On 1st September, 2015, WB Electronics and Thales unveiled their tactical unmanned aircraft system for the Polish GRYF requirement at the show. The WB Electronics/Thales solution offers, according to to companies, a capability that fully meets the GRYF requirements for an armed unmanned aircraft system, and delivers the capability through full Polish industrial collaboration.
Based on the combat-proven unarmed WATCHKEEPER system delivered to the British Army, the WB Electronics/Thales solution will integrate its surveillance capability with a strike capability of the Thales FreeFall Lightweight Multi-role Missile (FFLMM) together on a single platform. Commanders can fully understand and exploit their environment using the high-performance Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) capability. In a fast changing environment, the solution can dynamically re-task to an effects-based capability allowing them to make faster, better informed decisions during critical target engagement. Building on the partnership announced in July, the system will deliver the system through full partnership with the wider Polish industry. The Polish industry has extensive expertise in building unmanned aircraft: Many Polish solutions, such as the FlyEye offered by the WB Group, are currently being used by the Polish Armed Forces. Through this partnership, according to WB Electronics and Thales, the companies will be able to establish a sovereign capability for the Polish Armed forces. Critical technologies developed by Polish engineers could also be exported to other countries in the future.
“Thales is committed to delivering the right solution for Poland’s GRYF requirement," Pierre Eric Pommellet, Thales Executive Vice-President, Defence Mission Systems, said. "Of course, the solution is not just about meeting the capability needs but delivering the solution through collaboration with Polish industry. I look forward to fostering a close relationship with WB Electronics to ensure Poland fully benefits from its investment in unmanned aircraft systems.”
“Cooperation with Thales on project GRYF for the Polish Army is the best demonstration, that Polish companies have the capacity and expertise to offer the most technologically advanced military systems on a global level," Adam Bartosiewicz, WB Electronics Vice President explained. "We also expect that as a result of the established close cooperation, our British partners can also expand their trade portfolio on systems designed and developed in the WB Group. Cooperation between our companies is also the best example, of development of European Defence Sector according to guidelines of European Commission.”
