POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Poland—Integrated Air and Missile 

Defense (IAMD) Battle Command 

System (IBCS) 

The Government of Poland has 

requested to buy phase two of a twophase program for an Integrated Air and 

Missile Defense Battle Command 

System (IBCS) enabled PATRIOT 

Configuration-3+ with modernized 

sensors and components. The request is 

for the following equipment: forty-eight 

(48) PATRIOT M903 Launch Stations; 

up to six hundred forty-four (644) 

PATRIOT Advanced Capability (PAC) 3 

Missile Segment Enhanced (MSE) 

missiles; forty-eight (48) Launcher 

Interface Network Kits (LINKs); twelve 

(12) Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense 

Sensors (LTAMDS); and twelve (12) 

Large Tactical Power Systems (LTPS) for 

the LTAMDS. Also included is 

communications equipment; tools and 

test equipment; support equipment; 

generators; spare parts; repair parts; 

Selective Availability Anti-spoofing 

Module (SAASM) Global Positioning 

System Precise Positioning Service 

receivers; modification kits; U.S. 

Government and contractor technical, 

engineering, and logistics support 

services for planning, execution, 

Systems Integration and Checkout 

(SICO), flight test activities, field office 

support, and training; and other related 

elements of logistics and program 

support. The total estimated program 

cost is $15 billion. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the United States 

(U.S.) by improving the security of a 

NATO Ally that is a force for political 

stability and economic progress in 

Europe. 

The proposed sale will improve 

Poland’s missile defense capability and 

contribute to Poland’s military goals of 

updating capability while further 

enhancing interoperability with the U.S. 

and other allies. Poland will have no 

difficulty absorbing this equipment into 

its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractors will be 

Raytheon Corporation, Andover, MA; 

Lockheed-Martin Missiles and Fire 

Control, Grand Prairie, TX; and another 

original equipment manufacturer to be 

selected to develop and produce 

generator sets for the LTPS. The 

purchaser has requested offsets. Any 

offset agreement will be defined in 

negotiations between the purchaser and 

the contractor(s). 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require approximately forty (40) 

U.S. Government and/or forty-five (45) 

contractor representatives to travel to 

Poland for an extended period for 

equipment de-processing/fielding, 

system checkout, training, and technical 

and logistics support. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of 

Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the 

Arms Export Control Act 

Annex 

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The PATRIOT Advanced Capability 

(PAC) 3 Missile Segment Enhanced 

(MSE) missile is a small, highly agile, 

kinetic kill interceptor for defense 

against tactical ballistic missiles, cruise 

missiles, and air-breathing threats. The 

MSE variant of the PAC–3 missile 

represents the next generation in hit-tokill interceptors and provides expanded 

battlespace against evolving threats. The 

PAC–3 MSE improves upon the original 

PAC–3 capability with a higher 

performance solid rocket motor, 

modified lethality enhancer, more 

responsive control surfaces, upgraded 

guidance software, and insensitive 

munitions improvements. 

2. M903 launcher stations are capable 

of launching the entire family of 

PATRIOT missiles. All new U.S. 

launchers are M903 configuration. 

3. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

4. If a technologically advanced 

adversary were to obtain knowledge of 

the specific hardware and software 

elements, the information could be used 

to develop countermeasures that might 

reduce weapon system effectiveness or 

be used in the development of a system 

with similar or advanced capabilities. 

5. A determination has been made 

that the Government of Poland can 

provide substantially the same degree of 

protection for the sensitive technology 

being released as the U.S. Government. 

This sale is necessary in furtherance of 

the U.S. foreign policy and national 

security objectives outlined in the 

Policy Justification. 

6. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Government of Poland.
