POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Germany—AIM–120C–8 Advanced 

Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles 

(AMRAAM) 

The Government of Germany has 

requested to buy up to nine hundred 

sixty-nine (969) AIM–120C–8 Advanced 

Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles 

(AMRAAM); and up to twelve (12) 

AMRAAM C8 Guidance Sections. Also 

included are AIM–120 Captive Air 

Training Missiles (CATM); telemetry kit 

and control section spares and 

containers; KGV–135A Communications 

Security (COMSEC) devices; Common 

Munitions Built-in-Test Reprogramming 

Equipment (CMBRE); ADU 891 

Computer Test Set Adapter Groups; 

munitions support and support 

equipment; classified software delivery 

and support; spare parts, consumables, 

accessories, and repair and return 

support; transportation support; 

classified publications and technical 

documentation; studies and surveys; 

U.S. Government and contractor 

engineering, technical and logistics 

support services; and other related 

elements of logistical and program 

support. The estimated total cost is 

$2.90 billion. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by improving the 

security of a North Atlantic Treaty 

Organization (NATO) ally that is an 

important force for political and 

economic stability in Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Germany’s capability to meet current 

and future threats by ensuring they have 

modern, capable air-to-air munitions. 

This sale will further advance the 

already high level of German Air Force 

interoperability with U.S. joint forces 

and other regional and NATO forces. 

Germany already has AMRAAMs in its 

inventory and will have no difficulty 

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. 

The principal contractor will be 

Raytheon Missiles and Defense, 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 the Federal 

Republic of Germany. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 23–51 

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 AIM–120C–8 Advanced 

Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile 

(AMRAAM) is a supersonic, air 

launched, aerial intercept, 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 countermeasures, and 

interception of high- and low-flying and 

maneuvering targets. This potential sale 

will include Captive Air Training 

Missiles (CATM) as well as guidance 

section, control section, and telemetry 

system spares and containers. 

2. The KGV–135A is a high-speed, 

general purpose encryptor/decryptor 

module used for wide-band data 

encryption. 

3. Common Munitions Built-In-Test 

(BIT)/Reprogramming Equipment 

(CMBRE) is supporting equipment used 

to interface with weapon systems to 

initiate and report BIT results and 

upload/download flight software. 

CMBRE supports multiple munitions 

platforms with a range of applications 

that perform preflight checks, periodic 

maintenance checks, loading of 

Operational Flight Program (OFP) data, 

loading of munitions mission planning 

data, loading of Global Positioning 

System (GPS) cryptographic keys, and 

declassification of munitions memory. 

4. The ADU–891 Computer Test Set 

Adapter Groups provide the physical 

and electrical interface between the 

CMBRE and missile. 

5. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

6. 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. 

7. A determination has been made 

that the Government of Germany 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. 

8. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Government of Germany.
