WASHINGTON, November 13, 2025 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Iraq of Country Wide Repeater System and related equipment for an estimated cost of $100 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Government of Iraq has requested to buy Radio Access Points (RAP), handheld dismounted radios; radio base station systems; radio repeater systems; very high frequency vehicular radio systems; WiMax systems; intermediate power amplifier base station systems; intermediate power amplifier vehicular systems; Very Small Aperture Terminals; installation materials and kits; routers; switches; shelters; solar equipment; cameras and spare parts; personnel training and training equipment; studies and surveys; Contractor Logistics Support; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support; repeater systems and installation kits; high-capacity line of sight systems; RAP infrastructure (shelter, solar, camera, and air conditioner); and IT components (router, switch, and rack) to support a Country Wide Repeater System; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $100 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a strategic partner.
The proposed sale will improve Iraq’s critical command-and-control capabilities, bolstering its defense against regional threats. This strengthens Iraq's ability to protect its borders, energy infrastructure, and residents, while advancing U.S. security interests. Iraq will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be L3Harris Corporation, located in Rochester, NY. At this time, the U.S. government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of two U.S. Government and five U.S. contractor representatives to Iraq for a duration of five years to support quarterly program management reviews, provide engineering consulting and technical assessments for equipment upgrades and growth of the CWRS, and to conduct in-country training.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.
All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, Political-Military Affairs Outreach, at T_Outreach_PM@state.gov.
