\u201cOur defense industry has allocated significant assets to develop new solutions \u2014 for instance, new-generation passive radars \u2014 that could be used in this program. We need a foreign-made interceptor for these systems and the know-how that comes along with it, but the Polish industry is also hoping to gain new capacities from this program,\u201d Smura said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere has been much speculation surrounding the Narew program, but the ministry has emphasized the industrial cooperation angle from the very beginning,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Under the Narew procurement, the Polish military could acquire about 23 batteries, according to official government documents. The program was included in the ministry\u2019s Technical Modernization Program until 2026, which foresees spending a total of 185 billion zloty on new weapons and military gear.<\/p>\n
Who\u2019s competing?<\/b><\/p>\n
The leading contenders for Narew include a team of Raytheon and Norway\u2019s Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace; European defense giant MBDA; Israel Aerospace Industries; and Israeli firm Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.<\/p>\n
The joint U.S.-Norwegian bid relies on the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, or NASAMS. Should Poland hand the procurement to the two companies, this would mark their third missile contract from Warsaw combined. In addition to the Patriot missiles on order, the Polish military already operates the Naval Strike Missile coastal defense systems delivered by Kongsberg.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, MBDA is pursuing the short-range air defense deal with its Common Anti-air Modular Missile, or CAMM. And Rafael is offering its SkyCeptor interceptors, hoping to capitalize on the company\u2019s long-term cooperation with Poland\u2019s defense industry, which produces the Spike LR anti-tank guided missile under a license. The other Israeli player, IAI, is pitching its Barak MX system.<\/p>\n
As Poland\u2019s military modernization efforts accelerate, other major programs under development include the Kruk combat helicopter acquisition and the Orka submarine program.<\/p>\n
Under the Kruk effort, the ministry aims to purchase 32 combat helos for the country\u2019s Air Force. Potential suppliers include American firms Boeing and Bell and well as Italy\u2019s Leonardo and France\u2019s Airbus Helicopters.<\/p>\n
For the Polish Navy, the ministry wants three new submarines under the Orka program. Some of the manufacturers offering their vessels include Germany\u2019s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, with its 212CD-class sub; France\u2019s Naval Group, offering its Scorpene-class vessel; and Sweden\u2019s Saab, with the A26-class sub.<\/p>\n
