Skip Davenport Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Kuwait requests possible purchase of KC-130s On July 15, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a possible foreign military sale to the Government of Kuwait of eight KC-130J Multimission Cargo Refueling Aircraft and associated equipment, parts and support for an estimated cost of $1.8 billion. The Government of Kuwait has requested a possible sale of 8 KC-130J Multi-mission Cargo Refueling Aircraft with 32 AE-2100D3 Turbo propeller engines, 8 spare AE-2100D3 Turbo propeller engines, 4 AN/ALR-56M Radar Warning Receivers, 4 AN/AAR-47 Missile Approach Warning Systems, 4 AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispenser Sets, 20 AN/ARC-210 (RT-1851A(U)) Very High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency HAVEQUICK/Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio Systems, spare and repair parts, support equipment, publications and technical documentation, warranties, aircraft ferry support, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor technical and logistics personnel services and other related elements of program support. This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a friendly country which has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East. The government of Kuwait needs these aircraft to strengthen its tactical and operating capabilities with its defense network. The aircraft will provide enhanced airlift capability, and with the refueling capability, add significant operational flexibility by extending the range of Kuwait’s air defense aircraft. The proposed sale of these aircraft will not alter the basic military balance in the region. The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company in Marietta, Ga. 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 U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Kuwait. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale. This potential sale notics is required by law. It does not mean that the sale has been concluded.
