US approves $95 million foreign military sale of border security equipment to Tunisia

The sale includes commercial vehicles, vehicular radios, thermal cameras, radars, microwaves, perimeter cameras, long-term evolution systems, shelters, environmental sensors, generators, solar systems, various detectors for radiation, explosives, and chemicals, range finders, binoculars, search lights, and tactical thermal imagers. It also covers command and control hardware and software, spare parts, site preparation, installation, configuration, integration, testing, vehicular integration services, warranties, repair, and in-country training. The U.S. Department of State stated that this sale supports U.S. foreign policy and national security by enhancing the defense capabilities of Tunisia, a major non-NATO ally, contributing to political stability and economic progress in North Africa.

This improved border control capacity, particularly along its border with Libya, is expected to positively impact Libya's border security against illicit trade and human trafficking. L3 Harris and Toyota are identified as the principal contractors.
