POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Israel - Namer Armored Personnel Carrier (APC-MT883) Power Packs Less
Transmissions (NPPLT) and Integrated Logistics Support
The Government of Israel has requested to buy two hundred forty
(240) Namer Armored Personnel Carrier (APC-MT883) Power Packs, Less
Transmission (NPPLT) in Full Configuration; thirty (30) Namer Armored
Personnel Carrier (APC-MT883) Power Packs, Less Transmission (NPPLT) in
Light Configuration; and one hundred seventy-nine (179) Control and
Diagnostic Systems (CDS). Also included is an Integrated Logistics
Support package that includes: special tools for C-Level maintenance;
oil spray nozzle test bench; preservation and packaging; containers;
configuration management; technical manuals, spare parts catalogs,
other documentation and publications, and other related elements of
logistics and program support. The total estimated program cost is $238
million.
The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is
vital to U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and
maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale
is consistent with those objectives.
The proposed sale will improve Israel's capability to meet current
and future threats in the defense of its borders. These upgraded power
packs will be used on their Armored Personnel Carriers (APC-MT883) that
were fielded in 2008. Israel will have no difficulty absorbing this
equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed equipment and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be MTU America, Novi, MI. MTU America is
the North American subsidiary of Rolls Royce Power Systems. 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 additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Israel.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
