The total estimated cost is $230 million. This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by improving the security of a NATO ally. This sale is consistent with U.S. initiatives to provide key allies in the region with modern systems that will enhance interoperability with U.S forces and increase security. This proposed sale improves Hungary’s defense capability to deter regional threats and strengthen its homeland defense. The sale is in support of Hungary’s acquisition of the National Advanced Surface to Air Missile System (NASAMS) air defense system and would provide a full range of protection from imminent hostile cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, rotary wing and fixed wing threats. This sale will contribute to Hungary’s interoperability with the United States and other allies. Hungary should not have any difficulties absorbing this equipment into its armed forces. The proposed sale of this equipment and support does not alter the basic military balance in the region. The prime contractor and integrator will be Raytheon Missile Systems, Tucson, AZ. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of additional U.S. Government and contractor representatives to Hungary. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale. Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act Annex Item No. vii (vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 1. AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile Extended Range (AMRAAM-ER) is a medium range ground based air defense missile capable in all-weather against multiple targets in a sophisticated electronic attack environment. AMRAAM-ER utilizes an active C-7 or C-8 seeker and warhead joined with a new control section and rocket motor. This provides extended range and altitude, higher speed and maneuverability, and has been extensively tested and proven. The AIM-120C-8 is a form, fit, function refresh of the AIM-120C-7 and is the next generation to be produced. AIM- PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 43561 120 Captive Air Training Missiles (CATM) are nonfunctioning, inert missile rounds used for armament load training, which simulate the correct size and weight of live missiles. 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 weapon system effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or advanced capabilities. 3. This sale is necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives outlined in the enclosed Policy Justification. A determination has been made that Hungary can provide the same degree of protection for the sensitive technology being released as the U.S. Government. 4. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal have been authorized for release and export to Hungary.
