Soldiers of the 5th Lubuskie Regiment of Artillery are successive users of the Gladius system, which is capable of conducting aerial designation and strokes utilizing specialized unmanned aircraft platforms. As the General Command of the RSZ emphasizes, Gladius for 5 LPA means modern equipment, advanced readiness and real reinforcement of combat capabilities.
New elements of the Gladius strategy went to the 1st Mazurian Artillery Brigade in December (16th Mechanized Division), and more late to the 5th Lubuskie Regiment of Artillery. The 12th Branch of the Szczecin Mechanical Division presented Waran 4 × 4 vehicles utilized as launchers and command wagons and Jelcz P662.D35 in 6 × 6, which in the Gladius strategy is utilized as a platform for maintenance trucks and mobile analysis stations.
Gladius, all components of which are integrated into the Topaz combat system, may operate in a battery group, within autonomous platoons or sections. The strategy developed by the WB Group consists of an air and land component. The flight part consists of unmanned air systems (BSP) for aircraft designation FT-5 Moose and effectors in the form of circulating BSP-U/Warmate 5–10 ammunition (may carry heads weighing 5–10 kg). For training tasks, a training version of BSP-UT is used, in which the imitation head is mounted. specified a drone, unlike BSP-U, is simply a multi-use device.
Unmanned FT-5s were equipped with sensors to detect and track objects in the visible band (FT-5 IMINT), utilizing an artificial aperture radar (FT-5 SAR) and a radio-electronic emanation band (FT-5 ELINT). The Reconnaissance Moose reaches a ceiling of up to 5 km and can fly about 180 km from the operator, remaining in the air for 10 hours. BSP-U serves for strike missions, which include, among others, the firing of armored and armoured vehicles, command and reinforcement stations. The effector can be equipped with various types of warheads, including shrapnel-storming or cumulative. The full strategy features, among others, modular design, integration of means of fire and diagnosis, opposition to radio-electronic combat (interference, false satellite navigation signals) or autonomous flight modes (attack mode, flight at selected points, flight to point, cruise over target, return mode to safe location).
Polish Army has been utilizing Gladius since December 2022, erstwhile the 18th Regiment of Artillery from Nowa Dęba, following an agreement signed by the Armed Forces Agency and the WB Group, received the first elements of this system. The contract worth about PLN 2 billion afraid the acquisition of 4 battery modules with supplies from 2022 to 2026. The first was full delivered to the 18th Artillery Brigade in December 2024. The second module for 1 MBA was besides started. The battery module consists of, among another things, trucks, command vehicles, ammunition vehicles, maintenance vehicles, another vehicles, FT-5 Moose drones and BSP-U reserves.
