Approved by the US State Department, the sale will enable the US military to support the Royal Air Force of Oman, boost the military-to-military relationship between the two nations, and ensure continued interoperability of forces and opportunities for bilateral training and exercises with Oman’s military forces.

The items and services will also enable Oman’s 23 F-16 aircraft currently using Mode 4 IFF to become interoperable on Mode 4/5.

Lockheed Martin has been as cited the potential principal contractor for the FMS.
