POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Government of Bahrain—Munitions 

The Government of Bahrain has 

requested three thousand two hundred 

(3,200) General Purpose (GP) and 

Penetrator Warhead bomb bodies to 

include: one thousand five hundred 

(1,500) MK–82 (500lbs) GP bomb 

bodies, six hundred (600) MK–83 

(1,000lbs) GP bomb bodies, six hundred 

(600) MK–84 (2,000lbs) GP bomb 

bodies, and five hundred (500) BLU–109 

(2,000lbs) Penetrator Warhead bomb 

bodies. Also included are spares and 

repair parts, support equipment, 

personnel training and training 

equipment, shipping and logistics 

services, publications and technical 

documentation, U.S. Government and 

contractor technical support services, 

containers, munitions components, test 

equipment, and other related elements 

of logistics and program support. The 

estimated total cost is $45 million. 

This proposed sale will enhance the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

helping to improve the security of a 

major non-NATO ally which is an 

important security partner in the region. 

The purchase of these munitions will 

bolster the Royal Bahraini Air Force’s 

ability to conduct and sustain air 

operations with its F–16 combat aircraft. 

Our mutual defense interests anchor our 

relationship and the Royal Bahraini Air 

Force plays a significant role in 

Bahrain’s defense. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Bahrain’s capability to meet current and 

future security threats. Bahrain will use 

these munitions as a deterrent to 

regional threats, strengthen its 

homeland defense, and execute counterterrorism operations. The GP bomb 

bodies would also better equip Bahrain 

to operate with U.S.-led and U.S.- 

supported coalition operations. Bahrain 

will have no difficulty absorbing these 

munitions into its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

There is no prime contractor planned 

for this effort; the munitions will be 

provided by the U.S. Government out of 

stock. There are no offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. or contractor 

representatives to Bahrain. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

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 Airto-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. 

Transmittal No. 18–24 

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. 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 lookdown/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.
