The State Department approved a possible $200 million Foreign Military Sales (FMS) request to Poland for Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles Extended Range (JASSM-ER) and related support, equipment, and training.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) notified Congress of the potential sale on Nov. 28.
The sale would include 70 AGM-158B Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles Extended Range (JASSM-ER), two AGM-158B Flight Test Vehicles, two AGM-158B Mass Simulant Vehicles, one AGM-158B Flight Test Vehicle – Captive Carry, three AGM-158B Separation Test Vehicles, two AGM-158B Weapon System Simulators, and an F-16 operational flight plan upgrade for the Polish F- 16C/D.
Other equipment covered by the FMS includes JASSM-ER integration, missile containers, spare and repair parts, support and test equipment, 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 primary contractor is Lockheed Martin [LMT].
Poland will use the JASSM-ER equipment as a deterrent to regional threats and strengthen its homeland defense.
“These weapon and capabilities upgrades will allow Poland to strengthen its air-to-ground strike capabilities and increase its contribution to future NATO operations,” DSCA said in a statement.
