Arms Export Control Act.
POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Qatar—RIM–116C and RIM–116C–2
Rolling Airframe Missiles
The Government of Qatar has
requested a possible sale of twohundred and fifty-two (252) RIM–116C
Rolling Airframe Tactical Missiles, and
two (2) RIM 116C–2 Rolling Airframe
Telemetry Missiles. Also included are
support equipment, publications and
technical documentation, personnel
training, U.S. Government and
contractor engineering, technical and
logistics support services, live fire test
event support, and other related
integration elements. The total
estimated value of MDE is $227 million.
The overall total estimated value is $260
million.
This proposed sale contributes to the
foreign policy and national security of
the United States by helping to improve
the security of a friendly country. Qatar
is an important force for political
stability and economic progress in the
Persian Gulf region. This proposed sale
will provide Qatar with military
capabilities to protect its naval forces
and nearby oil/gas infrastructure from
air and missile threats. Qatar will have
no difficulty absorbing these missiles
into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment,
services, and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be
Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson,
Arizona. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require multiple trips by U.S.
Government and contractor
representatives to participate in program
and technical reviews, system
integration, as well as training and
maintenance support in country for a
period of thirty-six (36) months.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

surface-to-air tactical missile for ship
self-defense against current and
evolving anti-ship cruise missile threats.
Advanced technology in the RIM–116C
includes dual-mode RF/IR (radio
frequency/infrared) guidance with IR
all-the-way capability for non-emitting
threats. The highest classification of the
hardware, embedded software, and
maintenance is CONFIDENTIAL. The
RIM–116C–2 is a non-tactical telemetry
round, used primarily for test and
training purposes; it includes an
unclassified telemeter which replaces
the warhead section. The data set,
generated by RIM–116C–2 is
UNCLASSIFIED.
The Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM)
is a product of a cooperative program
with Germany and has been executed,
since 1976, under a series of governing
Memoranda of Understanding/
Memoranda of Agreements (MOU/
MOAs) for the development,
production, and in-service support
between the United States and
Germany.
A determination has been made that
the Government of Qatar can provide
substantially the same degree of
protection for the sensitive technology
being released as the U.S. Government.
This sale is necessary in furtherance of
U.S. foreign policy and national security
objectives outlined in the Policy
Justification.
All defense articles and services listed
in this transmittal have been authorized
for release and export to the
Government of Qatar.
