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

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)
