This proposed sale will ensure NATO 

warfighters have access to the latest C3I 

systems and technologies, and will be 

interoperable with U.S. forces. An 

updated UHF TACSAT radios in the 

hands of NATO allies and partners will 

offer significant C3I capabilities at all 

echelons, from the operational level 

down to the lowest small unit tactical 

formation. These capabilities increase 

secure communication effectiveness and 

efficiency and enhance military 

decision making. NCIA will have no 

difficulty absorbing this equipment into 

its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

will not alter the basic military balance 

in the region. 

The prime contractor will be Collins 

Aerospace, Cedar Rapids, IA. There are 

no known offset agreements in

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by helping to improve 

the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally 

country that continues to be an 

important strategic partner in the 

Middle East. 

The proposed sale will support the 

Egyptian Navy’s Fast Missile Craft ships 

and provide significantly enhanced area 

defense capabilities over Egypt’s coastal 

areas and approaches to the Suez Canal. 

Egypt will have no difficulty absorbing 

this equipment into its armed forces 

since Egypt already operates previously 

procured RAM Block 1A missiles. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be 

Raytheon Missiles & Defense (RMD), 

Tucson, AZ. There are no known offset 

agreements proposed in connection 

with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this sale will not 

require the assignment of any U.S. or

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
