POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Denmark--AIM-120 C-7 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM)

The Government of Denmark has requested to buy twenty-eight (28)
AIM-120 C-7 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and one
(1) AMRAAM spare guidance section. Also included are missile
containers, control section spares, weapon systems support, test
equipment, spare and repair parts, publications and technical
documentation, personnel training, training equipment, U.S. Government
and contractor engineering, logistics, and technical support services,
and other related elements of logistics and program support. The total
estimated program cost is $90 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and
national security of the United States by helping to improve the
security of a NATO ally that is an important force for political
stability and economic progress in the European region.
This proposed sale would support Denmark's F-16 and future F-35
fighter programs and enhance Denmark's ability to provide for its own
territorial defense and support coalition operations. The proposed sale
also enables interoperability and standardization between the armed
forces of Denmark and the United States. Denmark already maintains the
AIM-120B in its inventory and will have no difficulty absorbing this
additional equipment and support into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of these systems and equipment will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be Raytheon Cooperation in Tucson,
Arizona. The purchaser has requested offsets. At this time, agreements
are undetermined and will be defined in negotiations between the
purchaser and 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.

Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. AIM-120C Advance Medium Range Air-to-Air (AMRAAM) is a radar-
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
counter measures, and interception of high flying and low flying and
maneuvering targets. The AMRAAM All Up Round is classified
CONFIDENTIAL, major components and subsystems range from UNCLASSIFIED
to CONFIDENTIAL, and technology data and other documentation are
classified up to SECRET.
2. If a technologically advanced adversary were to obtain knowledge
of the hardware and software elements, the information could be used to
develop countermeasures or equivalent systems which might reduce system
effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
3. 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.
4. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to Denmark.
