POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

United Kingdom—Joint Air-to-Ground 

Missiles (JAGM) 

The Government of the United 

Kingdom has requested to buy three 

thousand (3,000) JAGM, AGM–179A. 

Also included are dummy missiles; 

technical assistance; publications; 

integration support; and other related 

elements of logistics and program 

support. The total estimated program 

cost is $957.4 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the United States 

(U.S.) by improving the security of a 

NATO Ally that is a force for political 

stability and economic progress in 

Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve the 

United Kingdom’s capability to meet 

current and future threats. The United 

Kingdom will use the enhanced 

capability to strengthen its homeland 

defense and deter regional threats. The 

United Kingdom 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 the 

Lockheed Martin Corporation, Orlando, 

FL. 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 

U.S. Government or contractor 

representatives to the United Kingdom. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

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 JAGM all up round (AUR), 

designated AGM–179A, is an Air-toGround Missile (AGM) consisting of a 

HELLFIRE Romeo (AGM–114R) backend (i.e., propulsion, warhead, and 

control sections) mated to a newly 

designed dual-mode Guidance Section 

(GS). The dual-mode GS is a 

combination of Millimeter Wave 

(MMW) and Semi-Active Laser (SAL) 

sensors co-axially aligned on a steerable 

gimbal. The combination of MMW and 

SAL sensors provide improved 

Precision Point and Fire-and-Forget 

capabilities onto a single munition. This 

combination allows targeting capability 

against fast moving and stationary 

targets in countermeasure and/or a 

battlefield intensive environment, and 

in low cloud ceiling and adverse 

weather. 

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 United Kingdom 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 the United Kingdom.
