The US State Department has approved a possible US$3 billion foreign military sale of Integrated Battle Command System with Indirect Fire Protection Capability and related equipment to the government of Denmark.

The US Congress was notified of the possible foreign military sale by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) on 5 December 2025.

The possible sale includes 24 all-up round magazines, eight Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 launchers, two Sentinel A4 radars and Integrated Battle Command Systems (IBCS), two IBCS engagement operations centres, two IBCS integrated collaborative environments and six IBCS integrated fire control network relays.

 
 

Other items of the possible sale also includes reload vehicles, communications equipment, AN/PSN-13A defence advanced global positioning system receivers, AN/VRC-92F radio sets, RT-1523F receiver-transmitters, AN/TPX-61 interrogator set, AN/TPX-57A(V)1 identification friend or foe devices, KG-250X inline network encryptors, KIV-77 encryptors, tools and test equipment, systems integration and checkout.

“This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a NATO ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe,” according to a statement from the US DSCA.

“The proposed sale will improve Denmark’s capability to meet current and future threats and enhance its interoperability with US and other allied forces.

“It will also enhance Denmark’s medium and long-range ground-based air defence capability. Denmark will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment and services into its armed forces.

“The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. There will be no adverse impact on US defence readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

“Implementation of this proposed sale will require nine to 14 US government and 12 to 17 contractor representatives to travel to Denmark for up to seven years for equipment fielding, system checkout, training and technical and logistics support.”

The principal contractors are expected to be RTX Corporation, Lockheed Martin, Leidos and Northrop Grumman.
