Transmittal No. 25-62

WASHINGTON, September 18, 2025 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Poland of Javelin Missile Systems and related elements of logistics and program support for an estimated cost of $780 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

The Government of Poland has requested to buy two thousand five hundred six (2,506) FGM-148F Javelin missiles and two hundred fifty-three (253) Javelin Lightweight Command Launch Units. The following non-MDE items will be included: missile simulation rounds; battery coolant units; tool kits; spares support; training; U.S. Government and contractor technical assistance; transportation; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $780 million.

This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is a force for political and economic stability in Europe.

The proposed sale will improve Poland’s capability to meet current and future threats by upgrading its existing legacy Command Launch Units and increasing its defense inventory, thereby reinforcing its capability to protect Polish sovereign territory and improving its ability to meet NATO requirements. Poland will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services 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 RTX Corporation, located in Arlington, VA; and Lockheed Martin, located in Tucson, AZ. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.

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.

The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.

All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, Political-Military Affairs Outreach, at T_Outreach_PM@state.gov.
