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 cost is
$500 million.
The proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and the national
security objectives of the United States
by helping to improve the security of a
NATO ally. Poland continues to be an
important force for political stability
and economic progress in Central
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
enhanced capability as a deterrent to
regional threats and to strengthen its
homeland defense. These weapon and
capability upgrades will allow Poland to
strengthen its air-to-ground strike
capabilities and increase its
contribution to future NATO operations.
The proposed sale of the weapons,
equipment, and support will not alter
the basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be
Lockheed Martin in Ft. Worth, Texas.
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.

1. The AGM–158 is a 200+ nautical
mile range low-observable, highly
survivable subsonic cruise missile
designed to penetrate next generation
air defense systems en route to target. It
is designed to kill hard, mediumhardened, soft and area type targets. It
uses a Selective Availability AntiSpoofing Module based Global
Positioning System (GPS) receiver and a
scene matching infrared seeker that uses
a wire-frame Terminal Area Model
(TAM) of the target area to hit fixed and
relocatable targets with greater accuracy

than GPS alone. Classification of the
technical data and information on the
AGM–158’s performance, capabilities,
systems, sub-systems, operations, and
maintenance will range from
Unclassified to Secret. The highest level
of classified information required for
training, operation and maintenance is
Secret.
2. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware and software
elements, the information could be used
