Overview
- The State Department’s DSCA notice outlines up to 3,350 ERAM air‑launched missiles and 3,350 embedded GPS/INS units plus software, training, spares and support services.
- Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway are providing most of the financing alongside U.S. Foreign Military Financing under a Europe-led funding model.
- The notification is not a signed contract, so congressional approval, final terms and delivery timelines remain pending despite reports suggesting initial shipments could come within weeks.
- Zone 5 Technologies and CoAspire are named as principal contractors, and Pentagon records show more than $67.3 million was obligated through rapid prototyping OTAs to accelerate ERAM development.
- Public reporting varies on ERAM’s range and use, and multiple outlets say U.S. approval may be required for any strikes into Russian territory.
