Download as PDF 27662 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 93 / Thursday, May 14, 2015 / Notices POLICY JUSTIFICATION Malaysia—AIM–120C7 AMRAAM Missiles The Government of Malaysia has requested a possible sale of 10 AIM– 120C7 Advanced Medium Range Air-toAir Missiles (AMRAAM), missile containers, spare and repair parts, support and test equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment, U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistics support services, site surveys and studies, and other related elements of logistical and program support. The estimated cost is $21 million. This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a key partner which has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in Southeast Asia. This sale will increase Malaysia’s interoperability with the United States, enhancing regularly scheduled joint exercises and training. It also ensures a sustained air-to-air capability for Malaysia’s F/A–18D aircraft. Malaysia will use this capability as a deterrent to regional threats and to strengthen its homeland defense. Malaysia, which already has AMRAAM missiles in its inventory, will have no difficulty absorbing these additional missiles into its armed forces. The proposed sale of this equipment and support does not alter the basic military balance in the region. The principal contractor will be Raytheon Corporation in Tucson, Arizona. The purchaser has requested offsets. At this time, agreements are undetermined and will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and contractor. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Malaysia. There is no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
