The US State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale (FMS) to the Government of Denmark of AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles and related equipment for an estimated cost of US $730 million (approx. A $1.1 billion). The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has delivered the required certification notifying Congress.
Denmark has requested to buy 200 AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) and three AIM-120-C8 AMRAAM guidance sections.
The following nonmajor defence equipment items will also be included: AMRAAM control sections, containers, and support equipment; spare parts, consumables and accessories, and repair and return support; weapons software and support equipment; classified and unclassified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation; transportation support; US Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.
The proposed sale will improve Denmark’s capability to meet current and future threats by ensuring it has modern and capable air-to-air munitions. This sale will further advance the already high level of Danish Air Force interoperability with US Joint Forces and other regional and NATO forces.
The principal contractor will be RTX Corporation, located in Arlington, Virginia. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional US Government or contractor representatives to Denmark.
