POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Norway—Small Diameter Bomb II 

The Government of Norway has 

requested to buy up to five hundred 

eighty (580) GBU–53/B Small Diameter 

Bombs-Increment II (SDB–II) All-UpRounds (AURs) that will be added to a 

previously implemented case. The 

original foreign military sales (FMS) 

case, valued at $18.9 million, included 

twenty (20) GBU–53/B, SDB–II AURs. 

This amendment will increase the MDE 

and total case values above notification 

thresholds and thus requires 

notification of the entire case. Therefore, 

this notification is for a total of up to six 

hundred (600) GBU–53/B, SDB–II 

AURs. Also included are SDB–II 

Weapon Load Crew Trainers (WLCT) 

and Practical Explosive Ordnance 

Disposal Trainers (PEDT); munitions 

support and support equipment; 

unclassified software delivery and 

support; spare parts, consumables, and 

accessories; repair and return support; 

modifications and maintenance support; 

transportation support; unclassified 

publications and technical 

documentation; personnel training 

equipment and support; studies and 

surveys; U.S. Government and 

contractor engineering, technical, and 

logistics support services; and other 

related elements of logistical and 

program support. The total estimated 

cost is $293 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the United States 

by improving the security of a NATO 

Ally that is an important force for 

political stability and economic progress 

in Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Norway’s capability to meet current and 

future threats by bolstering operational 

readiness while enhancing air and 

defense capabilities with a modernized 

weapon to support the new F–35A fleet. 

Norway will have no difficulty 

absorbing this equipment 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 

Raytheon Missile Systems, Tucson, AZ. 

There are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Norway. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 23–41 

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 GBU–53 Small Diameter BombIncrement II (SDB–II) Storm Breaker AllUp Round (AUR) is a 250-pound class 

precision-guided, semiautonomous, 

conventional, air-to-ground munition 

used to defeat moving targets through 

adverse weather from standoff range. 

The SDB–II has deployable wings and 

fins and uses Global Positioning 

System/Inertial Navigation System 

(GPS/INS) guidance, network-enabled 

datalink (Link–16 and Ultra High 

Frequency), and a multi-mode seeker 

(millimeter wave radar, imaging 

infrared, semi-active laser) to 

autonomously search, acquire, track, 

and defeat a variety of moving or 

stationary targets, at standoff range or 

close in, including a variety of attack 

modes. The SDB–II employs a multieffects warhead (blast, fragmentation, 

and shaped-charge) for maximum 

lethality against armored and soft 

targets. The SDB–II weapon system 

consists of the tactical AUR weapon, a 

4-place common carriage system, and 

mission planning system munitions 

application program (MAP). 

a. The SDB–II Weapon Load Crew 

Trainer (WLCT) is a mass mockup of the 

tactical AUR used for load crew and 

maintenance training. It does not 

contain energetics, a live fuze, any 

sensitive components, or hazardous 

material. It is not flight certified. 

b. The SDB–II Practical Explosive 

Ordnance Disposal Trainer (PEST) is an 

Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) 

training unit with sections and internal 

subassemblies which are identical to, or 

correlate to, the external hardware, 

sections, and internal subassemblies of 

the tactical AUR. The PEST does not 

contain energetics, a live fuze, any 

sensitive components, or hazardous 

material. It is not flight certified. 

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 Norway 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 Norway.
