Poland has signed a $410 million export contract with ASELSAN for the supply of electronic warfare (EW) systems, marking one of the largest EW procurements in Europe in recent years. 

The agreement was finalized on December 19, 2025, with Poland’s State Treasury – Armament Agency (Agencja Uzbrojenia), according to disclosures by the Turkish defense firm and Polish officials.

ASELSAN described the deal as a direct export sale of EW systems. 

Polish reporting values the contract at roughly PLN 2 billion (about €480 million), a figure widely understood to refer to the same procurement announced the same day.

Spectrum Control and Counter-Drone Focus

Polish and defense-industry reporting characterize the purchase as covering radio-electronic warfare systems designed for electronic surveillance, electronic protection, and electronic attack. 

The systems are intended to enhance Poland’s ability to monitor, disrupt, and control the electromagnetic spectrum across multiple operational domains.

Officials have linked the procurement explicitly to counter-drone (C-UAS) requirements, including automated reconnaissance-and-jamming capabilities to detect, identify, track, and neutralize unmanned aerial systems. 

The EW package is positioned as a core component of Poland’s broader efforts to address drone threats and electronic attack risks along NATO’s eastern flank.

The signing was publicly associated with Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, who said the agreement concluded a negotiation process that had been underway for an extended period. 

He tied the deal to his recent visit to Türkiye, underscoring its role in deepening bilateral defense cooperation within NATO.

Polish reporting indicates the systems will be delivered on a long-term schedule, with implementation extending through 2035. 

No detailed delivery milestones or unit quantities were disclosed publicly at the time of signing.

Part of a Broader Modernization Package

The ASELSAN contract was announced alongside two other defense agreements signed on December 19, bringing the total value of the day’s procurement package to approximately PLN 2.6 billion. 

These included a contract with Saab for electronic reconnaissance systems and a separate deal for Leopard 2PLM simulator sets supplied by Autocomp.

Together, the agreements reflect Poland’s continued emphasis on electronic warfare, reconnaissance, and training capabilities as it accelerates military modernization amid heightened regional security pressures.
