The United States government has authorized the potential sale of AMRAAM-ER air-to-air missiles for the NASAMS air defense systems of the Netherlands. The notification was reported on June 13th by the Department of State, informing the U.S. Congress of the potential operation through the FMS Program for its final approval. As is the case in these situations, once the legislative process is completed, the deal will need to be formalized with the respective purchase and production contracts of the involved parties.

According to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the government of the Netherlands requested from the United States the purchase of up to a total of 174 AMRAAM-ER extended-range air-to-air missiles, along with a package of AMRAAM-C8 guidance sections, containers, manuals, and technical assistance. The operation, primarily supplied by RTX Corporation (through Raytheon), has a value of USD 678 million.
