Additional equipment includes common munitions built-in-test reprogramming equipment (CMBRE-Plus) in support of a direct commercial sale for the newly acquired F-15SG fighter aircraft.
The second estimated $36m sale seeks the delivery of 20 AIM 9X-2 Sidewinder Block II all up round missiles, along with eight captive air training missiles (CATM)-9X-2, five CATM-9X-2 Block II missile guidance units, and two AIM-9X-2 Block II tactical guidance units.
Both sales also include the provision of spare and repair parts, support equipment, tools and test equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment logistics, and technical support services, as well as other related elements of logistics and programme support services.
Primarily aimed at enhancing the Singapore Air Force’s air-to-air capability, the sales are also expected to augment the service’s ability to strengthen homeland defence and improve cooperation with allied air forces during bilateral and multilateral exercises and potential air defence operations.
