POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Brazil—M109A5+ Upgrade Kits 

The Government of Brazil has 

requested a possible sale of 40 M109A5 

kits to upgrade 40 M109A5 Self 

Propelled Howitzers to the M109A5+ 

configuration, spare and repair parts, 

support equipment, tools and test 

equipment, personnel training and 

training equipment, publications and 

technical documentation, U.S. 

Government and contractor technical, 

engineering, and logistics support 

services, and other related elements of 

logistics and program support. The 

estimated cost is $110 million. 

The proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the security of Brazil, which 

has been, and continues to be, an 

important force for regional stability and 

economic progress in South America. 

Brazil will use this equipment to 

modernize its artillery capability and 

enhance the Brazilian Armed Forces’ 

readiness. The reconfigured howitzers 

will provide the Brazilian Army with a 

much needed upgrade to this capability 

while further enhancing interoperability 

with U.S. and other military forces. 

Brazil 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 BAE 

Systems in York, Pennsylvania. There 

are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require two (2) U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to travel to 

Brazil for a period of up to one (1) year 

to provide assistance during the upgrade 

of these 40 vehicles. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;

that all loan discharge forms are 

contained in one collection with the 

same OMB Control Number.
