The second $60m sale for Indonesia includes supply of a total of 180 Block I Javelin missiles, 25 command launch units (CLU), missile simulation rounds (MSR), battery coolant units (BCU), enhanced basic skills trainer, weapon effects simulator, batteries, spare and repair parts and other related logistics support.
Equipment from the potential sale would enhance the Oman Armed Forces’ ability to address existing and future threats, and increase security of the country’s critical oil and natural gas infrastructure, as well as strengthen homeland defence.
Acquired as part of the Indonesian Army’s military upgrade programme, the Javelin missiles will provide capabilities for defeating potential threats and protect its sovereign territory.
Javelin Joint Venture (JJV), a consortium of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, located in Orlando, Florida and Tucson, Arizona, US, will serve as prime contractor for both FMS programmes.
