Policy Justification 

Korea—AGM–114R1 Hellfire Missiles 

The Republic of Korea (ROK) has 

requested a possible sale of 400 AGM– 

114R1 Hellfire II Semi-Active Laser 

Missiles with containers, 100 ATM– 

114Q Air Training Missiles, and 12 

M36E8 Hellfire II Captive Air Training 

Missiles. The estimated cost is $81 

million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

meeting the legitimate security and 

defense needs of an ally and partner 

nation. The ROK is one of the major 

political and economic powers in East 

Asia and the Western Pacific and a key 

partner of the United States in ensuring 

peace and stability in that region. It is 

vital to the U.S. national interest to 

assist our Korean ally in developing and 

maintaining a strong and ready selfdefense capability. 

The ROK intends to use these Hellfire 

missiles to supplement its existing 

missile capability and current weapon 

inventory. This sale will contribute to 

the ROK’s force modernization goals 

and enhance interoperability with U.S. 

forces. The ROK will use this enhanced 

capability to strengthen its homeland 

defense and deter regional threats. The 

ROK is capable of absorbing and 

maintaining these missiles in its 

inventory. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be 

Lockheed Martin Corporation in 

Orlando, Florida. There are no known 

offset agreements in connection with 

this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require any additional U.S. 

Government or U.S. contractor 

personnel in Korea. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 15–12 

Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of 

Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the 

Arms Export Control Act, as amended 

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The AGM–114R Hellfire II Air-toGround Missile with container is used 

against heavy and light armored targets, 

thin skinned vehicles, urban structures, 

bunkers, caves and personnel. The 

missile is Inertial Measurement Unit 

(IMU) based, with a variable delay fuse, 

improved safety and reliability. The 

highest level of classified information 

that could be disclosed by a proposed 

sale or by testing of the end item is 

Secret; the highest level that must be 

disclosed for production, maintenance, 

or training is Confidential. 

2. The ATM–114Q Air Training 

Missile with mass stimulant warhead 

replicates the shape, aerodynamic 

properties, weight, center-of-gravity, 

and moment-of-inertia properties of a 

Hellfire II missile. The practice missile 

can be launched in a training 

environment simulating a tactical 

engagement without destroying the 

target. The highest level of classified 

information that could be disclosed by 

a proposed sale or by testing of the end 

item is Secret; the highest level that 

must be disclosed for maintenance, or 

training is Confidential. 

3. The M36E8 Captive Air Training 

Missile (CATM) consists of a functional 

guidance section coupled to an inert 

missile bus and is used for flight 

training but cannot be launched. The 

missile has an operational semi-active 

laser seeker that can search for and lockon to laser-designated targets. The 

CATM functions as a tactical missile 

(without launch capability) during 

captive carry on the aircraft, making it 

suitable for training the aircrew in 

simulated Hellfire missile target 

acquisition and lock. The highest level 

of classified information that could be 

disclosed by a proposed sale or by 

testing of the end item is Secret; the 

highest level that must be disclosed for 

production, maintenance, or training is 

Confidential. 

4. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the specific hardware and software 

elements, the information could be used 

to develop countermeasures or 

equivalent systems which might reduce 

weapon system effectiveness or be used 

in the development of a system with 

similar or advanced capabilities. 

5. A determination has been made 

that the recipient country can provide 

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. 

6. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Republic of Korea.
