POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Egypt--Border Security Mobile Surveillance Sensor Security System

    The Government of Egypt has requested a possible sale for 
procurement and construction of one (1) commercial off-the-shelf border 
security mobile surveillance sensor security system that will include 
the following sub-systems: mobile surveillance sensor towers, mobile 
command and control (C2) systems, a regional C2 system, voice/data 
communications equipment, spare parts, support equipment, personnel 
training, training equipment, publications and technical documentation, 
U.S. Government and contractor technical and logistics support 
services, and other related elements of logistics and program support. 
The estimated cost is $100 million.
    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 that has been and continues to be an 
important force for political stability and economic progress in the 
Middle East.
    This mobile surveillance sensor security system will provide Egypt 
with advanced capabilities intended to bolster its border surveillance 
capabilities along its border with Libya and elsewhere. This 
procurement is intended for Egyptian Border Guard Forces, which 
currently lack any remote detection capability along unpatrolled areas 
of Egypt's borders. This system would provide an early warning 
capability to allow for faster response times to mitigate threats to 
the border guards and the civilian population. Egypt should have no 
difficulty absorbing these systems into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The principal contractor is undetermined at this time and will be 
determined during negotiations. There are no known offset arrangements 
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 Egypt. However, the proposed sale will require 
periodic travel to Egypt by multiple U.S. Government and contractor 
representatives' for program and technical review meetings, testing, 
and training for a period of up to 5 years.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.
