Two PGZ contracts with the Armaments Agency

Polish Armaments Group concluded two agreements with the Armaments Agency. The first concerns the modernisation of NUR-12 radar stations at PIT-RADWAR, the second — replenishment of TNT and explosives stocks at the Nitrochem Chemical Plant.  During the ceremony, the president of PIT-RADWAR, the president of Nitrochem and the head of the Armaments Agency, General  Artur Kuptel, were present.

The agreement with Nitrochem concerns the replenishment of TNT charges and explosives used by engineering troops.  - We meet the needs of the Polish Army at a very high level while maintaining the highest standards - emphasised Arkadiusz Miszuk, president of Nitrochem.

The contract combines replacement and operational aspects – it secures the current needs of the engineering troops, while at the same time strengthening supplies for times of increased intensity of operations. The agreement is part of a broader policy of maintaining national self-sufficiency in the explosives segment within PGZ.

The modernisation contract provides for the delivery of six sets of NUR-12M stations, upgraded to the NUR-12MP version, and an option for three additional sets, also to the NUR-12MP standard. "We want to utilise the technology of the state-of-the-art Warta long-range radar to modernise the NUR-12 stations," said Marek Borejko, President of PIT-RADWAR. He emphasised that the transition from tube transmitters to fully solid-state technology opens up new possibilities and functions for the system.

General  Artur Kuptel emphasised the operational effect of modernisation. - Six to start with, three more in the future, but the detection capability will be exorbitantly higher - he said, pointing out that the eyes and ears of the Polish Army will gain significantly greater reconnaissance capabilities.  - This is another crucial step forward for Polish radiolocation - said the president of PIT-RADWAR, thanking the Armament Agency for the efficient preparation of the contract.
