Brazil-S-70B Helicopter Follow-On Support
The Government of Brazil has requested a possible sale for three years of follow-on support for S-70B helicopters, which includes 1 Tactical Operational Flight Trainer, 5 AN/AVS-9 Night Vision Goggles, spare and repair parts, support equipment, tools and test equipment, personnel training and training equipment, publications and technical documentation, U.S. Government and contractor technical, engineering, and logistics support services, and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated cost is $150 million.
The proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of Brazil, which has been, and continues to be, an important force for regional stability and economic progress in South America.
The Government of Brazil will use the follow-on support to improve the level of training for its pilots and enhance the performance of its S-70 fleet. This support will increase Brazil's operational readiness.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
There are no principal contractors associated with this proposed sale. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives in Brazil. However, travel will be required on a temporary basis for program, technical, and management oversight and support requirements.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
