agreement for the invention described 

in: 

—Air Force Disclosure Docket No. AFD

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Government of the Netherlands—AIM– 

120 C–7 Advanced Medium Range Airto-Air Missile (AMRAAM) 

The Government of the Netherlands 

has requested a possible sale of twentysix (26) AIM–120 C–7 Advanced 

Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles 

(AMRAAM), one (1) AMRAAM 

Guidance Section Spare (MDE items), 

twenty (20) AMRAAM Captive Air 

Training Missiles (CATM), missile 

containers, control section spares, 

weapon systems support, test 

equipment, spare and repair parts, 

publications and technical 

documentation, personnel training, 

training equipment, U.S. Government 

and contractor engineering, logistics, 

technical support services, and other 

related elements of logistics and 

program support. The estimated total 

case value is $53 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

helping to improve the security of a 

NATO Ally which continues to be an 

important force for political stability 

and economic progress in Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve the 

Netherland’s capabilities for mutual 

defense, regional security, force 

modernization, and U.S. and NATO 

interoperability. This sale will enhance 

the Royal Netherlands Air Force’s 

ability to defend the Netherlands against 

future threats and contribute to current 

and future NATO operations. The 

Netherlands maintains the AIM–120B in 

its inventory and will have no difficulty 

absorbing these missiles into its armed 

forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

will not alter the basic military balance 

in the region. 

The prime contractor will be 

Raytheon Missile Systems, Tucson, AZ. 

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 personnel 

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. 17–46 

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. AIM–120C Advanced Medium 

Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) is 

a radar-guided missile featuring digital 

technology and micro-miniature solidstate electronics. AMRAAM capabilities 

include look-down/shoot-down, 

multiple launches against multiple 

targets, resistance to electronic counter 

measures, and interception of high 

flying, low flying, and maneuvering 

targets. The AMRAAM is classified 

CONFIDENTIAL, major components 

and subsystems range from 

UNCLASSIFIED to CONFIDENTIAL, 

and technology data and other 

documentation are classified up to 

SECRET. 

2. If a technologically advanced 

adversary obtains knowledge of the 

specific hardware and software 

elements, the information could be used 

to develop countermeasures or 

equivalent systems that might reduce 

weapon system effectiveness or be used 

in the development of a system with 

similar or advanced capabilities. 

3. 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 proposed sale is 

necessary to the furtherance of the U.S. 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives outlined in the policy 

justification. 

4. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal are authorized 

for release and export to the 

Government of the Netherlands.
