POLICY JUSTIFICATION

Poland--Ground Controller Approach Radar Systems

    The Government of Poland has requested a possible sale of 9 Ground 
Controlled Approach Systems, ICAO Category II, with PSR, PAR, SSR, Very 
High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency radio equipment, site surveys, 
systems installation and testing, spare and repair parts, tools and 
test equipment, personnel training and training equipment, technical 
data and publications, warranties, U.S. Government and contractor 
engineering, technical, and logistics support services, and other 
related elements of logistics support. The estimated cost is $200 
million.
    This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and 
national security of the United States by helping to improve the 
security and capability of a staunch NATO ally. Poland continues to be 
an important force for political stability and economic progress in 
Central Europe.
    The proposed sale will further standardize the air navigation and 
approach radar capabilities of Poland, increasing aviation safety 
across the country and region. This is a continuation of a 
modernization program started several years ago. Delivery of this 
system will support Poland's F-16 and C-130 programs and the USAF 
Aviation Detachment.
    The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the 
basic military balance in the region.
    The prime contractor will be ITT Exelis Inc. in Van Nuys, 
California. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection 
with this potential sale at this time.
    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.
