Day Three Highlights for the Polish Armaments Group at MSPO 2025

The third day of the 33rd International Defence Industry Exhibition was rich in further events of importance for the Polish Armaments Group. Agreements and letters of intent were concluded to enhance the potential of the Polish defense industry, and PGZ representatives took part in numerous debates and industry events.

The most important agreement signed today was the contract between PIT-Radwar and the Polish Armament Agency. It covers the delivery of six sets of NUR-12ME radar stations, upgraded to the NUR-12MEP version, and optionally three sets of NUR-12M radar stations, upgraded to the NUR-12MP version.

The second agreement with the Armament Agency, was signed by Zakłady Chemiczne Nitro-Chem, and covers replenishing stockpiles of TNT charges and explosives used by engineering troops in their ongoing operations.

In addition, PGZ Group companies concluded, among others, an agreement with Airbus Helicopters defining joint activities within the combat helicopter pilot training program.

Cooperation was also established with the Maritime Advanced Research Centre (Centrum Techniki Okrętowej, CTO S.A.) in the field of industrial research, development, and implementation for the defense sector, as well as with Hertz Systems for the integration of the Hawk counter-drone system into the product portfolio offered by the PGZ Capital Group.

OBR CTM began cooperation with ICEYE on the integration of SAR satellite data with tools developed under the Digital Baltic project (MSPO 2025: ICEYE and OBR CTM Signed a Letter of Intent on Cooperation in the Digital Baltic Project).

Wojskowe Zakłady Lotnicze No. 2 (Military Aviation Works No. 2) signed a cooperation agreement with Northrop Grumman.

PIT-Radwar, in turn, signed two letters of intent dedicated to cooperation with Wojskowe Zakłady Elektroniczne and the Military University of Technology.

PCO, together with VIGO Photonics, will develop integrated photonic circuits for the infrared range, including systems intended for free-space optical communication.

The third day of the Kielce trade fair was also marked by numerous industry events. During the debate organized by the Polish Armaments Group and the Defense Portal, entitled The Role of the Domestic Defense Industry in the Development of the Polish Air Force, Vice President Piotr Zawieja spoke about the preparations of PGZ companies for the servicing and maintenance of modern weapon systems being introduced into the Armed Forces:

Our plants are acquiring new competencies. We are not waiting idly for the equipment to arrive. For example, in the case of AH-64E Apache attack helicopters, Military Aviation Works No. 1 in Łódź is already preparing for the transfer and absorption of technology. The WZL No. 1 branch in Dęblin will soon be servicing turbine engines for Abrams tanks,” said Piotr Zawieja, Vice President of the Management Board.

Meanwhile, during the debate Defence24: Technology Transfer as the Foundation of the Future of the Polish Defense Industry, Jan Grabowski, Vice President of the Management Board of the Polish Armaments Group, spoke about technology transfer to the Group’s companies, citing the Narew and Miecznik programs as examples. He also pointed out the need to structure agreements in such a way that they do not impose export restrictions in the long term:

The Rosomak is an excellent, proven vehicle, but the licensing agreement never gave us production sovereignty. The agreement for Narew allows us to export,” emphasized Vice President Grabowski.

A press briefing dedicated to naval projects was also held on the stage of the Polish Armaments Group, with the participation of Jan Grabowski, Vice President of PGZ; Marcin Ryngwelski, President of PGZ Naval Shipyard; Marcin Wiśniewski, President of OBR CTM; Grzegorz Sowa from the PGZ Development Department; and Piotr Jaszczura, Director of the Miecznik Program Office.
