Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A. (PGZ) and Frankenburg Technologies OÜ (Frankenburg) have signed an agreement to collaborate on the integration and joint marketing of advanced Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) and air defence solutions. The partnership aims to meet the growing regional demand for scalable, interoperable, and combat-proven effectors and systems.

Driven by the urgent need to ensure operational superiority and resilience across NATO’s Eastern Flank, this cooperation underscores the shared commitment of both companies to enabling Western and allied forces to effectively counter and neutralize the evolving threat of Russian drone warfare – particularly in support of the „drone wall“ initiative led by regional partners.

“Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa is developing its air defence capabilities, responding to dynamically evolving threats. Collaborating with Frankenburg Technologies has a dual significance for us – not only will we gain new competencies and a valuable partner, but we will also enhance our cooperation with Estonia. Due to our shared location, we are jointly strengthening NATO’s eastern flank.” – Arkadiusz Bąk, First Vicepresident of Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A

“We fully share Poland’s approach – prioritising local projects that strengthen our industry while remaining open to European cooperation and joint defence initiatives. The ‘drone wall’ integration has to start now if we want to be ready on time.” – Kusti Salm, CEO of Frankenburg Technologies

Under the agreement, PGZ and Frankenburg will focus on integrating Frankenburg’s missile systems with PGZ platforms, engaging in joint R&D initiatives and knowledge exchange. The collaboration also envisions future operational integration of Frankenburg’s technologies within PGZ’s air defence systems.

As part of the planning phase, both parties have agreed to establish localised missile manufacturing capacity of up to 10,000 units annually, ensuring sustainable production and rapid replenishment capabilities.

This milestone marks a significant step forward in regional industrial cooperation, enhancing local production capacity, securing the defence supply chain, and advancing innovation through R&D-driven solutions. The partnership exemplifies how regional defence industry collaboration can reinforce collective security, resilience, and technological sovereignty.
