Also included with this request was communications equipment, tools and test equipment, range and test programs, support equipment, prime movers, generators, publications and technical documentation, training equipment, spare and repair parts, personnel training, Technical Assistance Field Team (TAFT), United States (U.S.) Government and contractor technical, engineering, and logistics support services, Systems Integration and Checkout (SICO), field office support, and other related elements of logistics and program support. The total estimated program cost was $10.5 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $6.8 billion of that total.
This transmittal notifies inclusion of the following additional MDE items: seven hundred eighty-eight (788) PATRIOT Guidance Enhanced Missile-Tactical (GEM-T) missiles. There are no additional non-MDE items being reported with this notification. The estimated total value of the new items is $5.8 billion. The estimated total MDE value will increase by $5.8 billion. The non-MDE value will remain at $3.7 billion. The total case value will increase by $5.8 billion, resulting in a revised estimated total case value of $16.3 billion. MDE will constitute $12.6 billion of this total.
(iv) *Significance:* The proposed sale will improve Poland's capability to meet current and future threats by enabling it to field a credible force that can deter adversaries and participate in NATO operations.
(v) *Justification:* This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.
(vi) *Sensitivity of Technology:*
The PATRIOT Guidance Enhanced Missile-Tactical (GEM-T) missile is one of the variants available to both U.S. forces and international customers. The GEM-T missile provides improved ability to defeat tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, or enemy aircraft in complement to the PAC-3 missile. A modernized, digital fuze eliminates obsolescence and introduces significant performance improvements against tactical ballistic missile targets. This design increases sensitivity for improved performance against high-speed tactical ballistic missile targets.
The highest level of classification of defense articles, components, and services included in this potential sale is CONFIDENTIAL.
