Overview
- The Netherlands requested as many as 232 AIM-120C-8 AMRAAMs and up to eight guidance sections, according to the DSCA filing.
- The package includes spares, Captive Air Training Missiles, missile containers, software and documentation, training, and logistics and repair support.
- RTX Corporation of Arlington, Virginia, is named as the principal contractor for the proposed sale.
- U.S. officials say the transfer would bolster a NATO ally without altering the region’s basic military balance, and the Netherlands already fields AMRAAMs.
- The notification is not a contract, with final quantities, pricing, offsets, and delivery details to be set in subsequent negotiations, and no additional U.S. personnel are required.
