Columbia, Md. – September 07, 2026 -- TCOM has secured a Foreign Military Sales contract valued at more than $600 million to supply Airspace and Surface Radar Reconnaissance (ASRR) Aerostat Systems to the Polish Armed Forces, marking one of the largest awards in the company's history.
Poland Gains Persistent Radar Coverage Against Air, Sea and Ground Threats
The program was awarded through the U.S. Army's PAE C2/CC2 Office and equips Poland with elevated surveillance systems designed to detect, track and respond to airborne, maritime and ground threats. The systems pair TCOM's aerostat platform with open-architecture Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar and electronic warfare capabilities, delivering continuous early warning and long-range tracking that integrates into existing command-and-control networks.
CEO Cites Confidence in Combat-Proven Technology
Ron Bendlin, President and CEO of TCOM, said the award reflects customer confidence in the company's technology and workforce, framing persistent surveillance as a critical capability for modern defense and a reinforcement of the U.S.-Poland defense partnership.
Contract Triggers Hiring Push Across Engineering and Manufacturing
To execute the program and support broader company growth, TCOM plans to add staff across engineering, manufacturing, software development, systems integration, logistics and program management. Bendlin described the award as opening a new chapter for TCOM amid accelerating global demand for persistent surveillance from the surface to the stratosphere.
Export Controls Frame Program Execution
The program will be carried out in compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), with all systems, software and services subject to U.S. export control requirements.
