Denmark - Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles with Extended Range

June 08, 2026

The U.S. Department of State has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Denmark for its purchase of Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles with Extended Range and related equipment. The estimated total cost is $842 million.

The Government of Denmark has requested to buy two hundred (200) AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles with Extended Range (JASSM-ER).  The following non-major defense equipment items will also be included:  JASSM test and support equipment, and containers; spare parts, consumables, accessories, and repair and return support; weapon system support; precise positioning Global Positioning System; classified and unclassified software delivery and support; classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation; site surveys; transportation support; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. 

This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.

The proposed sale will improve Denmark’s capability to meet current and future threats by providing the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) with the ability to conduct long-range precision strikes, strengthening RDAF F-35 aircraft capabilities.  Denmark will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin, located in Orlando, Florida. 

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
