Estimado
Yo creo que va mas por el lado para obtener información del misil.
Saludos
En el otro foro en cuestión se debate que esto pudo ser un request for information en el marco del proyecto de conversión de los Fokker 60 a MMA allá por el 2012 (algo así como lo que Singapur hizo con sus Fokker 50 MPA). Sin embargo, el proyecto parece dormir el sueño de los justos. En el mismo foro se dice que ya anteriormente (2009) se había pedido la info, véase este link (abajo el detalle)
Saludos.

Hon. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Dear Madam Speaker: Pursuant to Section 36(c) of the Arms Export Control Act, I am transmitting, herewith, certification of a proposed manufacturing license agreement for the export of defense articles, including technical data and defense services, in the amount of $50,000,000 or more.
The transaction contained in the attached certification involves the export of defense services and defense articles, including technical data, related to the manufacture of Harpoon Weapon System missile canisters and capsules for the Ministries of Defence for the following countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Egypt, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, The Netherlands, Pakistan, Peru, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
The United States Government is prepared to license the export of these items having taken into account political, military, economic, human rights and arms control considerations.
More detailed information is contained in the formal certification which, though unclassified, contains business information submitted to the Department of State by the applicant, publication of which could cause competitive harm to the United States firm concerned.
Sincerely,
Michael C. Polt,
Acting Assistant Secretary Legislative Affairs.
