The U.S. Government will provide to the purchaser a security checklist and serial numbers that should be referenced during the site survey and throughout the life of the SM-6 missiles. The checklist is used to indicate that the integrity of the security measures in place for the storage of AURs will ensure the equivalent level of security protection as the U.S. Government.
Deficiencies identified during the site survey must be corrected prior to delivery of any AURs.
