requested to buy Airspace and Surface 

Radar Reconnaissance (ASRR) aerostat 

systems; Airborne Early Warning (AEW) 

Radars with Identification of Friend or 

Foe (IFF) capability; electronic 

intelligence (ELINT) sensors systems; 

mooring systems with powered tether 

with embedded fiber optics; Ground 

Control Systems (GCS); associated 

installation hardware; special tools and 

test equipment; Basic Issue Items (BII); 

program management support; 

verification testing; systems technical 

support; transportation; spare and repair 

parts; communications equipment;

personnel training and training 

equipment; tool and test equipment; 

repair and return; publications and 

technical documentation; Quality 

Assurance Team (QAT); U.S. 

Government and contractor engineering, 

technical, and logistics support services; 

in-country Field Service Representatives

logistics and program support. The 

estimated total program cost is $1.2 

billion. 

The proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy goals and national 

security objectives of the United States 

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 capability to meet current and 

future threats of enemy air and ground 

weapons systems. Poland will use the 

capability as an airborne early warning 

system to defend against incoming 

regional threats. This will also enable 

Poland to increase its contribution to 

future NATO operations. 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 Intelligence and Space, of El 

Segundo, CA; TCOM, L.P., of Columbia, 

MD; ELTA North America, of Annapolis 

Junction, MD; and Avantus Federal LLC 

(a wholly owned subsidiary of QinetiQ, 

Inc.), of McLean, VA. There are no 

known offset agreements proposed in 

connection with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require forty (40) aerostat contractor 

representatives to travel to Poland for 

eighty-four (84) months to conduct the 

Contractor Logistics Support, training, 

and component assembly support. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

ground control and maintenance 

shelters, electrical generators and power 

distribution panel, forklift and man lift, 

and supply of helium and spare parts. 

The program will also include system 

training, maintenance, and in-country 

support services. Each of the four (4) 

aerostats will carry a payload consisting 

of one (1) radar system and one (1) 

electronic surveillance electronic 

intelligence (ELINT) sensor system with 

integrated Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) 

capability. 

a. Radar System. The radar system 

will include one of the following: ETLA 

North America ELM–2083, Raytheon
