Download or read book Foreign Military Sales Versus Direct Commercial Sales written by Metin Gultekin and published by . This book was released on 1998-09-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transfer of arms from the U.S. to other countries under the Security Assistance Program is done in two basic ways: government-to-government Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and contractor-to-government Direct Commercial Sales (DCS). These methods help to increase standardization and interoperability between the U.S. and its Allies. This study examines the U.S. arms sales policies and procedures for FMS and DCS. It is aimed at identifying the advantages and weaknesses of these methods and to provide information to the Turkish Navy decision-makers for future arms procurements. The objective of this study is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Turkish Navy in procuring weapon systems/services from U.S. sources. The research found demonstrates that the choice of either FMS or DCS is driven by the special circumstances of the Turkish Navy, rather than by substantive differences in the two systems. The final decision on procurement methods with the U.S. depends on the country and items to be purchase. This study examines the major trade-offs between the FMS and DCS systems, and recommends the factors which the Turkish Navy should take into account to minimize costs, maximize effectiveness, and maximize efficiency.

Download or read book Comparative Analysis of the Use of Foreign Military Sales FMS and Direct Commercial Sales DCS in the Procurement of US Defense Articles by the Philippine Government for the Use of the Armed Forces of the Philippines written by Remegio M. De Vera and published by . This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philippine government may use two methods to procure defense articles from the United States, either Foreign Military Sales (FMS) or Direct Commercial Sales (DCS). This thesis examined the differences between FMS and DCS as methods of procurement used by the Philippine government in the acquisition of U.S. defense articles. The study identified the processes involved in using each of the two methods as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each when used within the socioeconomic and political environment of the Philippines. Issues and considerations that influence selection decision are also discussed. DCS may offer the lowest fixed price, timely/earlier delivery, easier countertrade arrangements, and penalty for non-compliance to the provisions of the contract. FMS is preferable because it is a government-to-government sale, provides opportunities for Philippine military training in the United States and enhances interoperability among coalition forces. In addition, FMS allows for financing of defense articles from the U.S. using Foreign Military Financing, thus conserving Philippine government funds.

Download or read book Whether Foreign Military Sales Or Direct Commercial Sales A Case Study of the UK E 3 AWACS written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the considerations underlying a foreign country's choice between Foreign Military Sales and commercial sale in acquiring a major weapon system and, in the process, identified various issues and problems that can confront the DOD in supporting a commercial sale. A case study of the commercial sale of the E-3 to the United Kingdom was employed to investigate the proposition that there are advantages and disadvantages to each acquisition approach. The Defense Security Assistance Agency's brochure, 'A comparison of Direct Commercial Sales & Foreign Military Sales for the Acquisition of U.S. Defense Articles and Services' was used as a backdrop in analyzing the UK E-3 sale. Six specific considerations were evaluated including (1) the ability to negotiate and administer a contract, (2) logistics and training needs, (3) the need for DOD personnel assistance, (4) contract price, (5)delivery schedule, and (6) the need for contacting flexibility. The study revealed that comparative price, delivery schedule, and contracting flexibility were primary considerations in the UK's decision to acquire the E-3 through direct commercial sale. However, the study also revealed numerous drawbacks that the arrangement had for both the UK and the DOD. Finally, the study provided valuable lessons learned which can be applied to future sales of the E-3.

Download or read book A Study on the Perceptions About Potential Advantages of FMS Foreign Military Sales and Commercial Sales Seller and Buyer Perspectives written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study attempted to compare the perceptions of a buyer and seller in the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and Commercial Sales environment of a major system acquisition. Another purpose of the study was to determine if there existed any significant differences in the perceptions of the two parties. The buyer and seller were represented by a Purchaser Country Representative (PCR) and a United States Air Force Counterpart (USCP) stationed at the International Logistics Center (ILC) and Multinational Directorate (YPX) of the F-16 System Program Office (SPO). The research model for this stu (1985), titled A comparison of Direct Commercial Sales and Foreign Military Sales for the Acquisition of U.S. Defense Articles and Services. Opinion data obtained from interviews with 52 USCPs and 32 PCRs were analyzed statistically as well as descriptively. Government-to-government obligation was ranked number 1 by PCR as a motivator for a purchasing country to utilize the FMS channel for major weapon system acquisition while logistics support was ranked number 1 by USCP. Direct negotiation was ranked number 1 as a motivator for a purchasing country to utilize the Commercial channel for major weapon system acquisition while quick response was ranked number 1 by USCP. Two elements of the potential advantages yielded significant differences in perceptions of the two groups: logistics support for the FMS and direct negotiation for the Commercial channel.
