“Thanks to this we are now confident that we can obtain the competences and deliver a number of military programmes, especially the ‘Narew’ short range air defence system, among others. This is a very important day for us, as it opens the perspective of co-operation between defence industries in European countries which are Nato members.”
The agreement provides a framework for future cooperation between PGZ and MBDA, regarding the missile programmes included in the Polish Armed Forces’ Technical Modernization Plan, MBDA stated.
It also expects the transfer of modern missile technologies to companies within PGZ and integrating these companies into MBDA’s global supply chain.
