Typically, American-made weapon systems are fielded to U.S. forces before they\u2019re sold internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The country\u2019s first order, which included two Patriot Configuration 3+ batteries, came with a $4.75 billion price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the deal, Northrop delivered two firing batteries of IBCS, which consists of six engagement operations centers, six integrated collaborative environment tents and associated equipment, and 12 integrated fire control network relays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poland will also be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2023\/09\/05\/poland-is-first-foreigner-to-buy-us-armys-new-missile-defense-radar\/\" target=\"_blank\">first international customer for the U.S. Army\u2019s new air and missile defense radar <\/a>still in development.
