Swedish defence technology company Nordic Air Defence has launched Nordic Air Defence Poland.
“This initiative reflects the growing need for scalable and cost-effective counter-drone defence systems across Europe,” CEO and co-founder of Nordic Air Defence, Karl Rosander, stated.
As part of the expansion, Nordic Air Defence will establish a local presence in Poland, including opening a Polish office, building a local sales organisation, and recruiting engineers and technical personnel. The company will also seek to establish assembly capabilities for its interceptor systems in the country.
“Poland is one of the most important defence markets in Europe today, and we look forward to building long-term industrial and technological cooperation with leading Polish partners to help develop a modern, layered counter-drone defence architecture for Poland and Europe, combining interceptor technology with AI-driven command systems and battlefield networking," Rosander said.
In parallel with the expansion, Nordic Air Defence has signed a Letter of Intent with Polish defence companies WB Group and Tantalit to establish strategic cooperation around counter-drone defence technologies.
The cooperation will focus on the integration, production, sales and deployment of Nordic Air Defence’s high-speed kinetic interceptor K100XR interceptor within WB Group’s counter-UAS ecosystem.
The interceptor has been designed as a scalable and cost-effective kinetic system capable of defeating hostile drones.
The companies will also explore technical integration of the K100XR into Tantalit’s AI-enabled command-and-control ecosystem - enabling sensor fusion, AI-assisted targeting and coordinated counter-drone defence.
The partnership will pursue industrial cooperation opportunities, including potential production or assembly of Nordic Air Defence’s interceptor system in Poland, helping strengthen Europe’s defence industrial capacity.
Under the proposed framework, Nordic Air Defence will act as design authority and developer of the interceptor system, while Tantalit and WB Group will contribute AI software, system integration and battlefield networking capabilities.
Joint technical workshops and feasibility assessments are expected to begin in the coming months, with the ambition of supporting Polish counter-UAS programs and potential export opportunities.
