We have signed a strategic cooperation agreement (SCA) with PGZ SA, the Polish Armaments Group, to expand our collaboration across sea and air domains.
The SCA, signed during the defence industry exhibition MSPO in Kielce, Poland, will lead to enhanced co-operation – building defence systems and solutions to ensure cost-efficient and reliable through-life support solutions. The SCA will provide opportunities for us to combine capabilities to design, build, repair and service naval assets, sustain military aircraft and co-develop solutions for strategic asset management for the armed forces.
We have an established presence in Gdynia and Warsaw, already working closely with PGZ SA as the platform design provider and technology partner for Poland鈥檚 Miecznik shipbuilding programme 鈥� with the ship design based on 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 Arrowhead 140 platform. This programme will provide the Polish Navy with three multi-role frigates, strengthening significantly its combat capabilities and ability to deter threats on the Baltic Sea and beyond.
