Foreign Military Sales: Use of FMS in Proposed Commercial Sale of Airborne Self Protection Jammer

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on proposed commercial sales of the Airborne Self Protection Jammer (ASPJ) to foreign governments, focusing on: (1) whether the Department of Defense (DOD) violated its foreign military sales (FMS) approval policy when it authorized the sale of ASPJ system software; (2) whether DOD accurately portrayed its decision to provide FMS support to the ASPJ sale; (3) whether DOD adequately addressed U.S. liability and national security concerns in its decision to sell ASPJ software and services; (4) why foreign governments are still interested in purchasing ASPJ systems; and (5) what ASPJ test results DOD provided to prospective foreign buyers.
