The package also covers common munitions bit/reprogramming equipment (CMBRE), publications and technical documentation, US Government and contractor logistics support services, and other related elements of logistics support.

Norway requires the missiles for mutual defence, regional security, force modernisation, and US and Nato interoperability.

The potential sale is primarily expected to boost the Royal Norwegian Air Force’s (RoNAF) ability to defend Norway against future threats, while also contributing to existing and future Nato operations.

The sale also contributes to the foreign policy and national security of the US by helping to improve the security of a Nato ally, which has been an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.
