The Japanese government aims to expand its air defense capabilities with the procurement of anti-air and anti-surface interceptor missiles and related equipment from the U.S. government through a $450 million foreign military sales agreement approved by the State Department.
Raytheon Technologies‘ (NYSE: RTX) missiles and defense unit will serve as the principal contractor on the potential deal that covers the provision of 32 Standard Missile 6 Block I missiles and MK 21 vertical launch systems canisters, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Thursday.
The proposed sale will include spares, training equipment, technical publications and engineering, technical and logistics support services.
DSCA noted the U.S. will deploy government and contractor personnel to Japan to provide training and maintenance support once the deal is implemented.
