Especially for the Polish Army. WB Group announces a drone revolution and on land and at sea

The new terrestrial and sea unmanned aerial vehicles Polska Grupa WB intends to present as a proposal for the Polish Army. Until now, the company is known, among others from the production of Air Household Drone and Combat Systems Flyeeye and Warmate.

Representatives of WB Electronics announced new products that will be presented in public at the upcoming MSPO fair on Tuesday at a meeting with journalists. The company's leaders have announced a “multi -romant unmanned revolution”, including the development of sea and land drone systems, as well as advanced communication and management systems of these systems.

The first system that the WB group intends to propose in September – above all to the Polish – army, it is unmanned-fever platoon “Future Task Force”, which could be part of the Land Forces Company. It is about systems consisting of a commanding car and several accompanying cars – called effectors – various applications that could be used both as passenger vehicles and as unmanned. The wheeled vehicles are adapted to move on various types of surfaces, from asphalt roads to difficult forest area.

The purpose of using such a double structure is to ensure the versatility of the entire system – e.g. by enabling human vehicles to use public roads; After delivering the same vehicles to the indicated place, as already managed from the commanding car, unmanned aerial vehicles, they will be able to perform various types of missions – including reconnaissance, transport and combat.

Various equipment can be mounted on vehicles – including the ZMO -05 tower with a large -caliber machine gun, an erratic mining launcher, as well as, for example, Warmate drone launcher. Machines can also be used for transport tasks or medical evacuation. The vehicles have a hybrid drive, they are also equipped with a “quiet mode”, which allows, for example, to remain vehicles hidden for up to 7 days.

The company – also known for the production of communication systems – also emphasizes its competences in this area, including when it comes to managing drones and unmanned -fevous platoons on the battlefield. As assured by the director of WB for unmanned systems, Jarosław Czajka, WB communication systems are completely independent of foreign manufacturers and based on domestic encryption systems. Communication between individual systems can be based on retransmission signals by drones specially designed for this purpose, it can also be led – for shorter distances – through fiber.

The WB Group also ensures that the system is adapted to the needs and requirements of the Polish Army, including It fits into the general concept of changing the composition of land of the land forces presented many months, so that there are slightly less heavy vehicles in them – like infantry combat vehicles – and more spaces, including for unmanned systems. According to the leaders of the WB Group, they are able to adapt their equipment to the requirements of the army in a maximum of 6 months.

The company is also going to develop further in the field of sea drones. Two types of unmanned boats will also be presented at the Kielce MSPO, which are a proposal for the Navy, but also for special troops, border guards, and other services operating in marine areas.

As in the case of terrestrial unmanned aerial vehicles, also sea WB drones can be equipped with an armed UMM-05 tower or Warmate air launcher. This type of sea drones will be able to serve, among others for patrol, reconnaissance or protection of bases or designated waters at sea.

The WB Group is one of the largest private companies in Poland operating in the defensive sector. It provides the Polish army, among others Fighting and struggle management systems for artillery – including, for example, a crab armatohaubic or self -propelled mortars (topaz system), communication systems for land forces – installed, among others Rosomak transporters in various configurations, as well as unmanned systems, including the reconnaissance of Flyeye drones and circulating ammunition (so -called drones kamikaze) Warmate. Currently, a large part of the company's income comes from exports; An important recipient of the equipment produced by WB is Ukraine defending against Russia.
