Representatives of WB GROUP, including President Piotr Wojciechowski, took part in the “Road to Ukraine Recovery Conference – Security and Defence Dimension” held in Rzeszów. The event was attended by representatives of both the Polish and Ukrainian administrations, as well as industry stakeholders. The President of WB GROUP participated in a panel titled “Defence Industry Cooperation: Ukrainian Exports of Technologies and Goods Supporting the Development of Military Capabilities.” The panel also featured Iryna Terech of Fire Point, Andrii Pakhushchyi of Ukrainian Defense Industry, and Andrzej Banasiak of the Rzeszów Drone Cluster. “Industrial cooperation is not only about technological development, but also about concrete actions: local investment, production in Ukraine, skills development, employment of local personnel, and tax contributions—all of which make a tangible contribution to economic recovery and stability,” said Piotr Wojciechowski. WB GROUP has been active in Ukraine since 2014, delivering advanced unmanned systems, including the reliable #FlyEye reconnaissance platform and loitering munitions from the #Warmate family. Cooperation with Ukraine goes beyond sales: WB GROUP invests locally, developing production facilities and creating jobs. WB Ukraine is a key entity contributing to Ukraine’s security. This cooperation model is based on the rapid adaptation of solutions to battlefield conditions, operator training, system certification, and continuous alignment with user requirements.

"Airbus Defence and Space, Thales Alenia Space, and Poland’s RADMOR S.A. (part of WB GROUP) have formalised an industrial cooperation agreement aiming to develop a geostationary defence telecommunications satellite for the Polish Ministry of Defence. The satellite will be part of the Readiness 2030 plan, launched by the European Commission in March last year. Joint statement released by the companies stated the new geostationary satellite will provide secure communications for the armed forces and is designed for a high degree of robustness and resilience" – via MSN.

"The 7th Pomeranian Territorial Defence Brigade has received a batch of fifty RADMOR S.A. 3501/8 handheld radios. This strategic step is aimed at significantly enhancing the training level of soldiers and the effectiveness of their operations in the field. The new equipment, developed in Poland, ensures secure and encrypted communication, supports navigation, and integrates with command systems, marking an important milestone in the development of the operational capabilities of the Territorial Defence Forces / Wojska Obrony Terytorialnej. The RADMOR 3501 handheld radio is a fully domestic solution in the field of tactical communications, distinguished by its advanced functionalities. As emphasised by Bartłomiej Zając, EMBA, President of the Management Board of RADMOR, both the hardware and software are the intellectual property of WB GROUP. This ensures full control over the system’s development, security, and future upgrade paths" – via Portal Obronny. More at: https://lnkd.in/dy3wz2FZ

"The advanced #GLADIUS reconnaissance-strike system developed by WB GROUP has been gradually introduced into service with the Polish Armed Forces for several years. The contract for the delivery of four battery fire modules (BFMs) of the GLADIUS system was signed in May 2022. For the Rocket and Artillery Forces, it is one of the most significant contracts in recent years. The GLADIUS system enables soldiers to conduct patrol and reconnaissance missions using the #FT-5 UAV, and, if a threat is detected, to neutralise it using the #BSP-U strike UAV. Data collected by the GLADIUS system is processed and distributed via the #TOPAZ Integrated Combat Management System, which can share it not only within the battery but also with other units. This enables the achievement of a key synergy effect within the Rocket and Artillery Forces, thanks to solutions developed by WB GROUP" – via Defence24. More: https://lnkd.in/d4mjpz29

"The Polish Rocket and Artillery Forces are steadily introducing additional #Homar-K multiple rocket launchers into service. The system has been recognised by the Head of Rocket and Artillery Forces as a field-proven solution. Its integration into the national command-and-control architecture (including the #TOPAZ system) enables its interoperable use within the Polish Armed Forces. Homar-K has also been equipped with WB GROUP’s TOPAZ battlefield management system, allowing the polonised Chunmoo launcher to be fully integrated into the fire control and battlefield management system currently used by Polish artillery units – a best-in-class solution in terms of capability. The launcher has also been integrated with the #FONET digital communication system" – via Defence24. More at: https://lnkd.in/dxYqaaik Fot. szer. Tomasz Radziwiński / 2. Korpus Polski
