POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Denmark--Precision Guidance Kits
The Government of Denmark has requested to buy five thousand eight
hundred thirty-two (5,832) M1156 Precision Guidance Kits (PGK). Also
included are ancillary items; compatibility testing; firing tables;
technical assistance; technical data; new equipment training; and other
related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total
cost is $85 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and
national security objectives of the United States by improving 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 will
increase 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 Northrop Grumman, located in
Minneapolis, MN. The purchaser typically requests offsets. Any offset
agreement will be defined in
[[Page 52369]]
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. 24-77
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 M1156A1 Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) is a cannon artillery
fuze which uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to increase the
delivery accuracy of standard 155mm high explosive ammunition. The NA37
M1156A1 includes M-code capability. It is also a Height of Burst (HOB)
fuze, which uses a proximity sensor to cause the round to burst in the
air over the enemy, increasing lethality against the target.
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 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 the 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.
