POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Denmark--AIM-120 C-7 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM)

    The Government of Denmark has requested to buy twenty-eight (28) 
AIM-120 C-7 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and one 
(1) AMRAAM spare guidance section. Also included are 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, and technical support services, 
and other related elements of logistics and program support. The total 
estimated program cost is $90 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 NATO ally that is an important force for political 
stability and economic progress in the European region.
    This proposed sale would support Denmark's F-16 and future F-35 
fighter programs and enhance Denmark's ability to provide for its own 
territorial defense and support coalition operations. The proposed sale 
also enables interoperability and standardization between the armed 
forces of Denmark and the United States. Denmark already maintains the 
AIM-120B in its inventory and will have no difficulty absorbing this 
additional equipment and support into its armed forces.
    The proposed sale of these systems and equipment will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The principal contractor will be Raytheon Cooperation 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 Denmark.
    There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a 
result of this proposed sale.

guided missile featuring digital technology and micro-miniature solid-
state electronics. AMRAAM capabilities include look-down/shoot-down,
