a two-phase program for an Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD)
Battle Command System (IBCS) enabled Patriot Configuration-3+ with
Modernized Sensors and Components consisting of four (4) AN/MPQ-65
radar sets, four (4) engagement control stations, four (4) Radar
Interface Units (RIU) modification kits, sixteen (16) M903 Launching
stations adapted, eighteen (18) Launcher Integrated Network Kits
(LINKs) (included two (2) spares), two hundred eight (208) Patriot
Advanced Capabilty-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE)

current operations-IBCS EOCs, six (6) engagement operations-IBCS EOCs,
fifteen (15) Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN) relays, four (4)
Electrical Power Plants (EPP) III, and five (5) Multifunctional
Information Distribution Systems/Low Volume Terminals (MIDS/LVTs). Also
included with this request was communications equipment, tools and test
equipment, range and test programs, support equipment, prime movers,
generators, publications and technical documentation, training
equipment, spare and repair parts, personnel training, Technical
Assistance Field Team (TAFT), United States (U.S.) Government and
contractor technical, engineering, and logistics support services,
Systems Integration and Checkout (SICO), field office support, and
other related elements of logistics and program support. The total
estimated program cost was $10.5 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE)
constituted $6.8 billion of that total.
This transmittal notifies inclusion of the following additional MDE
items: seven hundred eighty-eight (788) PATRIOT Guidance Enhanced
Missile-Tactical (GEM-T) missiles. There are no additional non-MDE
items being reported with this notification. The estimated total value
of the new items is $5.8 billion. The estimated total MDE value will
increase by $5.8 billion. The non-MDE value will remain at $3.7
billion. The total case value will increase by $5.8 billion, resulting
in a revised estimated total case value of $16.3 billion. MDE will
constitute $12.6 billion of this total.
(iv) Significance: The proposed sale will improve Poland's
capability to meet current and future threats by enabling it to field a
credible force that can deter adversaries and participate in NATO
operations.
(v) Justification: This proposed sale will support the foreign
policy goals and national security objectives of the U.S. 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 PATRIOT Guidance Enhanced Missile-Tactical (GEM-T) missile is
one of the variants available to both U.S. forces and international
customers. The GEM-T missile provides improved ability to defeat
tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, or enemy aircraft in
complement to the PAC-3 missile. A modernized, digital fuze eliminates
obsolescence and introduces significant performance improvements
against tactical ballistic missile targets. This design increases
sensitivity for improved performance against high-speed tactical
ballistic missile targets.
The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is
CONFIDENTIAL.
(vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: May 15, 2025
