POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Israel—M830A1 120mm Tank 

Cartridges 

The Government of Israel has 

requested to buy thirteen thousand nine 

hundred eighty-one (13,981) 120mm 

M830A1 High Explosive Anti-Tank 

Multi-Purpose with Tracer (MPAT) tank 

cartridges. Also included are 

publications and technical 

documentation; U.S. Government and 

contractor engineering, technical, and 

logistics support services; studies and 

surveys; and other related elements of 

logistics and program support. The 

estimated total cost is $106.5 million. 

The Secretary of State has determined 

and provided detailed justification that 

an emergency exists that requires the 

immediate sale to the Government of 

Israel of the above defense articles (and 

defense services) in the national 

security interests of the United States, 

thereby waiving the Congressional 

review requirements under Section 

36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act, as 

amended. 

The United States is committed to the 

security of Israel, and it is vital to U.S. 

national interests to assist Israel to 

develop and maintain a strong and 

ready self-defense capability. This 

proposed sale is consistent with those 

objectives. 

Israel will use the enhanced 

capability as a deterrent to regional 

threats and to strengthen its homeland 

defense. Israel 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. 

This will be a sale from U.S. Army 

inventory. There are no known offset 

agreements proposed in connection 

with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Israel. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The AN/PRC–117G delivers 

breakthrough wideband data speed and 

legacy narrowband performance. 

Equipped with MUOS-ready hardware,

waveforms on each of two channels. As 

mission needs evolve, this softwaredefined manpack supports fast, in-field 

capability updates. 

7. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET.

the specific hardware and software 

elements, the information could be used 

to develop countermeasures that might 

reduce weapon system effectiveness or 

be used in the development of a system 

with similar or advanced capabilities. 

9. A determination has been made 

that Poland can provide substantially 

the same degree of protection for the 

sensitive technology being released as 

the U.S. Government. This sale is 

necessary in furtherance of the U.S. 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives outlined in the Policy
