The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) notified Congress recently of a possible Foreign Military Sale of 300 AGM-114R3 Hellfire II missiles and associated support to Kuwait worth potentially $49 million, the agency said.
Lockheed Martin [LMT] develops the AGM-114R3 Hellfire II missile. The AGM-114R3 Hellfire II can be launched from multiple air, sea and ground platforms, autonomously or with remote designation, the company said in a statement.
In addition to the 300 Hellfire II missiles, Kuwait requested a variety of spares and support services, including support and test equipment, repair and return support, training equipment and personnel training.
DSCA said in a statement Kuwait intends to use these defense articles and services to modernize its armed forces and expand its existing Air Force architecture to counter threats posed by potential attack.
The deal is contingent on Congress’ approval.
