Lockheed Martin to Build Dedicated PAC-3 Missile Maintenance Facility in Poland for NATO Allies

Lockheed Martin announced plans on October 27, 2026, to establish a dedicated PAC-3 Missile Maintenance Facility in Poland, coordinated with the U.S. government. The facility will perform onsite repair, refurbishment, lifecycle support and re-certification for NATO allies operating PAC-3 interceptors. PR Newswire published the announcement.

Lockheed Martin's Poland Facility and NATO Supply Chain

Lockheed Martin is a publicly traded U.S. aerospace and defense prime contractor that designs, manufactures, and sustains military systems for the U.S. Department of Defense and allied customers in more than 50 countries. The PAC-3 MMF in Poland will support the growing community of NATO Allies operating PAC-3 interceptors, enabling rapid turnaround for resupply and integrated testing. Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden, original signatories to the agreement alongside the U.S. and Poland, will play important roles in the supply chain.

"For more than 75 years, Lockheed Martin has been a trusted partner to Europe— strengthening regional sustainment, expanding production capacity and accelerating the delivery of critical missile defense capabilities," said Tim Cahill, president of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. "The PAC-3 MMF represents the next evolution of that partnership, bringing essential sustainment support to our European allies and ensuring these advanced defense systems remain available when and where they are needed most."

Jay Pitman, president of Lockheed Martin International, said the announcement "establishes deeper industrial partnerships in Poland, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden." Mirage News reported that the U.S. and allies selected Poland to host the European PAC-3 Missile Maintenance Facility, with supply chain integration led by Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The facility will shorten turnaround times and enhance operational readiness across Allied air and missile defense forces.

Lockheed Martin's Manufacturing and Contract Records

According to akta.pro company records, Lockheed Martin announced in June 2026 a multi-billion-dollar U.S. manufacturing footprint expansion covering more than 20 new or modernized facilities, including a new 225,000 sq ft Trident II D5 facility in Titusville, Florida, with up to 300 jobs by 2027, under a broader $9 billion investment program through 2030. The same records show a June 2026 regulatory action in which the company won a $35.35 billion seven-year undefinitized contract from the U.S. Missile Defense Agency to quadruple THAAD interceptor production from 96 to 400 per year.

What Comes Next for the PAC-3 Facility

Lockheed Martin said the new facility will be fully integrated with Poland's existing defense industrial ecosystem, creating high-skill jobs and expanding opportunities for local suppliers. The company did not state a construction timeline or opening date for the facility.
