The primary contractors would be Lockheed Martin [LMT].
The requested FMS would include 1,000 AGM-114 Hellfire II missiles, containers, repair and return, spare and repair parts, support equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment.
The sale would also include U.S. government and contractor logistics and technical support services, and other related elements of logistics and program support.
Lebanon would use the capability to strengthen its homeland defense and to replenish its existing Hellfire stock levels. “The proposed sale will improve Lebanon’s capability to meet current and future threats,” DSCA said
Implementation of the FMS would not require the assignment of additional U.S. government or contractor representatives to Lebanon.
