POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Denmark--Excalibur Projectiles
The Government of Denmark has requested to buy three hundred
thirty-nine (339) M982A1 Excalibur tactical projectiles. Also included
are Portable Electronic Fire Control Systems (PEFCS); Improved Platform
Integration Kits (iPIK); Simple Key Loaders (SKLs); extractors; Surface
Danger Zones (SDZs); training for new equipment; spare parts; U.S.
Government technical assistance; technical data; repair and return
services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.
The estimated cost is $121 million.
This proposed sale will enhance the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the
security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political stability and
economic progress in Europe.
The proposed sale will improve Denmark's capability to meet current
and future threats by providing precision capability equipment and
increasing first strike accuracy in its brigades. Denmark 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 principal contractor will be RTX Corporation, located in
Tucson, Arizona. 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 not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Denmark.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 24-61

36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The M982A1 Excalibur 155 mm High Explosive projectile is an all-
up projectile with global positioning system (GPS) aided precision
guidance capability provided by either Selective Availability Anti-
Spoofing Module (SAASM) or M-Code. The Excalibur provides the ability
to accurately engage targets at distances up to 25 miles. Excalibur is
commonly fired from U.S. Army and Marine Corps towed and self-propelled
howitzer systems, including the M777 and M109.
2. The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
3. 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.
4. A determination has been made that Denmark 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.
5. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of
Denmark.
