The first contract signed between PGZ Stocznia Wojenna and Rohde & Schwarz involves the supply of state-of-the-art external radio communication equipment. This includes high-frequency (HF), very high frequency (VHF), and ultra-high frequency (UHF) radios, receivers, and antenna field elements. These components will integrate into the Integrated Communications System (IcommS) produced by PGZ Stocznia Wojenna, which has already proven its reliability and effectiveness on the Kormoran-class mine destroyers.
The Polish-developed IcommS will provide the Miecznik frigates with secure and efficient information exchange capabilities in tactical channels. Utilizing audio end terminals and the MMHS Hermes military text message management system, this solution underscores several years of development by the shipyard’s Electronics and Armament Centre, ensuring robust and secure communication for naval operations.
The second contract is dedicated to the provision of a sophisticated electronic warfare system (RESM/CESM). Rohde & Schwarz will equip the Miecznik frigates with their latest EW systems, which have already been successfully deployed on the German Navy’s F-125 frigates and will be featured on the upcoming F-126 frigates. This system will enhance the frigates’ capabilities to detect, intercept, identify, and analyze radar and radio communication signals, providing a tactical advantage in electronic warfare.
In addition to the supply contracts, a strategic relationship between PGZ Stocznia Wojenna and Rohde & Schwarz has paved the way for the establishment of a Electronic Warfare and SIGINT Academy at the PGZ Stocznia Wojenna shipyard. This facility, based on Rohde & Schwarz’s software simulator, will serve as Poland’s premier international engineering and training base for RESM/CESM, COMINT, and ELINT systems. It aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of Polish Navy personnel, ensuring they are well-prepared to operate and maintain advanced electronic warfare equipment.
