POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

United Kingdom—F117–PW–100 

Engines 

The Government of the United 

Kingdom (UK) has requested the 

possible sale of 20 F–117–PW–100 

engines, engine exchange kits, support 

equipment, Global Positioning Systems, 

communications equipment, spare and 

repair parts, personnel training and 

training equipment, publications and 

technical documentation, U.S. 

Government and contractor engineering, 

technical, and logistics support services, 

and all other related elements of 

program support. The proposed sale 

supports the continued UK access to the 

United States Air Force/Boeing 

GLOBEMASTER III Sustainment 

Partnership program supporting the 

UK’s fleet of eight Boeing C–17A 

GLOBEMASTER III aircraft. The 

estimated cost is $300 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

maintain and improve the security of a 

key NATO ally that has been, and 

continues to be, an important force for 

major political stability and economic 

progress throughout Europe. 

The UK was the first foreign customer 

for the C–17 GLOBEMASTER III cargo 

aircraft. Continued sustainment of this 

system by the UK helps alleviate the 

burden placed on U.S. forces supporting 

NATO operations. The C–17 provides 

the UK with increased force protection 

capability that enhances regional and 

global stability. The UK will have no 

problem absorbing these additional 

engines and support 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 in Long Beach, 

California. There are no known offset 

agreements proposed in connection 

with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this sale will not 

require the assignment of additional 

U.S. Government or contractor 

representatives to the UK. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
