WZŁ No. 1 S.A. a trusted partner in a new project concerning satellite communications system for the Polish Armed Forces

On Tuesday, 5 September 2023, during MSPO in Kielce, Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności No. 1 S.A. inaugurated their industrial cooperation with ICEYE Polska Sp. z o.o. They agreed to present together a proposal for the Polish Armed Forces regarding delivery of a Polish constellation of radar satellites together with a ground station and a mobile ground station. The project will be carried out by Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A., Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności Nr 1 S.A. (a member of PGZ Holding) and ICEYE Polska Sp. z o.o.

WZŁ No. 1 will be in charge of implementation of the mobile ground station concept, enabling safe and reliable management of the system in any conditions and from any deployment location. The mobile ground station concept is based on modern solutions that meet requirements of the contemporary battlefield in terms of data communications, security and safety, data transmission or power supply. The mobile ground station is to be developed as a mobile shelter with dedicated antennas to ensure high-speed transmission of data from the satellite segment and its subsequent distribution for the Polish Armed Forces. Meanwhile ICEYE will  provide the space infrastructure for reconnaissance systems.

WZŁ No. 1 has been systematically developing competence in the field of satellite communications for many years. We make most of satellite terminals currently used by the Polish army. Our solutions are fully compatible with mobile communications shelters currently used by the army. The concept of a mobile ground station, based on many years of experience of our company, has been developed to secure field and satellite communications system for the Polish Armed Forces. In the context of lessons learned from the war behind Poland’s Eastern border, this project perfectly fits current needs of battlefield reconnaissance, President of Management Board of WZŁ No. 1, Robert Kudelski said.
