US defense company SRC has been awarded a significant follow-on contract to provide its SR Hawk surveillance radars to the Polish Armed Forces. This latest agreement is an extension of SRC’s ongoing collaboration with WB Group, a partnership that has seen the integration of SR Hawk radars into Polish BWR‑1D/S reconnaissance fighting vehicles and AWR artillery reconnaissance vehicles in previous years, specifically in 2021 and 2024.
The SR Hawk radars will be integrated into Rosomak wheeled armored personnel carriers. This advanced system features a Fall-of-Shot capability, which, when combined with WB Group’s TOPAZ automated fire control system, enhances the ability of Polish units to swiftly detect and engage targets. This sophisticated integration ensures that troops maintain comprehensive situational awareness across various combat domains.
With more than 500 SR Hawk units already deployed globally, the radar system proves effective in tracking artillery bursts, personnel, land vehicles, and marine vessels. This wide-ranging functionality equips Polish forces with robust surveillance and border monitoring capabilities.
Poland has been actively reinforcing its artillery reconnaissance and battlefield awareness as part of a broader defense procurement strategy, collaborating with both domestic and international partners. As part of these efforts, Poland is also advancing its unmanned reconnaissance capabilities. In September 2023, the Polish Armament Agency signed a framework agreement with WB Group focusing on the procurement of FlyEye unmanned aerial systems (UAS). A subsequent executive agreement signed in October 2025 further commits to additional deliveries, along with necessary logistics and training support.
The modernization of Polish reconnaissance forces extends beyond radar systems to include enhancements to light reconnaissance vehicles. In 2024, the country secured an order for 286 LOTR/Kleszcz armored reconnaissance carriers from a consortium led by AMZ‑Kutno, with scheduled deliveries stretching from 2026 to 2035. These new carriers are being equipped with advanced mast-mounted sensor suites, such as Aselsan’s ARSUS 100, designed to enhance persistent surveillance and targeting capabilities.
Overall, Poland’s strategic initiatives in defense technology and procurement illustrate a focused commitment to improving its military readiness and operational effectiveness in an evolving security environment.
