POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Poland—F–16 Sustainment 

The Government of Poland has 

requested to buy additional non-MDE 

articles and services, as indicated 

below, that will be added to a 

previously implemented case whose 

value was under the congressional 

notification threshold. The original FMS 

case, valued at $82 million, included 

articles and services in support of F–16 

aircraft sustainment. This notification is 

for the combined non-MDE F–16 

sustainment articles and services, which 

includes Electronic Warfare database 

reprogramming support; classified and 

unclassified software delivery and 

support; classified and unclassified 

publications and technical 

documentation; spare parts, 

consumables, accessories, and repair 

and return support; computer program 

identification numbers; engine 

Component Improvement Program 

support; minor modifications; 

maintenance and maintenance support; 

studies and surveys; 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 $389 million. 

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 capability to meet current and 

future threats by increasing the 

reliability of their F–16 fleet. Poland has 

purchased sustainment support for the 

F–16s in its inventory for many years 

and 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, Fort Worth, TX. 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.

Item No. vii 

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 

1. The Electronic Warfare Integrated 

Reprogramming Database (EWIRDB) is 

used by U.S. Government engineers in 

the reprogramming and creation of 

shareable Mission Data Files for the 

exported EW systems.

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 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.

has been identified as Major Defense 

Equipment (MDE). The LWCLU 

incorporates an integrated day-night 

sight that provides a target engagement 

capability in adverse weather and 

countermeasure environments. The 

LWCLU may also be used in a standalone mode for battlefield surveillance 

and target detection. The LWCLU’s 

thermal sight is a 3rd generation 

Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) sensor. 

To facilitate initial loading and 

subsequent updating of software, all onboard missile software is uploaded via 

the LWCLU after mating and prior to 

launch.
