Electron-impact cross sections for the dissociation process of vibrationally excited He2+ molecular ion, as a function of the incident electron energy are calculated for the dissociative transition X2\Sigma+u \to A2\Sigma+g by using the R-matrix method in the adiabatic-nuclei approximation. The potential energy curves for the involved electronic states and target properties, also calculated with the R-matrix method, were found to be in good agreement with the results reported in literature.
