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 (approx.5,9 bln PLN). 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 defence 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.
The total value of the contract within the SAN system is PLN 15 billion net for 18 air defense batteries and will be co-financed from SAFE funds. Polish companies, including PGZ and APS, will be key contractors, while Kongsberg will supply, among other things, Protector MCT30 turrets as well as missile and drone launchers.
