The Defense Security Cooperation Agency has notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Japan of four sets of Airborne Early Warning (AEW) and Command, Control and Communications (C3) mission equipment/Radar System Improvement Program (RSIP) Group A and B kits, plus spares and services to ensure complete AWACS mission equipment supportability, for subsequent installation and checkout in four previously procured E-767 Airborne Warning and Control Systems (AWACS) aircraft.
The prime contractor will be Boeing Aerospace Company in Seattle, WA, and total value if all options are exercised could be as high as $147 million.
Japan previously purchased four sets of AWACS mission equipment, and needs this additional mission equipment to continue its development of an extended Airborne Early Warning (AEW) capability as well as enhanced command, control and communications (C3). 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 and contractor representatives to Japan. See full DSCA release [PDF format].
