POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Kuwait—AIM–9X–2 SIDEWINDER
Missiles
The Government of Kuwait has
requested a possible sale of 80 AIM–9X–
2 SIDEWINDER Block II All-Up-Round
Missiles, 26 CATM–9X–2 Captive Air
Training Missiles, 2 CATM–9X–2 Block

Dummy Air Training Missiles,
containers, missile support and test
equipment, provisioning, spare and
repair parts, personnel training and
training equipment, publications and
technical data, U.S. Government and
contractor technical assistance and
other related logistics support. The
estimated cost is $105 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 friendly
country that has been, and continues to
be, an important force for political
stability and economic progress in the
Middle East.
The Kuwait Air Force is modernizing
its fighter aircraft to better support its
own air defense needs. The proposed
sale of AIM–9X–2 missiles will enhance
Kuwait’s interoperability with the U.S.
and among other Central Command
nations, making it a more valuable
partner in an increasingly important
area of the world.
The proposed sale of this weapon
system will not alter the basic military
balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be
Raytheon Missile Systems Company in
Tucson, Arizona. There are no known
offset agreements in connection with
this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require travel of U.S. Government
or contractor representatives to Kuwait
on a temporary basis for program
technical support and management
oversight.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
invention uses a series of combined
passive neutron and gamma ray sensors
and sensor aggregators, systematically
placed along a path of commercial
traffic, for example an airport runway,
combined with a pulsed source of
monoenergetic gamma rays and low
energy neutrons. The pulsed source
produces a short interrogation pulse of
monoenergetic gamma rays and low
energy neutrons. These gamma rays
induce a fission reaction in any fissile
material in their path, such as in a
moving vehicle, creating gamma rays
and neutrons. The passive sensors
located in the path of the moving
vehicle detect the resultant gamma and
neutron products of the reaction.

kinematics performance over the AIM–
9M and replaces the AIM–9X–1 Block I
missile configuration. The missile
includes a high off bore-sight seeker,
enhanced countermeasure rejection
capability, low drag/high angle of attack
airframe and the ability to integrate the
Helmet Mounted Cueing System. The
software algorithms are the most
sensitive portion of the AIM–9X–2
missile. The software continues to be
modified via a pre-planned product
improvement (P3I) program in order to
improve its counter-countermeasures
capabilities. No software source code or
algorithms will be released.
2. The AIM–9X–2 will result in the
transfer of sensitive technology and
information. The equipment, hardware,
and documentation are classified
Confidential. The software and
operational performance are classified
Secret. The seeker/guidance control
section and the target detector are
Confidential and contain sensitive stateof-the-art technology. Manuals and
technical documentation that are
necessary or support operational use
and organizational management are
classified up to Secret. Performance and
operating logic of the countercountermeasures circuits are classified
Secret. The hardware, software, and
data identified are classified to protect
vulnerabilities, design and performance
parameters and similar critical
information.
3. 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.
