“Conducting Production Line Validations is a huge step made by WZE on the path to join Global PAC-3 MSE Supply Chain and an important milestone in WISLA Program’s E4a Offset Commitment. After five years of execution of the Offset Agreement, it is clear that this is a fruitful and mutually beneficial way of cooperation, as it opens both U.S. and Polish participants to new opportunities,” said Damian Gorzelany, Chief Executive Officer of Wojskowe Zakłady Elektroniczne S.A.
The Attitude Control Section and its motors are critical for the missile’s trajectory and Hit-to-Kill accuracy, with the motors firing explosively to adjust course for body-to-body impact. “Partnering with Polish industry is a win for the U.S., Poland and our worldwide PAC-3 users,” said Robert Orzylowski, director of Poland and Central and Eastern Europe for Lockheed Martin. “The new ACS and ACM production lines will allow WZE SA to join the global PAC-3 MSE supply chain and further cement our partnerships with the Polish defense industry for the long-term.”
The PAC-3 MSE forms a cornerstone of Poland’s air and missile defence, using Hit-to-Kill technology to detect, track and intercept threats including tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, advanced threats and aircraft.
