POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Taipei Economic and Cultural

States—International Engineering 

Services Program (IESP) and Field 

Surveillance Program (FSP) Support 

Taipei Economic and Cultural 

Representative Office in the United 

States (TECRO) has requested to buy 

equipment and services to support 

participation in the Patriot International 

Engineering Services Program (IESP) 

and Field Surveillance Program (FSP) 

for five years, including engineering 

services support, designed to sustain, 

maintain, and improve the Patriot Air 

Defense System within the performance 

envelope described in the system 

specification through the investigation 

and resolution of identified problems; 

missile field surveillance support for 

legacy (Guidance Enhanced Missile 

(GEM)) and Patriot Advanced 

Capability-3 (PAC–3) missiles, designed 

to ensure the reliability and 

performance of the Patriot missile 

through storage and aging programs, 

surveillance firing programs, and 

configuration management; legacy and 

PAC–3 missile stockpile reliability 

testing, to provide quantitative 

reliability assessments of the deployed 

missile round; U.S. Government and 

contractor technical and logistics 

support, and other related elements of 

program support. Participation in the 

shared IESP and FSP for the life of the 

Patriot system is a requirement of the 

U.S. Government. The total estimated 

program cost is $100.0 million. 

This proposed sale is consistent with 

U.S. law and policy as expressed in 

Public Law 96–8. 

This proposed sale serves U.S. 

national, economic, and security 

interests by supporting the recipient’s 

continuing efforts to modernize its 

armed forces and to maintain a credible 

defensive capability. The proposed sale 

will help improve the security of the 

recipient and assist in maintaining 

political stability, military balance, 

economic and progress in the region. 

The proposed sale will help to sustain 

the recipient’s missile density and 

ensure readiness for air operations. The 

recipient will use this capability as a 

deterrent to regional threats and to 

strengthen homeland defense. The 

recipient will have no difficulty 

absorbing this equipment and services 

into its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The prime contractors will be 

Raytheon Technologies in Andover, 

MA; and Lockheed Martin in Camden, 

AK. There are no known offset 

agreements proposed in connection 

with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the permanent 

assignment of any additional U.S. 

Government or contractor 

representatives to recipient. Support 

teams will travel to recipient on a 

temporary basis. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
