(viii) Date Report Delivered to 

Congress: 06 January 2016 

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

The Government of Iraq—Hellfire 

Missiles and Captive Air Training 

Missiles 

The Government of Iraq has requested 

a possible sale of five thousand (5,000) 

AGM–114K/N/R Hellfire missiles; Ten 

(10) 114K M36E9 Captive Air Training 

Missiles; associated equipment; and 

defense services. The estimated major 

defense equipment (MDE) value is $750 

million. The total estimated value is 

$800 million. 

The proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

goals of the United States by helping to 

improve a critical capability of the Iraq 

Security Forces in defeating the Islamic 

State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). 

Iraq will use the Hellfire missiles to 

improve the Iraq Security Forces’ 

capability to support ongoing combat 

operations. Iraq will also use this 

capability in future contingency 

operations. Iraq, which already has 

Hellfire missiles, will face no difficulty 

absorbing these additional missiles 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 

Bethesda, Maryland. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require any additional U.S. 

Government or contractor 

representatives in Iraq. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 15–64 

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: 

The Hellfire Missile is primarily an 

air-to-surface missile with a multimission, multitarget, precision-strike 

capability. The Hellfire can be launched 

from multiple air platforms and is the 

primary precision weapon for the 

United States. 

The Captive Air Training Missile 

(CATM) is a training missile (NonNATO) that consists of a functional 

guidance section coupled to an inert 

missile bus. The missile has an 

operational semi-active laser seeker that 

can search for and lock-on to laserdesignated targets for pilot training, but 

it does not have a warhead or 

propulsion section and cannot be 

launched. 

The highest level of classified 

information that could be disclosed by 

a proposed sale or by testing of the end 

item is SECRET. Information required 

for maintenance or training is 

CONFIDENTIAL. Vulnerability data, 

countermeasures, vulnerability/

susceptibility analyses, and threat 

definitions are classified SECRET or 

CONFIDENTIAL. Release of detailed 

information to include discussions, 

reports and studies of system 

capabilities, vulnerabilities and 

limitations that lead to conclusions on 

specific tactics or other counter 

countermeasures (CCM) is not 

authorized for disclosure. 

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 system effectiveness or be used 

in the development of a system with 

similar or advanced capabilities. 

A determination has been made that 

the Government of Iraq can provide 

substantially the same degree of 

protection as the U.S. Government for 

the information proposed for release.

equipment, Advanced Identification 

Friend or Foe (IFF) (without Mode IV), 

operational flight program, and software 

computer programs. 

2. The AIM–9M–8/9 Sidewinder is a 

supersonic, heat-seeking, air-to-air 

missile carried by fighter aircraft. The 

hardware, software, and maintenance 

are classified CONFIDENTIAL. Pilot 

training, technical data, and 

documentation necessary for 

performance and operating information 

are classified SECRET. 

3. The Paveway II/III (GBU–10/12/24) 

weapon is classified CONFIDENTIAL. 

Information revealing target designation 

tactics and associated aircraft 

maneuvers, the probability of destroying 

specific/peculiar targets, vulnerabilities 

regarding countermeasures and the 

electromagnetic environment is 

classified SECRET. 

4. The AGM–65D/G/H/K Maverick 

air-to-ground missile is SECRET. The 

SECRET aspects of the Maverick system 

are tactics, information revealing its 

vulnerability to countermeasures, and 

counter-countermeasures. Manuals and 

maintenance have portions that are 

classified CONFIDENTIAL. Performance 

and operating logic of the 

countermeasures circuits are SECRET. 

5. The Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing 

System (JHMCS) is a modified HGU–55/ 

P helmet that incorporates a visorprojected Heads-Up Display to cue 

weapons and aircraft sensors to air and 

ground targets. The hardware is 

UNCLASSIFIED. The technical data and 

documents are classified up to SECRET. 

6. The PGU–28 20mm High Explosive 

Incendiary ammunition is a low-drag 

round designed to reduce in-flight drag 

and deceleration. It is a semi-armor 

piercing high explosive incendiary 

round. The PGU–27 A/B 20mm 

ammunition is the target practice 

version of the PGU–28. Both the PGU– 

27 and the PGU–28 are UNCLASSIFIED. 

7. The M61 20mm Vulcan Rotary 

Cannon is a six-barreled automatic 

cannon chambered in 20x102mm. This 

weapon is fixed mounted on fighter 

aircraft and is used for damaging and 

destroying aerial and ground targets. 

The cannon and the associated 

ammunition are UNCLASSIFIED. 

8. The MK–82 and MK84 are 500-lb 

and 2000-lb general purpose bombs 

respectively. These blast and 

fragmentation bombs are designed to 

attack soft and intermediately protected 

targets. The weapons are 

UNCLASSIFIED. 

9. The BLU–111 is a 500-lb bomb and 

the BLU–117 is a 2,000- lb bomb. Both 

bombs are similar to the MK–84 and are 

filled with the Insensitive Munitions 

explosive to resist exploding in fuel 

related fires. They are used by the U.S. 

Navy. The weapons are 

UNCLASSIFIED. 

10. MJU–7 Flares are a magnesiumbased Infrared (IR) countermeasure used 

for decoying air-to-air and surface-to-air 

missiles. The MJU–7 hardware is 

UNCLASSIFIED. Countermeasure 

effectiveness information is classified 

up to SECRET. 

11. RR–170 Chaff is a countermeasure 

used to decoy radars and radar-guided 

missiles. The hardware is

effectiveness information is classified 

up to SECRET. 

12. Software, hardware, and other 

data/information, which is classified or 

sensitive, is reviewed prior to release to 

protect system vulnerabilities, design 

data, and performance parameters. 

Some end-item hardware, software, and 

other data identified above are classified 

at the CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET 

level. Potential compromise of these 

systems is controlled through 

management of the basic software 

programs of highly sensitive systems 

and software-controlled weapon 

systems on a case-by-case basis. 

13. 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. 

14. This sale is necessary to further 

the U.S. foreign policy and national 

security objectives outlined in the 

Policy Justification. Moreover, the 

benefits derived from this sale, as 

outlined in the Policy Justification, 

outweigh the potential damage that 

could result if the sensitive technology 

were revealed to unauthorized persons. 

15. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Government of Iraq.
