Inventory and accountability documentation maintained by the purchaser will be retained throughout the period of ownership and will be made available for review upon U.S. Government request.

    3. Storage of Hardware and Technical Data: Storage of AMRAAM hardware and technical data will meet U.S. standards for safeguarding the missile. The purchaser will maintain strict accountability records on all classified information provided by the U.S. Government related to AMRAAM missiles including extracts and copies.

The checklist is used to indicate the integrity of security measures in place for AMRAAM storage. Deficiencies identified during the initial site survey must be corrected prior to any AMRAAM deliveries. The purchaser agrees to adhere to security requirements associated with the AMRAAM system for the life of the system.

  7.
