Rosomak and KIA sign agreement for Poland’s San counter-drone program

Rosomak, a company belonging to the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ), has signed an agreement with South Korea’s KIA Corporation for the supply of vehicle platforms for the San counter-drone system.

On Wednesday, March 11, 2026, Rosomak, a company based in Siemianowice Śląskie and part of the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ), announced on social media that it had signed an agreement with South Korea’s KIA Corporation for the supply of vehicle platforms for the San counter-drone system for the Polish Armed Forces.

The agreement covers the delivery of 375 KIA KLTV Cab Chassis Truck 4P vehicles. The supplied vehicle platforms will be used as carriers for selected components of the San C-UAS air defense system, designed to counter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Providing appropriate vehicle platforms is one of the key elements in the integration and deployment of the San system.

The San program is being implemented by a consortium in which the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) cooperates with its consortium partner, the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA), with the Polish company Advanced Protection Systems (APS) serving as a key subcontractor. Companies from the PGZ Group are also involved in the program, and within the framework of the so-called “Small Consortium” they have been assigned specific tasks related to the preparation and integration of the system.

The agreement, signed on January 30 this year and valued at approximately 15 billion PLN, covers the delivery of 18 anti-aircraft battery modules (BMO) with the capability to counter unmanned aerial systems. Each battery module will consist of three firing platoons and one support platoon. Every firing platoon will have full capabilities for the independent detection, tracking, identification, and engagement of aerial targets.

The KIA KLTV Cab Chassis Truck 4P platforms will carry 54 APS FIELDctrl Ultra radars, 108 FIELDctrl Follow radars, 54 launchers for AGR-20 APKWS II (Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System) guided rockets, 54 launchers equipped with the guidance antenna of the MEROPS counter-drone system, 36 WLKM 12.7 mm multi-barrel machine guns produced by Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów, and 54 vehicles equipped with electronic warfare systems (in total requiring 378 chassis – editor’s note).

It should be recalled that on September 25, 2025, a framework agreement was signed with the Armament Agency for the delivery of 1,266 Legwan light tactical vehicles for the Polish Armed Forces, which will join nearly 400 vehicles ordered two years earlier.

Other effectors of the San system include 18 SA-35 35 mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns (from PIT-Radwar) and 54 Protector MCT-30 (Medium Caliber Turret) 30 mm remotely controlled turret systems produced by Kongsberg, mounted on 20-foot container platforms. These will be installed on Jelcz 6×6 chassis, together with artillery workshops, radar workshops, fuel tankers, and transport vehicles, totaling 288 vehicles.
