POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Singapore--AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles
The Government of Singapore has requested to buy fifty-four (54)
AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and two
(2) AIM-120C-8 AMRAAM guidance sections. The following non-MDE items
will also be included: AMRAAM control section spares, missile
containers, and support equipment; Common Munitions Built-In-Test
(BIT)/Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE); ADU-89/E Adapter Group Computer
Test Set; spare parts, consumables and accessories, and
[[Page 52635]]
repair and return support; weapon system support and software, and
classified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified
publications and technical documentation; training support and
equipment; studies and surveys; United States (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 $133 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a
strategic partner that is an important force for political stability
and economic progress in Asia.
The proposed sale will meet Singapore's need to maintain
operational readiness and interoperability with U.S. and coalition
forces. This sale increases Singapore's effectiveness in both training
and combat operations and contributes to stability and deterrence in
the Indo-Pacific region. Singapore will have no difficulty absorbing
these weapons 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, AZ. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Singapore.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 24-83
Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section

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.
2. The Common Munitions Built-In-Test (BIT)/Reprogramming Equipment
(CMBRE) is support equipment used to interface with weapon systems to
initiate and report BIT results, and upload/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
(GPS) cryptographic keys, and declassification of munitions memory.
3. The ADU-891 Adapter Group Test Set provides the physical and
electrical interface between the CMBRE and missile.
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 the Government of Singapore
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 the Government of
Singapore.
