POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Oman—TOW 2B Radio Frequency 

Missiles (BGM–71F–7–RF) and Support 

The Government of Oman has 

requested to buy three hundred one 

(301) Tube-Launched, OpticallyTracked, Wireless-Guided (TOW) 2B, 

Radio Frequency (RF) Missiles (BGM– 

71F–7–RF) (includes 7 ‘‘Fly-to-Buy’’ 

Missiles). Also included are U.S. 

Government and contractor technical, 

program, logistics, and engineering 

support services, and other related 

elements of logistics and program 

support. The estimated total cost is $70 

million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by helping to improve 

the security of a friendly country that 

continues to be an important force for 

political stability and economic progress 

in the Middle East. 

The proposed sale will improve the 

Royal Army of Oman’s capability to 

meet current and future threats by 

enhancing the strength of its homeland 

defense. Oman 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 Missiles & Defense, Tucson, 

Arizona. 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 U.S. 

contractor representatives to Oman. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 23–40 

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 Tube-Launched, OpticallyTracked, Wireless-Guided (TOW) 2B 

Radio Frequency (RF) Missile (BGM– 

71F–7–RF) is a top attack missile 

designed to defeat armored vehicles, 

reinforced urban structures, field 

fortifications and other such targets. 

TOW missiles are fired from a variety of 

TOW launchers used by the U.S. Army, 

USMC, and non-U.S. forces. The TOW 

2B RF missile can be launched from the 

same launcher as the wire-guided TOW 

2B missile without modification to the 

launcher. The TOW 2B missile (both 

wire and RF-guided) contains two 

tracker beacons (Xenon and thermal) for 

the launcher to track and guide the 

missile in flight. Guidance commands 

from the launcher are provided to the 

missile by the RF link contained within 

the missile case. 

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 the Government of Oman 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 Oman.
