munitions for its aircraft, and surface-to-air munitions for its
ground-based air defenses. This sale will further advance the already
high level of Danish Air Force interoperability with U.S. forces and
other regional and NATO forces. Denmark will have no difficulty in
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.

Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The AIM-120-C8 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, load trainers, guidance sections, and control section
spares.
a. The Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile-Extended Range
(AMRAAM-ER) utilizes an AIM-120-C8 seeker and warhead joined with a new
control section and rocket motor, applicable only for surface-launch
mode applications for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile
System (NASAMS). This provides extended range and altitude as well as
higher speed and maneuverability.
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.
