The US War Department, in coordination with Lockheed Martin and European allies, has selected Poland as the location for a European service center for the PAC-Kantim conference on NATO's Pentag 3 national missiles. According to the statement, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden will lead the integration of supply chains. The PAC-3 is a surface-to-air guided missile used in Patriot air defense systems. The facility will maintain, repair and modernize the missiles in Europe. It is not intended for the production of new missiles. The US Department of War states that carrying out this work in the area will "significantly reduce downtime" and provide allies with additional capabilities in crisis situations, but does not provide specific data. Deputy Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, Michael Duffy, said the Allies are investing national resources "to create this important defense system on NATO's eastern flank." This decision follows an agreement signed on July 7 at the NATO summit in Ankara by representatives of the US, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden on the possibility of creating such a facility. Lockheed Martin has previously stated that it will support allies with PAC-3 MSE and PAC-3 Cost Reduction Initiative missiles.
