oland has received U.S. government approval to purchase elements of a new airborne early warning system based on an aerostat — a type of uncrewed tethered airship. While many details about the system are still to come, Poland’s interest in such a capability is notable in itself, coming after the 2016 cancellation of a similar project — known as JLENS — that would have served the U.S. military.
The U.S. military's Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced the approval of the proposed sale of the aerostat-based Airspace and Surface Radar Reconnaissance systems yesterday. The package includes other related equipment, logistics, and support and is valued at around $1.2 billion. This represents another significant defense investment from the eastern European country and NATO member, which is going to considerable efforts to boost its armed forces as a counter to potential Russian aggression in the region.

Probably a good early warning system and cheaper than AWACS.
