The PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE), fielded in 2015, represents the next-generation PAC-3 missile and provides expanded battlespace performance against evolving threats. The PAC-3 MSE improves upon the original PAC-3 capability with a higher-performance solid rocket motor, modified lethality enhancer, more responsive control surfaces, upgraded guidance software, and insensitive munitions improvements.

In March 2018, Poland signed a contract of $4.75 billion to purchase two batteries of American Patriot PAC-3 air defense missile systems. The first units of this contract are to be delivered to the Polish armed forces this year. On May 25, 2022, Poland announced the purchase of six more American Patriot air defense missile systems. It was the second phase of the Polish army’s WISLA air defense modernization program.

Citing information from the Polish Minister of Defense, the first Patriot missile launchers, radars, and the entire system was handed over to the Polish armed forces. The sky of Poland is now ready to be protected with the Patriot, the NAREW which is the British CAMM air defense system, the PIORUN MANPADS, and the PSR-A Pilica, a Polish-made Very Short Range Air Defense (VSHORAD) anti-aircraft missile and artillery system.
