POLICY JUSTIFICATION
Poland--F-35 Sustainment
The Government of Poland has requested to buy equipment and
services in support of F-35 sustainment, including the aircraft engine
Component Improvement Program (CIP). The following non-MDE items will
be included: major and minor modifications; spare parts, consumables
and accessories, and repair and return support; weapon system support,
including software; classified software and delivery support;
classified and unclassified publications and technical documentation;
clothing, textiles, and individual equipment; U.S. Government and
contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and
other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated
total cost is $1.85 billion.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a NATO
Ally that is a force for political and economic stability in Europe.
[[Page 3462]]
The proposed sale will improve Poland's capability to meet current
and future threats by increasing the reliability of its F-35 fleet.
Poland will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services
into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Aeronautics
Company, located in Fort Worth, TX. At this time, the U.S. Government
is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this
potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations
between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to Poland.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
