The Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Tuesday that the Danish government plans to purchase 203 AIM-120D-3 AMRAAM missiles and nine AIM-120D-3 AMRAAM guidance sections that include precise position provided by Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module or M-Code.
Weapon Sale to Denmark
According to the DCSA, the proposed foreign military sale will include spare AMRAAM control sections, missile containers, munitions support, weapons software, transportation support and other related elements of logistics services.
RTX was identified as the principal contractor of the proposed FMS.
Denmark will use the AMRAAM missiles to defend NATO allies and its partners and address current and future threats in the region. The planned acquisition will have no negative impact on U.S. defense readiness, the agency stated.
AMRAAM
AMRAAM is a dual-role missile designed for air-to-air and surface-launch engagements. The weapon system has been procured by 40 countries and integrated into variants of F-15, F-16, F/A-18, F-22, Eurofighter Typhoon and JAS-39 fighter jets.
In June, the State Department also approved the Netherlands’ request to purchase 174 AMRAAM-ER missiles and related equipment and services for about $678 million.
In addition, RTX’s Raytheon company recently secured a $1.2 billion contract modification from the U.S. Air Force to produce AMRAAM missiles for domestic and FMS customers.
