"A március 29-i teszt során a THAAD rendszer sikeresen elindított egy PAC-3 MSE-t, hogy elfogjon egy taktikai ballisztikus rakétát a bevált Hit-to-Kill technológiával, Patriot tűzegység támogatása nélkül, nagyobb rugalmasságot biztosítva a harcos számára. A THAAD fegyverrendszerbe való integráció lehetővé teszi, hogy a PAC-3 MSE korábban induljon, ami hosszabb repülést és az MSE kinematikai képességének teljes kihasználását teszi lehetővé."
The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of the United Arab Emirates of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) System Missiles, THAAD Fire Control and Communication Stations, and related equipment for an estimated cost of $2.245 billion. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has requested to buy
ninety-six (96) Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile rounds;
two (2) THAAD Launch Control Stations (LCS); and
two (2) THAAD Tactical Operations Stations (TOS).
Also included are repair and return, system integration and checkout, and spare and repair parts; support and testing equipment; publications and technical documentation; construction activities; encryption devices; secure communication equipment; other required COMSEC equipment; and other related elements of logistical and program support. The total estimated program cost is $2.245 billion.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of an important regional partner. The UAE is a vital U.S. partner for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve the UAE’s ability to meet current and future ballistic missile threats in the region, and reduce dependence on U.S. forces. The UAE will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces, as it currently employs the THAAD system.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Space Systems Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA. It is anticipated the purchaser will request offsets. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to the UAE.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
This notice of a potential sale is required by law. The description and dollar value is 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.
