POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Italy—AIM–120C–8 Advanced MediumRange Air-to-Air Missiles 

The Government of Italy has 

requested to buy twelve (12) AIM– 

120C–8 Advanced Medium Range Airto-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) that will be 

added to a previously implemented case 

whose value was under the 

congressional notification threshold. 

The original Foreign Military Sales 

(FMS) case, valued at $32.5 million 

($23.0 million in Major Defense 

Equipment (MDE)), included twelve (12) 

AIM–120C–8 AMRAAM missiles. This 

notification is for a combined total of 

twenty-four (24) AIM–120C–8 

AMRAAM missiles. Also included are 

Common Munitions Built-in-Test (BIT)/ 

Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE); 

ADU–891 Adaptor Group Test Set; 

AMRAAM containers and support 

equipment; integration and test support 

and equipment; munitions support and 

support equipment; spare parts, 

consumables and accessories, and repair 

and return support; contractor logistics 

support; classified software delivery and 

support; classified and unclassified 

publications and technical 

documentation; 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 

$69.3 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 Italy’s 

capability to meet current and future 

threats by ensuring Italy has modern, 

capable air-to-air munitions. It will also 

advance United States interoperability 

with NATO and the Italian Armed 

Forces. Italy already has AMRAAMs in 

its inventory and 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 RTX 

Corporation, Arlington, VA. 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 Italy. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 24–19 

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 Missiles 

(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. 

2. The Common Munitions Built-InTest (BIT)/Reprogramming Equipment 

(CMBRE) is support equipment used to 

interface with weapon systems to 

initiate and report BIT results, and to 

upload and 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 data, 

loading of munitions mission planning 

data, loading of Global Positioning 

System 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 Italy 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 

Italy.
