POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

The Netherlands—Hellfire Missiles 

The Government of the Netherlands 

has requested to buy up to three 

hundred eighty-six (386) Hellfire Air-toGround Missiles, AGM–114R2. Also 

included is U.S. Army Aviation and 

Missile Command (AMCOM) Security 

Assistance Management Directorate 

(SAMD) technical assistance; Tactical 

Aviation and Ground Munitions 

(TAGM) Project Office technical 

assistance; non-standard books, 

publications, and other Hellfire 

publications; integration support; and 

other related elements of logistics and 

program support. The estimated total 

cost is $150 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 

Netherlands’ capability to strengthen its 

homeland defense and deter regional 

threats. This will contribute to its 

military goals of updating capability 

while further enhancing interoperability 

with the U.S. and other allies. The 

Netherlands will have no difficulty 

absorbing this equipment 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 

Lockheed Martin Corporation in 

Orlando, FL. The purchaser typically 

requests offsets. Any offset agreement 

will be defined in negotiations between 

the purchaser and the contractor(s). 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to travel to 

the Netherlands for program 

management reviews to support the 

program. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The AGM–114R2 Hellfire Missile 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, and improved safety 

and reliability. 

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 the Netherlands 

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 Netherlands.

system used with the UH–60. A noncommunications security (COMSEC) 

export variant of this radio that meets 

these requirements will be provided. 

b. AN/ARC–231 RT–1808A (or future 

replacement) VHF/UHF/LOS satellite 

communications (SATCOM) Radios. 

The AN/ARC–231 is a softwaredefinable radio for military aircraft that 

provides two-way, multi-mode voice 

and data communications over a 30 Hz 

to 512 MHz frequency range. It covers 

both line-of-sight ultra-high frequency 

(UHF) and VHF bands with amplitude 

modulation (AM), FM, and SATCOM 

capabilities. 

c. The AN/ARC–231A is a softwaredefinable radio for military aircraft that 

provides two-way, multi-mode voice 

and data communications over a 30 Hz 

to 512 MHz frequency range. No 

designated exportable, non-COMSEC 

capable version is planned. The AN/ 

ARC–231A supports both line-of-sight 

UHF and VHF bands with AM, FM, and 

SATCOM capabilities. It also includes 

embedded frequency agile modes,

capabilities. The ARC–210 radio also 

includes embedded anti-jam waveforms, 

including Have Quick and SINCGARS, 

and other data link and secure 

communications features, providing 

total battlefield interoperability and 

high-performance capabilities in the 

transfer of data, voice, and imagery. The 

software-programmable encryption is 

under the NSA Cryptographic 

Modernization Initiative. 

e. The AN/ARC–220 High Frequency 

(HF) Airborne Communication System 

provides rotary-wing aircraft with 

advanced voice and data capabilities for 

short-and long-distance 

communications. The system is software 

programmable with a frequency range of 

2.0000–29.9999 MHz, in 100 Hz steps 

and provides for providing embedded 

automatic Link establishment (ALE), 

serial tone data modem, text messaging, 

GPS position reporting, and anti-jam 

(ECCM) functions. 

f. The AN/APX–123A (or future 

replacement) Identification Friend or 

Foe (IFF) Transponder is a space 

diversity transponder and is installed on 

various military platforms. When 

installed in conjunction with platform 

antennas and the remote-control unit (or 

other appropriate control unit), the 

transponder provides identification, 

altitude, and surveillance reporting in 

response to interrogations from 

airborne, ground-based, and surface 

interrogators. The transponder will be 

classified SECRET if MODE IV, MODE 

5, or MODE S fill is installed in the 

equipment with a crypto device. This 

item contains sensitive technology. 

g. The VRC–100 HF Communication

deployed to identify cooperative, 

friendly systems. The KIV–77 contains 

embedded security, and when keys are 

loaded is classified up to Secret. 

j. The KY–100M is a self-contained 

terminal including COMSEC that 

provides for secure voice and data 

communications in tactical airborne and 

ground environments. It is an integral 

part of U.S. Forces’ and Federal law 

enforcement agencies’ networks and 

provides half-duplex, narrowband, and 

wideband communications. Its flexible
