missiles. The estimated cost is $95
million.
This program will directly contribute
to the U.S. foreign and national security
policies by enhancing the close air
support capability of the United
Kingdom in support of NATO, ISAF,
and other coalition operations. Common
close air support capabilities greatly
increases interoperability between our
two countries’ military and
peacekeeping forces and allow for
greater burden sharing.
The proposed sale will support the
UK’s ability to meet current and future
threats by providing close air support to
counter enemy attacks on coalition
ground forces in Afghanistan. The UK,
which already has HELLFIRE missiles
in its inventory, will have no difficulty
absorbing these additional missiles.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be
Lockheed Martin Corporation of
Orlando, Florida. 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 or
contractor representatives to the United
Kingdom.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The AGM–114–N4/P4 HELLFIRE

9000 meters. The AGM–114–N4/P4
variant contains a shaped charge
warhead and a Semi-Active Laser (SAL)

seeker. SAL missiles home on laser
energy reflected off a target that has
been illuminated by a laser designator.
The weapon system hardware,
components, training, and
documentation provided with the sale
thereof are confidential. Software
sensitivity is primarily in the programs
that instruct the system on how to
operate in the presence of
countermeasures.
2. 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
system effectiveness or be used in the
