POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Government of Japan—AIM–9X Block II 

Sidewinder Missiles 

The Government of Japan has 

requested to buy forty-four (44) AIM–9X 

Sidewinder Block II Tactical Missiles; 

and twenty-nine (29) AIM–9X 

Sidewinder Captive Air Training 

Missiles (CATM). Also included are 

missile containers; spare and repair 

parts; repair of repairables; support and 

test equipment; publications and 

technical documentation; personnel 

training and training equipment; 

technical assistance, engineering, and 

logistics support services; transportation 

and program support; and other related 

elements of logistics and program 

support. The estimated total program 

cost is $59.03 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 

major ally that is a force for political 

stability and economic progress in the 

Indo-Pacific region. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Japan’s capability to meet current and 

future threats in the region. Providing 

this missile would complement U.S. 

capabilities, increase capacity in a highthreat region, and support U.S. and 

Japanese goals to promote regional 

stability and the strength of the alliance. 

Japan will have no difficulty absorbing 

these articles 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 RTX 

Corporation, 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 Japan. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

1. The AIM–9X Block II SIDEWINDER 

Missile represents a substantial increase 

in missile acquisition and kinematics

Mounted Cueing System. The most 

current AIM–9X Block II Operational 

Flight Software developed for all 

International Partner countries, which is 

authorized by USG Export Policy,

Missile capabilities such as Lock-OnAfter-Launch, Weapons Data Link, 

Surface Attack, and Surface Launch. No 

software source code or algorithms will 

be released. 

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 Japan 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
