Policy Justification
Israel--Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles
The Government of Israel has requested to buy thirty (30) AIM-120C-
8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and one (1) AMRAAM
guidance section (spare). The following non-MDE items will also be
included: AMRAAM control sections and containers; Common Munitions
Built-In-Test/Reprogramming
[[Page 51715]]
Equipment (CMBRE); ADU-891/E Adapter Group Computer Test Sets; spare
parts, consumables, accessories, repair and return support, classified
and unclassified publications, and technical documentation; classified
software delivery and support; munitions support and support equipment;
test support and support equipment; personnel training and training
equipment; warranties; studies and surveys; contractor logistics
support services; U.S. Government and contractor engineering,
technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements
of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $102.5
million.
The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is
vital to U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and
maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale
is consistent with those objectives.
The proposed sale will improve Israel's capability to meet current
and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serve as a
deterrent to regional threats. Israel will have no difficulty absorbing
these articles and services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be RTX Corporation, located in Tucson,
AZ. The purchaser typically requests offsets. Any offset agreement will
be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require the assignment of
three additional U.S. Government representatives and one U.S.
contractor representative to Israel for a duration of approximately
three years to support installation and integration of equipment,
provide security for classified equipment, and provide technical
assistance, familiarization, and training.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 24-08
Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section
36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM)
is a supersonic, air-launched, aerial intercept guided missile
featuring digital technology and micro-miniature, solid-state
electronics. AMRAAM capabilities include look-down/shoot-down, multiple
launches against multiple targets, resistance to electronic
countermeasures, and interception of high- and low-flying and
maneuvering targets. This potential sale will include an AMRAAM
guidance section and control sections.
2. The ADU-891 Adapter Group Test Set provides the physical and
electrical interface between the Common Munitions Built-in-Test (BIT)/
Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE) and the missile.
3. CMBRE is support equipment used to interface with weapon systems
to initiate and report Built-in-Test results as well as upload and
download flight software. CMBRE supports multiple munitions platforms
with a range of applications that perform preflight checks, periodic
maintenance checks, loading of Operational Flight Program (OFP) data,
loading of munitions mission planning data, loading of global
positioning system cryptographic keys, and declassification of
munitions memory.
4. The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
5. If a technologically advanced adversary were to obtain knowledge
of the specific hardware and software elements, the information could
be used to develop countermeasures that might reduce weapon system
effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
6. A determination has been made that Israel can provide
substantially the same degree of protection for the sensitive
technology being released as the U.S. Government. This sale is
necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives outlined in the Policy Justification.
7. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to Israel.
