The State Department approved a possible $188 million Foreign Military Sale (FMS) to Greece for F-16 sustainment and associated equipment, parts, and logistical support.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) notified Congress of the potential sale on Nov. 17.
The primary contractors would be Lockheed Martin [LMT] and Northop Grumman [NOC].
Greece’s requested the continued sustainment support for the Hellenic Air Force’s F-16 aircrafts. This includes the Electronic Combat International Security Assistance Program, International Engine Management Program, F-16 Technical Coordination Program, and Aircraft Structural Integrity Program, aircraft hardware and software support; repair and return, spare and repair parts, publications and technical documentation, support equipment, and minor modifications.
This sale also includes U.S. government and contractor technical and engineering support services as well as other related elements of logistics and program support.
“The Government of Greece needs this aircraft support to ensure its F-16 fleet is properly sustained and modernized to maintain interoperability with the United States and other NATO countries,” DSCA explained in a statement.
Implementation of the FMS would not require additional government or contractor representatives in Greece.
