) Bell 412EPi 

Light Utility Helicopters with customerunique modifications; two (2) Bell 429 

Light Utility Helicopters with customerunique modifications; two (2) WESCAM 

MX-10 cameras; mission equipment; 

contractor-provided pilot and 

maintainer training; particular ground 

support equipment; spares; 

publications; integrated product 

support; technical assistance; 

transportation; Repair and Return; and 

other related elements of logistics and 

program support. The total estimated 

program cost is $256 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by helping to improve 

security of Guyana, which is expected to 

grow to be an important force for 

political stability and economic progress 

in South America. 

The proposed sale of the Bell 412EPi 

and 429 helicopters will improve 

Guyana’s capability to meet current and 

future threats. Guyana will use the 

enhanced capability to strengthen its 

homeland defense; conduct maritime 

surveillance, patrol, and interdiction; 

counter narcotic trafficking and 

transnational criminal organizations; 

deter regional threats; and support 

coalition partners overseas. Guyana 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 Bell 

Helicopter Textron Incorporated (BHTI), 

Piney Flats, TN. The purchaser typically 

requests offsets. There are no known 

offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this sale will not 

require the assignment of any additional 

U.S. Government or contractor 

representatives to Guyana. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

5. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the hardware and software elements, the 

information could be used to develop 

countermeasures or equivalent systems 

which might reduce system 

effectiveness or be used in the 

development of a system with similar or 

advanced capabilities. 

6. A determination has been made 

that Guyana can provide substantially
