POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Bahrain—35 Meter Fast Patrol Boats 

Bahrain has requested the purchase of 

two (2) 35 meter Fast Patrol Boats, each 

equipped with one (1) MK38 Mod 3 

25mm gun weapon system and one (1) 

SeaFLIR 380 HD Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) device. Additionally, 

Bahrain has requested communication 

equipment; support equipment; spare 

and repair parts; tools and test 

equipment; technical data and 

publications; personnel training; U.S. 

government and contractor engineering, 

technical, and logistics support services; 

and other related elements of logistics 

and program support. The total 

estimated cost is $60.25 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the security of a major NonNATO ally, which has been and 

continues to be an important security 

partner in the region. This proposed sale 

of patrol boats will enhance the military 

capabilities of the Royal Bahrain Naval 

Force in the fulfillment of its selfdefense, maritime security, and counterterrorism missions. 

Bahrain will use the capability as a 

deterrent to regional threats and to 

strengthen its homeland defense. This 

sale will also improve interoperability 

with United States and regional allies. 

Bahrain 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. 

The principal contractors for systems 

listed include: 35 meter Fast Patrol 

Boats-SwiftShips, Morgan City, LA; 

MK38 Mod 3 25mm Gun Weapon 

System-BAE Systems, Louisville, KY; 

SeaFlir Model 380 HD Forward Looking 

Infra-Red Device-Flir Systems, Inc., 

Portland, OR. There are no known offset 

agreements proposed in conjunction 

with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require multiple trips by U.S. 

Government and contractor 

representatives to participate in program 

and technical reviews plus boat 

reactivation and boat systems training in 

country, on a temporary basis, for a 

period of two years. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
