This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

helping to improve the security of a 

friendly country that continues to be an 

important force for political stability 

and economic progress in the Middle

The proposed sale will improve 

Qatar’s capability to meet current and 

future threats by providing electronic 

and kinetic defeat capabilities against 

Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Qatar will 

have no difficulty absorbing these 

articles and/or services into its armed 

forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractors will be 

Raytheon, Huntsville AL; SRC, 

Huntsville, AL; and Northrop 

Grumman, Huntsville, AL. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require the assignment of five (5) 

additional U.S. Government and fifteen 

(15) U.S. contractor representatives to 

Qatar for a duration of five (5) years to 

support fielding, training, and 

sustainment activities. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
