Here are some big recent contracts slated for shipment to the Egyptian military:
DRS C3 and Aviation -- Horsham, Pa. In December 2010, received a $46.1 million Army contract to provide vehicles, hardware and services for Egypt's border surveillance program. That same month DRS landed another $19.6 million Army contract to provide surveillance hardware and services for the Egyptian government.
L-3 Communication Ocean Systems -- Sylmar, Calif. and Garland, Texas. The company's Sylmar operations completed a $24.7 million deal with the Navy last August to provide a sonar system for the Egyptian Navy. And in April 2009, L-3's EOS Division in Garland, Texas got a $6.6 million Army contract to provide Egypt with military imaging equipment. (source)
Also last March Lockheed Martin -- Fort Worth, Texas and Orlando, won a $213 million Air Force contract to provide Egypt with 20 F-16 fighter jets. Whether planes have been delivered unknown. The following month, its Lockheed Martin Missiles subsidiary in Orlando, Fla. got a $46 million Army contract to provide night vision sensor systems for Apache helicopters.
Again, these export credits expire on Mar. 4th. After that aid must be renewed by Congress.
