This will include, but not be limited to, U.S. Government inventories of the Tomahawk Weapon System (TWS) by serial number, review of security controls and procedures, inventory and accountability documentation, transportation access controls, and storage of hardware and technical data. The TWS missile requires Category III protection as stated in Department of Defense (DoD) manual 5100.76-M, "Physical Security of Sensitive Conventional Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives," current version. Specific requirements for the protection of the TWS missiles listed on this offer must be documented and agreed upon during the site visit referenced in Paragraph 6 of this note and implemented prior to delivery of the missiles. The purchaser agrees to adhere to the security requirements and U.S. Government verification checks as outlined in the following paragraphs.
  2. Storage. The TWS missiles must be stored in facilities that are at least equivalent in strength to U.S. Government requirements. Specific requirements for storage must be agreed upon and met prior to delivery of the missiles. U.S. Government representatives must be allowed to verify security measures and procedures prior to and following the delivery of the missiles.
  3. Inventory and Accountability Documentation. The purchaser must have procedures in place that provide a continuous accounting of TWS missile receipt, transfer, storage, shipment. The purchaser agrees to inventory 100% of the missiles on this Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA), serial number to missile, on a monthly basis. The U.S. Government must be permitted, upon request, to conduct an assessment of the physical security and accountability measures and inventory 100% of all missiles transferred under this LOA. Inventory and accountability documentation by the purchaser must be retained throughout the period of ownership and must be made available for review upon U.S. Government request. The purchaser must immediately notify the U.S. Government (through the Security Cooperation Organization (SCO) to the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA)) of any missile expenditures, compromises, or losses and provide necessary assistance if the U.S. Government desires to initiate recovery operations.
  4. Storage of Hardware and Technical Data. Storage of missile hardware and technical data must meet U.S. Government standards for safeguarding the missile. The purchaser must maintain strict accountability records on all classified information provided by the U.S. Government related to the missiles including extracts and copies. These records must include documentary evidence of any missiles or components that are lost or destroyed. These records must be made available for review upon U.S. Government request. Such records will, to the extent possible, be centralized.
    1. Doors, Locks, and Keys. Exterior doors will be class five steel vault doors secured by a key-operated high security padlock and hasp. Use of a master or multiple key system is prohibited.
    2. Fencing. Fencing will be six-foot (minimum) steel chain link with a one-foot overhang mounted on steel or reinforced concrete posts over firm base. Clear zones will be established 30 feet inside and 12 feet outside the perimeter. A 45-degree outrigger or "Y" configuration with 3 strands of barbwire is required on the fencing. The bottom of the fence will extend 2 inches into the ground.
  5. Reporting. The purchaser must report immediately to the SCO, or other appropriate U.S. Government representative, any allegations, confirmed or unconfirmed, of missile hardware technology or software released or compromised to unauthorized nationals, third country nationals, or a foreign government.

Except under conditions that are identified by the Tomahawk Weapons System Program Office (PMA-280), maintenance by the purchaser is prohibited. Upon approval by the U.S. Government, the purchaser's military, civilian, or industry personnel may receive the oral and visual information necessary to integrate the TWS missile.
  7. Depot Level Maintenance. Missiles that require depot level repair must be transported to designated depot level repair facilities in the U.S. under the proper security procedures.
  8. Site Survey. Prior to the delivery of the missiles, the U.S. Government will conduct an in-country site survey of the physical security measures and logistic chain for all facilities of the purchaser designated for storage of the TWS missiles.
    1. 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 TWS missiles. The checklist is used to indicate that the integrity of the security measures in place for the storage of TWS missiles will ensure the equivalent level of security protection as the U.S. Government.
    2. Deficiencies identified during the site survey must be corrected prior to delivery of any TWS missiles.
    3. The purchaser agrees to adhere to the security requirements associated with the life cycle of the TWS missiles. The purchaser agrees to allow U.S. Government verification of security arrangements for the protection of the TWS missiles on both a scheduled and unscheduled basis.
