The Biden administration has approved a possible sale of Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missiles-Extended Range (AARGM-ERs) to the Government of Australia. The proposed sale includes up to 63 AARGM-ERs, 20 AARGM-ER Captive Air Training Missiles, and related equipment for an estimated cost of $506 million. This sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States, as Australia is one of the United States’ most important allies in the Western Pacific.
