The State Department announced the decision on Tuesday, confirming the package will support the Singaporean military's existing fleet of AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicopters.
The State Department noted that the proposed sale would not alter the basic military balance in the region, a standard assessment for such arms transfers.
The munitions are designed to enhance the precision-strike capabilities of the helicopters, which form a core component of Singapore's air defense strategy.
