The Netherlands has sought 265 AGM-88G Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missiles with Extended Range (AARGM-ER). The anticipated overall cost is $700 million.
The planned sale will help the Netherlands suppress and destroy land or sea-based radar transmitters associated with hostile air defences. This capacity prevents the adversary from using its air defence systems, increasing the survivability of the Netherlands' tactical aircraft. The Netherlands will have no trouble integrating this equipment into its military forces.
The primary contractor will be Northrop Grumman Systems.
