Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace ('KONGSBERG') and consortium partner Polska Grupa
Zbrojeniowa (PGZ) have signed a contract with the Polish Armaments Agency for
the delivery of Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS) to protect the country
against the evolving threats from unmanned aerial platforms.
The contract is worth about NOK 16 billion to KONGSBERG. The programme, called
SAN CUAS, entails the delivery of 18 CUAS batteries.
KONGSBERG and PGZ bring significant experience and complementary capabilities to
SAN CUAS. The batteries will include a wide variety of effectors, including 35
mm, 30 mm, 12.7 mm guns, as well as missiles and interceptor drones and other
means to counter aerial threats.
"This programme confirms Poland's position as a regional hub for counter-drone
innovation and strengthens KONGSBERGs' positions as one of Europe's leading
providers of anti-drone solutions," said Eirik Lie, President of Kongsberg
Defence & Aerospace. "The collaboration between KONGSBERG and PGZ demonstrates
the companies' commitment and support to NATO-aligned industrial cooperation to
strengthen the European security landscape and anti-drone shield."
PGZ subcontractor Advanced Protection Systems' (APS) tailored command and
control architecture will tie these sensors and effectors together and make SAN
CUAS a highly capable system that is fully integrated with Polish national air
defense capabilities.
As part of the deliveries, KONGSBERG is preparing to invest in increasing its
manufacturing capacity and capabilities in Poland, strengthening the company's
ability to deliver higher volumes of defence systems and technologies.
PROTECTOR
The system is based on KONGSBERG's PROTECTOR family of weapon systems: the
Medium Caliber Turret (MCT30) and Remote Weapon Station. The MCT30 is in
full-rate production and the turret design characteristics: unmanned, light
weight and fully digitalized, makes it well suited in a CUAS role.
The flexibility of KONGSBERG's remote weapon stations enables the integration of
various CUAS effectors. For the SAN program the RWS primary weapon will be the
70mm guided missiles. In addition, KONGSBERG will work closely with APS and PGZ
to field flexible sensor and effector integration platforms for sub-system and
vehicle integrations enabling distributed sensor and effector operations.
All PROTECTOR remote weapon systems are CUAS capable. KONGSBERG has to date
delivered more than 20,000 PROTECTOR systems to more than 30 countries.
