POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Egypt—28-Meter Patrol Craft Kits 

The Government of Egypt has 

requested to buy additional non-Major 

Defense Equipment 28-meter patrol craft 

production kits and technical support. 

The kits consist of Rigid Hull Inflatable 

Boats, forward-looking infrared systems, 

and computer packages; technical and 

logistics support services; 

transportation; spare parts, materials, 

equipment, and components; and other 

related elements of logistical and 

program support. The estimated total 

cost is $129 million. 

This proposed sale will support 

United States (U.S.) foreign policy and 

national security objectives by helping 

to improve the security of a Major NonNATO Ally that continues to be an 

important force for political stability 

and economic growth in the Middle 

East. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Egypt’s capacity to sustain security 

operations and strengthen its internal 

and external defense capabilities. The 

proposed sale will assist the 

Government of Egypt’s maritime patrol 

and interdiction efforts to contribute to 

regional maritime security efforts in the 

Mediterranean and Red Sea. Egypt will 

have no difficulty absorbing this 

equipment 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 contractor will be 

Swiftships, of Morgan City, LA. There 

are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require multiple trips to Egypt 

involving one (1) U.S. Government 

representative and three (3) contractor 

representatives for approximately three 

(3) years for program management, 

program and technical reviews, training, 

maintenance support, and site surveys. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The 28-meter patrol craft 

production kits consist of Rigid 

Inflatable Boats, materials, equipment, 

and components for 28-meter patrol 

craft. Technical support is also 

included. 

2. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is UNCLASSIFIED. 

3. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the hardware and software elements, the 

information could be used to develop 

countermeasures or equivalent systems 

which might reduce system 

effectiveness or be used in the 

development of a system with similar or 

advanced capabilities. 

4. A determination has been made 

that the Government of Egypt 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 Justification. 

5. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal are authorized 

for release and export to the 

Government of Egypt.
