POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Saudi Arabia—Cooperative Logistics 

Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA) 

Program, Foreign Military Sales Order 

(FMSO) II 

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has 

requested to buy a Foreign Military 

Sales Order (FMSO) II to provide funds 

for blanket order requisitions under a 

Cooperative Logistics Supply Support 

Agreement (CLSSA) for common spares/ 

repair parts to support the Royal Saudi 

Land Force’s (RSLF) fleet of Abrams 

tanks, M–60 tanks, Bradley Fighting 

Vehicles, mortar carriers, Combat 

Engineer Vehicles, High Mobility 

Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles 

(HMMWVs), Mine Resistance Ambush 

Protected (MRAP) vehicles, Light 

Armored Vehicles (LAVs), howitzers, 

additional support vehicles, 

components & accessories, pistols, 

rifles, crew-served weapons, recoilless 

rifles, mortars, vehicle periscopes, night 

vision devices, TOW launchers and 

missile parts, computer units, radar sets, 

generators, testing/calibration 

equipment, communication equipment 

and other related elements of logistics 

and program support. The total 

estimated program cost is $500 million. 

This proposed sale will support U.S. 

foreign policy and national security 

objectives by supporting a strategic 

partner’s self-defense and promoting 

stability in the Middle East. 

The proposed sale will maintain 

Saudi Arabia’s capability to meet 

current and future threats by allowing 

the RSLF to continue to purchase 

needed spare/repair parts, through their 

current CLSSA program, to replenish incountry stocks required for general 

maintenance and sustain the operability 

of RSLF equipment. The RSLF has 

participated in the CLSSA program 

since 1965 and will have no difficulty 

absorbing these items into its armed 

forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

There are no principal contractors 

involved with this potential sale. There 

are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the permanent 

assignment of any U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Saudi 

Arabia. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

System (IBCS) 

The Government of Poland has 

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

Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle 

Command System (IBCS) enabled 

PATRIOT Configuration-3+ with 

modernized sensors and components; 

the sale includes ninety-three (93) 

Integrated Air and Missile Defense 

(IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS)

and one hundred seventy-five (175) 

IBCS Integrated Fire Control Network

Government and Original Equipment 

Manufacturer (OEM) flight test services 

and support; and other related elements 

of logistics and program support. The 

total estimated program cost is $4.0 

billion. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the United States 

by improving the security of a North 

Atlantic Treaty Organization 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 goal of updating 

its military capability while further 

enhancing interoperability with the 

United States 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 contractor will be 

Northrup Grumman, Huntsville, AL. 

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 deprocessing and 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. 

Transmittal No. 23–64 

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 Integrated Air and Missile 

Defense (IAMD) Battle Command 

System (IBCS) is the centerpiece of the 

U.S. Army’s modernization strategy for 

air and missile defense capability. The 

system’s resilient, open, modular, 

scalable architecture is foundational to 

deploying a truly integrated network of 

all available assets in the battlespace, 

regardless of source, service, or domain. 

IBCS enables the efficient and affordable 

integration of current and future 

systems, including assets deployed over 

IP-enabled networks, counterunmanned aerial systems (UAS), 4th 

and 5th-generation aircraft, space-based 

sensors, and more. It senses, identifies, 

tracks, and defeats evolving air and 

missile threats, enabling revolutionary 

‘‘multi-domain, any sensor, best 

effector’’ operations. 

2. The highest level of classification of 

defense articles, components, and 

services included in this potential sale 

is SECRET. 

3. 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. 

4. 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. 

5. All defense articles and services 

listed in this transmittal have been 

authorized for release and export to the 

Government of Poland.
