The estimated cost is $65 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 which has been and continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in South America.
Chile intends to use these radars to modernize its armed forces. The Government of Chile intends to expand its existing air defense architecture to counter threats posed by air attack. This will contribute to the Chilean military's goal to update its capability while further enhancing greater interoperability between Chile and the U.S., and among other allies.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
