POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Poland—Sniper Advanced Targeting 

Pods 

The Government of Poland has 

requested to buy thirty-four (34) AN/ 

AAQ–33 Sniper Advanced Targeting 

Pods (ATP) with Shipping Containers. 

Also included are system support and 

support equipment; spare parts, 

consumables, accessories, and repair 

and return support; integration and test 

equipment and support; unclassified 

software delivery and support; 

unclassified Computer Program 

Identification Number (CPIN) systems; 

unclassified publications and technical 

documentation; personnel training and 

training equipment; U.S. Government 

and contractor engineering, technical 

and logistics support services; and other 

related elements of logistical and 

program support. The estimated total 

cost is $124.7 million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives of the United States by 

helping to improve the security of a 

NATO Ally that is a force for political 

stability and economic progress in 

Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve the 

tactical effectiveness of the FA–50 

fighter aircraft that Poland is buying 

from the Republic of Korea by 

enhancing its abilities to identify 

targets, track, and engage from a 

standoff distance; it will also increase 

interoperability with U.S. and NATO 

forces. Poland will have no difficulty 

absorbing these articles 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, Orlando, Florida. 

There are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

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.
