The agreement ensures the Polish defense industry will play a critical role in supporting the Polish military with their newly acquired equipment.
Under the terms of the arrangement, WZM will use BAE Systems’ intellectual property to perform maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations, ensuring that the Polish Land Forces’ M88s are fully operational and able to conduct battlefield recovery and repair activities.
“This relationship enables the timely sustainment of critical recovery vehicles, supporting the Polish government’s efforts to strengthen its defense industrial base and promote local economies,” said Dean Medland, vice president of Sustainment & International programs at BAE Systems. “We understand the importance of working together with local industry in allied nations. This is an exciting example of how we can create a more responsive regional support network in addition to the critical manufacturing base in the United States.”
