The Defence Department said the missiles will be sent under the Foreign Military Sales program to Bahrain, Germany, Poland, Qatar, Romania, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates.

Work on the contract will be performed in Huntsville, Alabama; Camden, Arkansas; Chelmsford, Massachusetts; Grand Prairie, Texas; and Lufkin, Texas, with an estimated completion date of 31 October 2024, the Defence Department added.
