POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Singapore--Hellfire Missiles

    The Government of Singapore has requested to buy an additional 
twenty-four (24) AGM-114R Hellfire missiles; U.S. Government and 
contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and 
other related elements of logistics and program support that will be 
added to a previously implemented case whose value was under the 
congressional notification threshold. The original Foreign Military 
Sales (FMS) case, valued at $12.4 million ($9.4 million in major 
defense equipment (MDE), included personnel training and training 
equipment; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and 
logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and 
program support. This notification is for a combined total of sixty-
seven (67) Hellfire missiles (AGM-114R). The following non-MDE items 
will also be included: five (5) years of AGM-114R Hellfire spare parts; 
Hellfire technical manual; reprogramming of M299 launchers; return and 
repair material and services; technical publications; unguided 
munitions and services; software verification and calibration of AN/
AWM-101; Hellfire missiles and support equipment; chaff, flares, and 
technical assistance; 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 $22.3 
million.
    This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national 
security objectives of the United States 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 improve Singapore's capability to meet 
current and future threats by enhancing and extending the Singapore Air 
Force's ability to conduct operations and enable effective training. 
Singapore will have no difficulty absorbing this training 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 Lockheed Martin Corporation, 
located in Orlando, FL. 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 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 Singapore.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.

Annex
Item No. vii
    (vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
    1. The Hellfire missile (AGM-114R) is a precision strike, Semi-
Active Laser guided missile and is the principal AGM for the Army. The 
AGM-114R missile provides the warfighter with an air-to-ground, point-
target precision strike capability to defeat advanced armor and an 
array of traditional and nontraditional targets.
    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 Singapore can provide 
substantially

the same degree of protection for the sensitive technology being 
released as the U.S. Government. This proposed 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 
Singapore.
