The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Denmark of Integrated Battle Command System Enabled PATRIOT and related equipment for an estimated cost of $8.5 billion. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress.
The Government of Denmark has requested to buy thirty-six (36) PATRIOT MIM-104E guidance enhanced missile-tactical (GEM-T) ballistic missiles; twenty (20) PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) missiles; two (2) AN/MPQ-65 radar sets; two (2) Engagement Control Stations (ECS); two (2) Radar Interface Units (RIU) modification kits; six (6) PATRIOT M903A2 launching stations (LS); six (6) Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) Software Launcher Integrated Network Kits (LINKs); two (2) IBCS Engagement Operations Centers (EOCs); two (2) IBCS Integrated Collaborative Environments (ICE); six (6) IBCS integrated fire control network (IFCN) relays; and two (2) Electrical Power Plants III (EPP III). The following non-MDE items will also be included: communications equipment including, but not limited to, AN/TPX–57A identification friend or foe (IFF), Defense Advanced Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver (DAGR), AN/PYQ-10 Simple Key Loader, KIV-77 encryptor, KG-250X Inline Network Encryptor, IPS-250X HAIPE Encryptor, future Combat Net Radio, and AN/PRC-163 radio; tools and test equipment; support equipment; generators; publications and technical documentation; training equipment including the Air Defense Reconfigurable Trainer; spare and repair parts; personnel training; Technical Assistance Field Team support; U.S. Government and contractor technical assistance and services, engineering, and logistics support; System Integration and Checkout; field office support; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $8.5 billion.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve Denmark’s capability to meet current and future threats by increasing its combat capability. Denmark will use these munitions to defend NATO Allies and its partners. Denmark 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 contractors will be RTX Corporation, located in Arlington, VA; Lockheed-Martin, located in Dallas, TX; and Northrop Grumman, located in Falls Church, VA. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of 12-17 additional U.S. Government and 17-23 contractor representatives to travel to Denmark periodically for up to 7 years for equipment fielding, system checkout, training, and technical and logistics support.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.
