The Polish Army Will Receive Thousands of Drones Combat Proven in Ukraine
The Armament Agency has signed a framework agreement with the WB Group for the supply of nearly 1,700 FlyEye unmanned aerial systems. The contract is to be completed by 2035. It includes deliveries of the latest versions of the most famous Polish FlyEye system. The equipment is tested in combat conditions and is constantly being developed.
FlyEye is a system proven in the most difficult combat conditions. It has been used since 2015 during a high-intensity conflict in which electronic warfare measures are used on a large scale. The Polish solution can be constantly modified and improved, because all intellectual rights to the system belong to a Polish entity.
Representatives of the WB Group emphasize that the FlyEye construction did not use any Eastern or Western technologies that could be subject to restrictions. It is a system designed by Polish engineers and manufactured entirely in Poland.
The latest version of the FlyEye system debuts at MSPO. The unmanned aerial vehicle can perform missions in an environment without the support of satellite navigation systems, but also in the conditions of giving a false signal (so-called spoofing).
The unmanned aerial vehicle is equipped with a proprietary Mode S system transponder developed by the WB Group. The achievement is to minimize the device so that it can be built into a mini-class system. As a standard, UAVs of these dimensions are not equipped with transponders. Thanks to the use of Mode S, the unmanned aerial vehicle has the ability to perform operations in controlled airspace – it can be shared with other military and civil aircraft.
FlyEye is an unmanned aerial vehicle that can take off from one’s hand. It is praised by operators for its lack of heavy logistics. To complete a full-distance mission, all you need is equipment packed in three backpacks. The FlyEye platform is adapted to the installation of various sensors. Image stabilization in the latest version takes place directly on board the unmanned aerial vehicle. Thanks to this, the image is constantly stable and smooth. The set includes ICBC (SIŁA) – Intelligent Car Battery Charger.
