Poland’s state-run defense group PGZ has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Javelin Joint Venture (JJV), a partnership between Lockheed Martin and RTX, formerly known as Raytheon Technologies, to jointly produce Javelin anti-tank weapons.
“Together with PGZ, we are exploring a number of opportunities to leverage the resident skills and expertise of Polish industry for Javelin co-production,” Andy Amaro, the president of the JJV and RTX’s Javelin program director, was quoted in a statement.
The deal was inked on the second day of this year’s MSPO defense industry show, SIA reports with reference to foreign media.
The event runs Sept. 5-8 in Kielce.
PGZ said in a statement that the team-up with U.S. industry players will allow the partners “to evaluate the possibility to set up a final assembly plant and produce components in Poland.”
JJV representatives have also submitted an offer to the Polish group to have parts of Javelin weapons produced at PGZ’s subsidiary Mesko, according to the statement.
Poland’s and Ukraine’s militaries also both use the Javelin, a weapon celebrated on social media for its effectiveness against Russian armor.
