POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Republic of Korea—Patriot Advanced 

Capability (PAC–3) Missiles 

The Republic of Korea (ROK) has 

requested a possible sale of 136 Patriot 

Advanced Capability (PAC–3) Missiles 

with containers and 2 Flight Test 

Targets (Patriot-As-A-Target (PAAT) 

modified short-range tactical ballistic 

missiles). Also included are 2 PAC–3 

Telemetry Kits, 10 Fire Solution 

Computers, 18 Launcher Stations 

Modification Kits, 8 Missile Round 

Trainers, 8 PAC–3 Slings, 10 Patriot 

Automated Logistics System Kits, 13 

Installation Kits for TPX–58 

Identification Friend or Foe with KIV– 

77, PAC–3 Ground Support Equipment 

(GSE), 10 Shorting Plugs, 77 Defense 

Advanced Global Positioning Receivers 

(DAGRs) and Installation Kits, Patriot 

Fiber Optic Modem, 8 Guided Missile 

Transporters, 4 AN/VRC–90E Radios 

with Installation Kits, spare and repair 

parts, support equipment, 

communication equipment, 

publications and technical 

documentation, personnel training and 

training equipment, U.S. Government 

and contractor logistics and technical 

support services, Quality Assurance 

Teams’ support, and other related 

elements of logistics and program 

support. The estimated cost is $1.405 

billion. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

meeting the legitimate security and 

defense needs of an ally and partner 

nation. The ROK is one of the major 

political and economic powers in East 

Asia and the Western Pacific and a key 

partner of the United States in ensuring 

peace and stability in that region. It is 

vital to U.S. national interests to assist 

our Korean ally in developing and 

maintaining a strong and ready selfdefense capability. 

The ROK requires the PAC–3 missiles 

to effectively conduct and sustain BMD 

operations, as well as serve as a core 

component to the ROK’s future Korea 

Air Missile Defense (KAMD). This sale 

will increase interoperability between 

the ROK’s ground and sea-based (Aegis) 

BMD forces and U.S. Forces Korea 

(USFK), which not only affects ROK 

national security but also the security of 

the U.S. personnel assigned in the ROK. 

This sale will provide the ROK with the 

capability to defeat lower tier Ballistic 

Missile Defense (BMD) threats, and will 

decrease the ROK’s reliance on the 

deployment of U.S. combat forces to 

maintain stability in the region. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractors will be 

Raytheon Corporation in Andover, 

Massachusetts; and Lockheed Martin 

Missiles and Fire Control in Dallas, 

Texas. There are no known offset 

requirements in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor personnel to Korea. However, 

U.S. Government or contractor 

personnel will be required, on a 

temporary basis, to conduct in-country 

visits in conjunction with program 

technical and management oversight 

and support requirements. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale. 

Transmittal No. 14–52 

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: 

1. The Patriot Air Defense System 

contains classified Confidential 

hardware components and critical/

sensitive technology. The Patriot 

Advanced Capability-3 (PAC–3) Missile 

Four-Pack is classified Confidential and 

the improved PAC–3 launcher hardware 

is Unclassified. The missiles requested 

represent significant technological 

advances for the existing Republic of 

Korea Patriot system capabilities. With 

the incorporation of the PAC–3 missile, 

the Patriot System will continue to hold 

a significant technology lead over other 

surface-to-air missiles systems in the 

world. 

2. The PAC–3 sensitive/critical 

technology is primarily in the area of 

design and production know-how and 

primarily inherent in the design, 

development and/or manufacturing data 

related to certain components. The list 

of components is classified 

Confidential. 

3. Information on system performance 

capabilities, effectiveness, survivability, 

PAC–3 Missile seeker capabilities, select 

software/software documentation and 

test data are classified up to and 

including 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 advanced capabilities. 

5. A determination has been made 

that the recipient country can provide 

the same degree of protection for the 

sensitive technology being released as 

the U.S. Government. This sale is 

necessary in furtherance of the US 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives outlined in the Policy 

Justification.
