Thanks for your link! The text seems to indicate the equipment is Qatar-owned: “The foreign military sale agreement, signed Dec. 7, 2016, requested AFLCMC provide the radar itself and associated mission support facilities at a remote location in Qatar.”

For context, in the case of foreign military sales, the US government usually buys the equipment from its suppliers, then resells it to the foreign government.
