POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Denmark--AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles
The Government of Denmark has requested to buy two hundred (200)
AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and three
(3) AIM-120-C8 AMRAAM guidance sections. The following non-major
defense equipment items will also be included: AMRAAM control sections,
containers, and support equipment; spare parts, consumables and
accessories, and repair and return support; weapons software and
support equipment; classified and unclassified software delivery and
support; classified and unclassified publications and technical
documentation; transportation support; 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 $730 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 ensuring it has modern and capable air-to-air
munitions. This sale will further advance the already high level of
Danish Air Force interoperability with U.S. Joint Forces and other
regional and NATO forces. 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
Arlington, VA. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any
offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any
offset agreement will be defined in negotiations.
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. 26-05
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 or surface-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 AMRAAM
containers, guidance sections, and control section spares.
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 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.
