Explosive Obstacle Reduction-Tracer (HE-OR-T) cartridges; and seventy 
thousand (70,000) 120mm M1147 High Explosive Advanced Multipurpose 
Round cartridges. Also included were Forward Repair Systems; Next 
Generation (NG) Shop Equipment Maintenance Contact (SECM) shelters; 
communications equipment; GPS receivers; ammunition; Spare and Repair 
Parts; Special Tools and Test Equipment (STTE); technical manuals and 
publications; new equipment training; U.S. Government and contractor 
technical engineering, logistics, and personnel services; and other 
related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total 
cost was $3.75 billion. Major Defense Equipment (MDE) constituted $3.25 
billion of this total.
    This transmittal notifies inclusion of the following MDE items: 
twenty-five (25) M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicles (ABVs); thirty-seven 
(37) M2 .50 caliber machine guns; sixty thousand (60,000) 120 mm M908 
High Explosive Obstacle Reduction--Tracer (HE-OR-T) cartridges; thirty

charge demolition, high explosive Mine Clearing Line Charges (MICLICs); 
and twenty-five (25) M68A2 Charge, Demolition, Inert, Flexible Linear. 
The following non-MDE items will also be included: MK22 MOD 4 5-inch 
rocket motors; AN/PRC-158 radios; communications equipment; Global 
Positioning System (GPS) receivers and precise positioning provided by 
Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module or M-Code; forward repair 
systems; spare and repair parts; Special Tools and Test Equipment 
(STTE); technical manuals and publications; New Equipment Training 
(NET); site surveys; transportation; U.S. Government and contractor 
technical, engineering, logistics, and personnel services; and other 
related elements of logistics and program support. The total value of 
the new items is $850 million. The value of the new MDE items accounts 
for $450 million of this total, while the value of the new non-MDE 
items accounts for the remaining $400 million. These values will not 
require an increase to the previously notified MDE and non-MDE values 
of $3.25 billion and $0.50 billion, respectively. The estimated total 
cost will remain $3.75 billion.
    (iv) Significance: This notification is being provided as the 
additional MDE and non-MDE items were not enumerated in the original 
notification. The inclusion of these items represents an increase in 
capability over what was previously notified. The proposed sale will 
support Poland's ability to meet current and future threats by 
providing a credible force that is capable of deterring adversaries and 
participating in NATO operations.
    (v) Justification: This 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 an important force for 
political stability and economic progress in Europe.
    (vi) Sensitivity of Technology: The M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle 
(ABV) is a tracked, combat engineer system designed to breach mine 
fields and complex obstacles. It provides crew protection and vehicle 
survivability while having the speed and mobility to keep pace with the 
maneuver force. It can be equipped with either a Full Width Mine Plow 
(FWMP) or the Combat Dozer Blade (CDB). The following sub-systems are 
included in the ABV:
    Armor: Major components of the armor are fabricated and assembled 
into serialized removable subassemblies and installed in sealed 
modules. The ABV chassis armor is the same armor that has been exported 
in all FMS Abrams tanks. The turret armor is a tailored armor unique to 
the ABV turret.
    Integrated Vision System (IVS) for day/night operations: IVS has a 
two-axis stabilized gimbal in addition to an Enhanced Situation 
Awareness camera system. The IVS allows operators to remain under armor 
while conducting their mission with maximum visual awareness around the 
vehicle.
    Commander's Weapon Station (CWS): Provides .50 caliber capability 
that can be fired when the commander's hatch is in opened or closed 
position.
    Magnetic Signature Duplicator (MSD): The Magnetic Signature 
Duplicator (MSD) provides a magnetic signature sufficiently in advance 
of a vehicle to negate the effectiveness of magnetic influence mines. 
The MSD increases the effectiveness and survivability of countermine 
equipment by causing the stand-off detonation of magnetic influence 
mines at a safe distance ahead of the host vehicle. The MSD can be 
installed on various types of front-end equipment, including the FWMP.
    The highest level of classification of defense articles, 
components, and services included in this potential sale is SECRET.
    (vii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: September 25, 2024
