Parts; Special Tools and Test Equipment (STTE); technical manuals and
publications; new equipment training; U.S. Government and contractor
technical engineering, logistics, and personnel services; and other
related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total
cost was $3.75 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $3.25
billion of this total.
This transmittal notifies inclusion of the following MDE items:
twenty-five (25) M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicles (ABVs); thirty-seven
(37) M2 .50 caliber machine guns; sixty thousand (60,000) 120 mm M908
High Explosive Obstacle Reduction--Tracer (HE-OR-T) cartridges; thirty

Positioning System (GPS) receivers and precise positioning provided by
Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module or M-Code; forward repair

the new items is $850 million. The value of the new MDE items accounts
for $450 million of this total, while the value of the new non-MDE
items accounts for the remaining $400 million. These values will not
require an increase to the previously notified MDE and non-MDE values
of $3.25 billion and $0.50 billion, respectively. The estimated total
cost will remain $3.75 billion.
(iv) Significance: This notification is being provided as the
additional MDE and non-MDE items were not enumerated in the original
notification. The inclusion of these items represents an increase in
capability over what was previously notified. The proposed sale will
support Poland's ability to meet current and future threats by
providing a credible force that is capable of deterring adversaries and
participating in NATO operations.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by
improving the security of a NATO Ally that is an important force for
political stability and economic progress in Europe.
(vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle
(ABV) is a tracked, combat engineer system designed to breach mine
fields and complex obstacles. It provides crew protection and vehicle
survivability while having the speed and mobility to keep pace with the
maneuver force. It can be equipped with either a Full Width Mine Plow
(FWMP) or the Combat Dozer Blade (CDB). The following sub-systems are
included in the ABV:
Armor: Major components of the armor are fabricated and assembled
into serialized removable subassemblies and installed in sealed
modules. The ABV chassis armor is the same armor that has been exported
in all FMS Abrams tanks. The turret armor is a tailored armor unique to
the ABV turret.
Integrated Vision System (IVS) for day/night operations: IVS has a
two-axis stabilized gimbal in addition to an Enhanced Situation
Awareness camera system. The IVS allows operators to remain under armor
while conducting their mission with maximum visual awareness around the
vehicle.
Commander's Weapon Station (CWS): Provides .50 caliber capability
that can be fired when the commander's hatch is in opened or closed
position.
Magnetic Signature Duplicator (MSD): The Magnetic Signature
Duplicator (MSD) provides a magnetic signature sufficiently in advance
of a vehicle to negate the effectiveness of magnetic influence mines.
The MSD increases the effectiveness and survivability of countermine
equipment by causing the stand-off detonation of magnetic influence
mines at a safe distance ahead of the host vehicle. The MSD can be
installed on various types of front-end equipment, including the FWMP.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: September 25, 2024
