On May 5, 2025, the U.S. State Department approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of the Czech Republic for communications equipment and related elements of logistics and program support, with an estimated cost of $181 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this potential sale on the same day.
The Czech Republic has requested to purchase AN/PYQ-10A(C) simple key loaders; AN/PRC-160, AN/PRC-163, and AN/PRC-167 radios; RF-300M-DL(C) small secure data links and support equipment; spare parts; U.S. Government and contractor technical engineering, logistics, and personnel services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.
The proposed sale aims to support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by enhancing the security of a NATO Ally. It is intended to assist the Czech Armed Forces in transforming into a modern military that is properly trained, well equipped, and interoperable with U.S. and other NATO forces. The procurement would facilitate U.S. security goals by improving the Czech Republic’s ability to contribute to NATO efforts to secure the eastern flank of the Alliance and deter aggression in the region. It would also enhance the capabilities the Czech Republic could provide to NATO and coalition expeditionary operations.
The principal contractor for this potential sale will be L3Harris Global Communications, Inc., located in Rochester, NY. Currently, there are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this sale. Implementation of the proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to the Czech Republic.
