POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

France—E–2C Hawkeye Sustainment 

Support 

The Government of France has 

requested to buy additional non-MDE 

E–2C Hawkeye sustainment items and 

services that will be added to a 

previously implemented case. The 

original Foreign Military Sales (FMS) 

case, valued at $99.6 million, included 

E–2C Hawkeye sustainment support. 

Therefore, this notification is for E–2C 

Hawkeye sustainment support, which 

includes an Engine Component 

Improvement Program (CIP); software 

updates; technical publications; U.S. 

Government, and contractor technical 

and product support and assistance; and 

other related elements of logistics and 

program support. The estimated total 

cost is $160 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the U.S. by helping to 

improve the security of a NATO Ally 

that is an important force for political 

stability and economic progress in 

Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve 

France’s capability to meet current and 

future threats in the European domain 

by maintaining its E–2C fleet in fully 

mission-capable status and sustain 

interoperability with U.S. and NATO 

forces. France will have no difficulty 

absorbing these articles 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 principal U.S. contractor will be 

Northrop Grumman, Melbourne, FL. 

There are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of the proposed sale 

will require occasional government 

personnel to visit France on a temporary 

basis and one contractor personnel to be 

permanently assigned in France in 

conjunction with program technical 

oversight and support requirements, 

including program and technical 

reviews as well as training and 

maintenance support. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
