Polish Armaments Group at the 23rd International Maritime and Military Exhibition BALTEXPO

Companies of the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) will take part in the 23rd International Maritime and Military Exhibition BALTEXPO, which will be held from October 7th to 9th, 2025, at the AMBEREXPO Exhibition and Convention Center in Gdańsk.

The PGZ Capital Group will be represented at Hall C, Booth C.42 by the following companies: Ośrodek Badawczo-Rozwojowy Centrum Techniki Morskiej (OBR CTM), PGZ Stocznia Wojenna, Nauta Shiprepair Yard, Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów, Maskpol Protective Equipment Company (PSO Maskpol), Mesko, PCO, and PIT-Radwar. During the scheduled expert panels, presidents and directors of the Polish Armaments Group Capital Group responsible for key projects, particularly in the maritime domain, will take part in discussions.

At the joint PGZ Group exhibition, PSO Maskpol will showcase its range of ROCK-series ballistic vests, the KKZ-01 and TMP-02 vests, MP-6 and MP-5 gas masks, HP-05, HP-04, and LHO-01 ballistic helmets, as well as combat uniforms manufactured by the company.

Mesko will present small- and medium-caliber ammunition, along with its export best-seller, the Piorun man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS), designed to counter helicopters, aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise missiles. The Piorun has proven its combat effectiveness in the hands of Ukrainian soldiers fighting against the Russian invasion.

PCO will display, among other systems, MU-3ADM night-vision goggles, PNL-2ADM and PNL-3X lightweight night-vision goggles, the MT-1 thermal monocular, NPL-1T Agat and NPL-1M thermal binoculars, the Wolt-1 multifunctional thermal observation binoculars, and the PCS-20MD weapon-mounted night-vision sight.

PGZ Stocznia Wojenna will exhibit 1:100 scale models of the Project 106 frigate being built under the Miecznik program, the Project 207 minesweeper, and the ORP Ślązak patrol corvette. Visitors to BALTEXPO will also be able to view a scale model of the shipyard’s facilities, which have undergone a remarkable transformation thanks to recent infrastructure investments. A 3D multimedia presentation of the Miecznik frigate will also be available.

Warsaw-based PIT-Radwar will present the Tuga radar station and the OSU-35K Naval Weapon System. The Tuga is a 4D radar with an AESA antenna, utilizing FMCW technology, designed to detect and track aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs. It determines target position by measuring three spatial coordinates and radial velocity. The radar’s operating modes and parameters are software-defined, allowing its capabilities to be tailored to specific applications. Its compact antenna design allows for portable use or integration with mobile or stationary platforms.

The OSU-35K Naval Weapon System is a modern, remotely controlled, multi-role close-in air-defense artillery system equipped with an automatic 35 mm cannon and its own electro-optical fire-control system. It can engage various types of threats with high precision, operating day and night in all weather conditions. It is designed for integration with a ship’s Combat Management System (CMS) or for independent operation.

The Gdynia-based Ośrodek Badawczo-Rozwojowy Centrum Techniki Morskiej (OBR CTM) will feature, among other systems, a model of Digital Baltic – a software platform for geographic data management that integrates multiple public (e.g., AIS) and private (satellite imagery, user reports) data sources. The platform uses AI- and ML-based detection algorithms, allowing users to make faster, better-informed decisions. AI/ML-generated data are clearly distinguished from raw input data.

Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów will exhibit the RGP-40 revolver grenade launcher, the WKM-B heavy machine gun, the UKM-2020S 7.62 mm universal machine gun, and the UKM-2000C 7.62 mm (modified). A highlight of the booth will be the Typhoon Naval Launcher for MANPADS and the anti-UAV system, designed to counter aerial drones. Its remotely operated turret integrates an electro-optical head and a 12.7 mm WLKM multi-barrel machine gun into a stabilized fire-support platform. The system enables rapid detection, tracking, and engagement of UAVs — from nano-drones detected up to 3.5 km away by radar, to larger airborne targets such as aircraft and helicopters.

BALTEXPO is the leading maritime and naval defense industry event in Central and Eastern Europe. Alongside its exhibition space, it serves as an international platform for knowledge exchange, technology presentation, and strategic business networking. The event attracts representatives of the shipbuilding, port, defense, innovation, and startup sectors. Numerous debates, expert panels, and project presentations are planned, during which specialists will discuss the challenges facing the maritime economy and the security of the Baltic region.
