POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Lithuania—AIM–120C–8 Advanced 

Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles 

(AMRAAM) 

The Government of Lithuania has 

requested to buy thirty-six (36) AIM– 

120C–8 Advanced Medium Range Airto-Air Missiles (AMRAAM); and one (1) 

AIM–120C–8 AMRAAM Guidance 

Section. Also included are Common 

Munitions Built-In-Test (BIT)/ 

Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE); 

ADU–891/E adapter group computer 

test sets; AIM–120 spare control 

sections and containers; other spare 

parts, consumables, accessories, and 

repair/return support; munitions 

support and support equipment; 

classified software delivery and support; 

classified and unclassified publications 

and technical documentation; CLS; 

personnel training and training 

equipment; studies and surveys; 

transportation support; U.S. 

Government and contractor engineering, 

technical, and logistics support services; 

and other related elements of logistics 

and program support. The estimated 

total cost is $100 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the U.S. by helping to improve the 

security of a NATO Ally that is an 

important force for ensuring peace and 

stability in Europe. 

This proposed sale will be for use 

with the National Advanced Surface-toAir Missile System (NASAMS) and will 

improve Lithuania’s capability to 

conduct self-defense and regional 

security missions while enhancing 

interoperability with the U.S. and other 

NATO members. Lithuania 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 Lithuania. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 23–75 

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, airlaunched, 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 a spare AMRAAM 

guidance section as well as spare 

control sections and containers. 

2. The Common Munitions Built-InTest (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. 

3. The ADU–891 Adapter Group Test 

Set provides the physical and electrical 

interface between the CMBRE and the 

missile. 

4. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

5. 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. 

6. A determination has been made 

that Lithuania 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. 

7. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to 

Lithuania.
