By 2035 Poland will allocate over PLN 640 billion to the military equipment itself, and the full request impulse, with service and maintenance costs, will be twice as advanced as estimated by PKO BP analysts. Deloitte's estimates indicate that 40 percent of orders will go to Polish industry. It is so essential to increase its production and competence. Investments in the sector are already bearing fruit, strengthening its position as an exporter of military equipment on the global market, as is illustrated by contracts signed by the Polish Armed Forces Group.
– We have already signed partnerships with key players in the planet market, we are increasingly strengthening in their supply chains and in the cooperation system. Nevertheless, the dynamic needs which make the expansion of the Polish Armed Forces, as well as the needs related to export activities, make us look for more partners – says Newseria agency Jacek Matuszak, Head of Communication Department in the Polish Armed Forces Group. – The agreements we sign with well-known large companies like Lockheed Martin, Airbus Helicopters, show that we are an increasingly desirable partner.
The year 2024 was a period of evidence revenues for PGZ – consolidated revenues were estimated at over PLN 13 billion, compared to about PLN 10.2 billion a year earlier – which confirms the scale of improvement and increasing importance of companies from the group in the defence market. Last year, the group signed contracts for evidence PLN 120 billion, including components of anti-aircraft defense, i.e. the production of launchers and missiles for the Narew system, or land components, specified as Krabs and Rosomak transporters. 1 fresh example is the signing of a contract at the September DSEI Fair in London between Mesko, a associate of the PGZ and the Swedish Defence Procurement Agency for the supply of portable anti-aircraft Lightning rocket kits. Although little than home sales, exports are an increasingly crucial part of growth strategy. It is the increasing activity on abroad markets that makes the group consistently make global cooperation and strengthens in global supply chains.
– Many of our products are already considered to be a hit, an export interesting product. This is what the Piorun set or the Crab cannonhaubica has been known for respective years. We are convinced that this group will be joined by a fresh fighting Borsuk infantry car, as well as Baobab’s overhead miner vehicle, both of which come from Huta Stalowa Wola, as these are top solutions in its category – points out Jacek Matuszak. – Given Baobab's possible and the situation on the east flank of NATO, we are convinced that not only in Poland, but besides in another countries that request to safe their borders, this equipment will be highly useful.
The Badger, manufactured in the Steel Wola Hut, is simply a modern combat infantry car with a distant control tower, Spike rocket launchers and ability to decision on both land and water. Its implementation will begin the exchange process of over 900 BWP-1, which inactive stay in the equipment of the Polish army. Baobab, in turn, is simply a strategy that allows to rapidly place minefields utilizing intelligent mines, which can be programmed for a specified time and which then become self-deactivated. akin solutions are already being tested in the Baltic countries, where Lithuania has acquired modern anti-tank mines as part of the Baltic Defence Line, strengthening its boundaries against threats from Russia and Belarus. Experts point out that specified technologies can become 1 of the pillars of the flexible defence of the countries of the region, and Baobab, thanks to mobility and automation, fits into these needs.
In addition to fresh vehicles, PGZ besides has hope for the Digital Baltic project, which is the digital imaging of the Baltic Sea. Digital Baltic combines satellite data, buoy observations and acoustic sensors and ship traffic information, creating a digital image of the situation in real time. The solution is intended to support both environmental protection and safety of critical infrastructure and shipping. akin initiatives, known as digital duplicate of the ocean, are being developed in Denmark, Germany, Sweden and Finland, as well as in EU pilot projects covering the Baltic and North Sea. Integrating data streams and prognostic models gives countries of the region a tool to respond to threats more rapidly and manage sea basins more effectively.
– It is an information strategy or electronic information management strategy that allows to defender the safety of the Baltic utilizing modern reflection devices – points out the Head of the Communication Department at PGZ. – We know that this solution, which has been developed by our Marine Technology Centre, can be utilized not only to defend the Polish maritime border, but besides to monitor the full Baltic Sea. If we combine this with building fresh frigates and another units for the Navy, and at the same time look at the expansion of the radiolocation system, various types of radars, etc., we can see that we are comprehensively approaching how to build the safety of our country and strengthen the possible of not only the Polish army, but besides another services and formations liable for the safety of borders.
PGZ besides signed cooperation agreements with Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego and PKO BP at the global Defence manufacture Exhibition MSPO 2025 in Kielce. The agreements are intended to supply multi-billion-dollar financing for the group, which will enable increased production, implementation of fresh contracts, investments in modern military equipment and support of Polish defence manufacture and state security.
– These agreements will let us to increase production dynamics as well as to accept further orders, due to the fact that they will warrant us credit lines and thus let us to make our portfolio – Jacek Matuszak says.
According to the PKO study on Macro Focus: Military expenditure – safety and developmentPolish equipment itself will allocate over PLN 640 billion by 2035, and with maintenance and service costs – over PLN 1.2 billion. Even with the presumption of advanced import-intensive arms spending, their combined impact on Poland's GDP will be affirmative and higher than the expenditure incurred. Effective implementation of the strategy for the improvement of the national defence manufacture would contribute to expanding the self-sufficiency of Poland in the production of equipment, strengthening defence capabilities, but besides to strengthening cooperation with another NATO countries. These investments could besides aid Poland to become more independent and strengthen its position as an exporter of military equipment on the global market. The transfer of an crucial part of request to the Polish manufacture can lead to a crucial strengthening of the fiscal impulse and to an increase in the scale of the spending multiplier. The simulation shows that the presumption of a decrease in import-intensiveness by half will contribute to the GDP growth by PLN 360 billion by 2035, which means a generated increase of 1.5 times higher than in the baseline scenario.
