It reached <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/03\/28\/poland-officially-signs-deal-to-buy-patriot-from-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">an agreement with the U.S. in 2018 to buy RTX-made Patriot systems <\/a>bolstered by an advanced battle command system that the U.S. Army was still developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poland\u2019s first order, which includes two Patriot Configuration-3+ batteries, came with a $4.75 billion price tag. As part of the deal, Northrop Grumman delivered two firing batteries of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/01\/13\/us-armys-future-battle-command-system-is-cleared-for-production\/\" target=\"_blank\">Integrated Battle Command System<\/a>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2023\/03\/30\/northrop-primes-the-pump-for-polands-battle-command-system\/\" target=\"_blank\">was delivered to Poland earlier this year and will be operational by the end of the summer.<\/a> Poland will be the first country to operationalize IBCS, ahead of the U.S. Army, which funded and oversaw the development of the Northrop-made system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IBCS is not included in this latest potential deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The possible sale marks the entrance of the second phase of Poland\u2019s pursuit to establish a robust midrange air defense capability under its Wisla program. Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak announced in May 2022 that his country would launch that second phase of the program, which would cover the acquisition of three divisions \u2014 or six batteries of the Patriot system to include the U.S. Army\u2019s LTAMDS, which is still in the prototyping phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/05\/02\/us-army-scrambles-to-keep-its-new-air-defense-radar-on-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\"> struggled with the LTAMDS prototype delivery schedule<\/a>. RTX ran into problems building the first radars during the pandemic, but the service still aims to deliver at least four of them by the end of 2023. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/training-sim\/2023\/03\/28\/us-army-plans-test-for-combining-new-air-defense-capabilities\/\" target=\"_blank\">operational assessment of the sensor<\/a> is
