As WB Group reported on social media on Monday, January 5, 2026, the Comp@n-Z software-defined radio manufactured by Radmor, a company within the group, has been included in the NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue (NIAPC) as only the second Polish military product in history to achieve this.

The NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue is the official catalogue of information security (Information Assurance) products maintained by NATO. It is managed by the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) and contains a list of approved information security products (such as encryptors, firewalls, KVM devices, encryption devices, and key management systems) that meet NATO’s stringent requirements for the protection of classified information, for example NATO SECRET (equivalent to the Polish classification TAJNE) or COSMIC TOP SECRET (equivalent to ŚCIŚLE TAJNE). The catalogue serves NATO member states as well as civilian and military bodies of the Alliance as a source of information on suppliers and products available for procurement and use in NATO systems. Products are evaluated and approved in accordance with NATO directives (e.g., AC/322-D(2019)0041-REV1), often based on standards such as the Common Criteria.
The Comp@n-Z radio is listed in the NIAPC catalogue here: COMP@N-Z System.
It is worth noting that the first Polish product included in the NIAPC catalogue was the PEM-HEART software developed by Enigma Systemy Ochrony Informacji of Warsaw, which provides information security through encryption and digital signatures (the last update of the entry was on September 4, 2013).
Comp@n-Z
Comp@n-Z is the second military communications system in the history of Polish military radiocommunications to obtain a cryptographic protection certificate. Fully developed by WB Group, the radio is authorized for the protection of classified information at the Restricted level (Zastrzeżone). On June 30, 2025, the start of deliveries of the equipment to the Polish Armed Forces was announced.
In addition to advanced tactical communications capabilities, the Comp@n-Z software-defined radio underwent a comprehensive verification process covering not only the device itself, but also the software, the waveform (defining how information is processed, secured, and transmitted via the antenna), as well as the system for managing and generating cryptographic documentation.
No foreign supplier of equipment for the Polish Armed Forces can boast such a comprehensive confirmation of security and compliance with Polish requirements. This is evidence of the high level of competence of WB Group’s engineers and the result of a consistent, long-term effort to build the country’s technological independence.
The Comp@n-Z system includes the H09-Z/1 handheld radio using BMS IP and W2FH waveforms with increased resistance to interference. A key component of the device is the secure information transmission system, enabling the exchange of classified voice and data signals in accordance with the SCIP/STACiS (STANAG 5068) and NINE (STANAG 4787) standards.
In addition to the H-09-Z/1 software-defined (SDR) handheld radio, the Comp@n-Z system also includes the V09-Z/1 vehicle-mounted radio, a Radio Network Planning System, a Cryptographic Data Management and Generation System, and a wide range of accessories (chargers, power supplies, adapters, amplifiers, antennas, handsets, speakers, headsets, and control units).
The Comp@n-Z communications system enables the processing of classified information up to the level of Zastrzeżone / NATO & EU Restricted, as confirmed by a certificate issued by the Military Counterintelligence Service on June 12, 2025. The radio also supports both unclassified and classified voice communications, as well as classified data transmission.
The Radio Network Planning System allows for the planning and organization of communications in command and cooperation networks at the tactical level—from brigade level downward. The Cryptographic Data Management and Generation System is responsible for the initialization and personalization of radios, the generation and preparation of cryptographic data, and the management of the radios’ life cycle.
Radiostacja COMP@N-Z w NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue! W ciągu 27 lat Polski w Sojuszu Północnoatlantyckim to dopiero drugi system, który trafił do katalogu NIAPC – akceptowanych przez OTP rozwiązań zapewniających bezpieczeństwo informacji.https://t.co/rVQKQoIN6Y pic.twitter.com/8XLHyQMaz5
