The United States won twice in Poland - once with the patriot system for air defense and second with the long-range rockets - the HIMARS, which also included Israeli companies that lost to the Americans.
In the context of air defense, the Americans (as expected) won the Patriot after the dispute between the two countries over the transfer of the IBCS technology ended, a long process in which the Poles examined an Israeli, European and American system. Poland will become the sixth European country to hold the Patriot and the 14th largest country in the world.
According to the agreement between the United States and Poland (PDF), by the end of 2017, the US will send Poland a signed document of intent. The deal will be divided into two parts. The first part of the deal, which will be financed with aid money or aid money prices (ie, a system price like the US government), will include the purchase of four new PAC3 launch units, which will be delivered by 2022 with operational readiness in 2023.
The second part of the deal, including a combination SkyCeptor interceptor (magic wand) batteries existing in Poland subject to technical adjustment. This will be completed by the end of 2018. The deal will include the transfer of technical know-how about the radar and the SkyCeptor interceptor to Poland.
In the context of the rockets, Poland wanted to acquire knowledge for the development of systems with a range of 300 kilometers, and among the competitors was a partnership between IMI and IAI's LINUX system, which would include, inter alia, the aerial missile of the Air Force. Lockheed Martin's HIMARS.
