SECTION OF PLANS WZE SA
TODAY AND TOMORROW IN THE CONDITIONS OF CHANGE
The consolidation of the Polish defense industry has led to the concentration of companies with very different profiles and scales of activity in the PGZ group. For some of them, this is a great opportunity to become a leader in a given technology, product or service area. These companies include Wojskowe Zakłady Elektroniczne SA, whose new management has revealed to us bold development plans for the coming years. The plans and concrete actions being taken are based on three pillars:
– Close connection with the needs of the Armed Forces, including the upcoming PMT programs (including Wisła, Narew or Homar) as a reliable partner of other PGZ companies.
– Extensive development of existing cooperation with current partners, as well as with new foreign partners: Honeywell, Kongsberg, Harris, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin…
– Transformation of the previously provided services from a repair and maintenance group to a modernly managed service center offering full support for the systems used by the Polish Armed Forces.
WZE SA systems
The implementation of these plans, as the Board of WZE SA assures, has a solid foundation in the form of great experience of employees, deep business contacts with key foreign partners and good cooperation with scientific centers, supported by commercial success (which in itself is a rarity in Polish reality). The company's experience is due to modernization programs, where the "exhibit" is the Newa SC complex, as well as the development of individual products, mainly in the field of passive reconnaissance and electronic warfare. Let's take a closer look: Snowdrop - detection, identification and detonation of enemy radio sources; Mobile reconnaissance station "MSR-Z" - automatic recognition of signals from radars and devices installed on EW / RTR aircraft. The above technology was developed in the MZRiASR, i.e. ultra-mobile Set of registration and analysis of radar signals and Mobile station of electronic identification ECM/ELINT, successfully delivered to special forces. Such complex and, undoubtedly, technologically complex systems, developed and produced within the framework of domestic and foreign cooperation, are a good base and reliable recommendations of WZE in future projects.
Future
Building its future, the company, apparently, does not wait for "manna from heaven", but is actively involved in those undertakings, the results of which correspond to the previously set directions and have sufficient business potential. June of this year. The company received a certificate and the corresponding exclusive license to create within its structures the Kongsberg Certified System Maintenance Center for the marine missile part with NSM missiles. Wojskowe Zakłady Elektroniczne SA is already investing in new infrastructure and is renewing its license with the ability to service energy materials, including warheads. Such an integrated approach makes it possible to build a service center that meets Western standards and transfer new structures to the needs of serving the army in other areas.
Large offset programs...
The acquisition of new competencies is possible to a large extent through compensation programs. Wojskowe Zakłady Elektroniczne SA has one of the largest (if not the largest) experience in mastering technology transfer through credits and licenses in the country. An example is the credit of the American company Honeywell, which made it possible to offer TALIN polonized inertial navigation systems, which are necessary for other products, such as CTO Rosomak, Poprad or Krab. The Company is currently preparing to accept the technology transfer of the offset part for the Vistula system and the license for the Narew. This transfer is necessary for the rapid launch of production facilities in the field of licensed components - mainly subsystems of rocket electronics and radars designed by a foreign partner. The complex production of transceiver modules using GaN technology is becoming an increasingly urgent problem associated with power transmission lines. Almost every new radar for the Polish Armed Forces will be based on H/O modules and therefore their source should be fixed in national resources. Regardless of the possible credit/license, the WZE Board has begun activities aimed at creating an assembly shop for such modules within the company (or several PGZ companies). Subject to the import of MMIC from foreign partners, such investments should bring the first results in the form of a finished series of modules in about 1.5 years.
