POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Denmark--AIM-120D-3 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles
The Government of Denmark has requested to buy up to two hundred
three (203) AIM-120D-3 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles
(AMRAAM); and up to nine (9) AIM-120D-3 AMRAAM guidance sections to
include precise position provided by either Selective Availability
Anti-Spoofing Module or M-Code. The following non-MDE items will also
be included: spare AMRAAM control sections; missile containers and
support equipment; munitions support and support equipment; spare
parts, consumables and accessories, and repair and return support;
weapons software and support equipment; classified software delivery
and support; classified publications and technical documentation;
transportation support; studies and surveys; 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 $744 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and
national security objectives of the U.S. 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 increasing its combat capability. Denmark will
use these munitions to defend NATO Allies and its partners. Denmark
already has AMRAAM in its inventory and will have no difficulty
absorbing these articles 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. 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. 24-88
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-120D-3 series Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile
(AMRAAM) is a supersonic, air-launched, aerial intercept, guided
missile featuring digital technology and micro-miniature, and 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. The AIM-120D-3 features a quadrangle target
detection device and an electronics unit within the guidance section
that performs all radar signal processing, mid-course and terminal
guidance, flight control, target detection, and warhead detonation.
Precise positioning will be provided by either Selective Availability
Anti-Spoofing Module or M-Code.
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.
