Arms Export Control Act. 

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

The Netherlands—Joint Air-to-Surface 

Standoff Missiles with Extended Range 

The Government of the Netherlands 

has requested to buy one hundred 

twenty (120) AGM–158B/B–2 Joint Airto-Surface Standoff Missiles with 

Extended Range (JASSM–ER) All-UpRounds; fifteen (15) AGM–158 Inert 

JASSMs with Test Instrumentation Kits; 

two (2) AGM–158 JASSM Separation 

Test Vehicles; one (1) AGM–158 

Instrumented Test Vehicle; and two (2) 

JASSM Jettison Test Vehicles. Also 

included are AGM–158 JASSM Dummy 

Air Training Missiles (DATM) and 

containers; KGV–135A encryption 

devices; test and integration equipment 

and support; spare parts, consumables, 

accessories, and repair and return 

support; munitions support and support 

equipment; classified and unclassified 

publications and technical 

documentation; Contractor Logistics 

Support (CLS); transportation support; 

personnel training and training 

equipment; studies and surveys; 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 $908 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the United States 

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 meet current 

and future threats by increasing its 

airborne, long-range, precision-strike 

combat capability. The Netherlands will 

use these systems to defend NATO 

Allies and deter aggression. The 

Netherlands 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 

Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire 

Control, Orlando, FL. The purchaser 

typically requests offsets. Any offset 

agreement will be defined in 

negotiations between the purchaser and 

the contractor. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to the 

Netherlands. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 23–89 

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 AGM–158B Joint Air-toSurface Standoff Missile with Extended 

Range (JASSM–ER) All Up Round is a 

low-observable, highly-survivable, 

subsonic cruise missile designed to 

penetrate next-generation air defense 

systems enroute to target. The JASSM– 

ER is designed to kill hard, mediumhardened, soft, and area type targets. 

The extended range over the baseline 

was obtained by going from a turbo jet 

to a turbo-fan engine and by 

reconfiguring the fuel tanks for added 

capacity. 

The AGM–158B–2 system capabilities 

include all the capabilities of the AGM– 

158B. The AGM–158B–2 configuration 

will have different internal components 

to address multiple obsolescence issues 

as well as subcomponent updates to 

position for M–Code and other potential 

upgrades. 

2. The KGV–135A is a high-speed, 

general purpose encryptor/decryptor 

module used for wide-band data 

encryption. 

3. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

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 that 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 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. 

6. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Netherlands.
