Proposed Sale for Combat Training Center in Jordan

The State Department has made a determination approving a possible foreign military sale to the Government of Jordan for an F-16 Air Combat Training Center and related equipment. The estimated total cost is $60 million.

The Government of Jordan has requested to buy an F-16 Air Combat Training Center and devices including full mission trainers, combat tactics trainers, instructor/operator stations, tactical environment simulators, brief/debrief stations, scenario generation stations, database generation stations, mission observation centers, and other training center equipment and support; software and software support; publications and technical documentation; maintenance, spares and repair parts and services; U.S. and contractor engineering, technical, and logistical support services; and other related elements of program support.

The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Corporation Rotary & Mission Systems in Orlando, Florida. Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of two U.S. Lockheed Martin contractor representatives to Jordan for a duration of two years to support training.

The proposed sale will improve Jordan’s capability to meet current and future threats by ensuring Jordan’s pilots are effectively trained, which will contribute to the U.S.-Jordan lasting partnership and ensure the country’s stability. Jordan will use this asset to enhance training of pilots.
