The agreement will integrate Polish suppliers from across the PGZ enterprise into the development of the Barracuda platform. This partnership aims to strengthen Poland’s defence industrial base, expand AI-enabled defence systems, and create high-skilled jobs domestically.
“Today’s agreement is another step towards the development of the Polish defense industry. By combining PGZ’s industrial potential with Anduril’s experience in autonomous systems, we can introduce to our market a solution that meets the requirements of armed forces,” said Adam Leszkiewicz, CEO of PGZ S.A.
Leszkiewicz added: “This agreement paves the way for technology transfer, joint R&D and equipment development, which will strengthen the security of not only Poland but also the entire eastern flank of NATO. Through its partnership with Anduril, PGZ is opening up to new areas of activity, related to cruise missiles and rocket technology.”
Anduril highlighted the strategic importance of the cooperation with Poland and the focus on scalable, cost-effective defence systems. “Poland is a key strategic partner for Anduril. Working with PGZ to localize production of the Barracuda demonstrates how allied industry and sovereign suppliers can deliver rapidly scalable, affordable capability to deter aggression,” said Brian Moran, VP Anduril Europe.
The Barracuda platform is a modular, autonomous cruise missile capable of carrying various payloads and targeting modes, tailored for hyper-scale production. Its design is intended to offer flexible and cost-effective responses to large-scale missile threats in Poland and across Europe.
The implementation of the project will be subject to approval by the U.S. and Polish governments. Both PGZ and Anduril have committed to working closely with authorities to ensure compliance with all applicable trade and regulatory requirements.
