Polish company Remontowa Shipbuilding delivered the second Kormoran-II class minehunter, ORP Albatros (602), to the Polish Navy on 12 August 2022.

Poland's Ministry of National Defence (MND) signed a contract on 26 June 2022 for the procurement of three additional Kormoran II mine counter measure (MCM) vessels for the Polish Navy.

A visualization of Babcock's Arrowhead-140PL design, which was chosen for Poland's Miecznik (Swordfish) frigate procurement program, was unveiled last week at a press conference hosted by the consortium PGZ MIECZNIK.

The PGZ MIECZNIK consortium has announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with British industries (Babcock, Thales UK, MBDA UK) and therefore selected the Arrowhead 140 design for the future multipurpose frigates of the Polish Navy.

The Polish government announced on February 10 the down selection of two competitors for the Miecznik frigate programme: Babcock's Arrowhead-140PL and Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems' MEKO-A300PL.

The Hydrographic Office of the Polish Navy has purchased iXblue DriX Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) through the company’s local partner THESTA. The USV will be advancing the Polish Navy hydrographic capabilities.

Navantia has moved to the next stage in the tender for the supply of the combat management system (CMS) for future frigates of the Polish Navy, along with three other contenders.

Babcock is pleased to be one of the companies down selected by the Polish Government, to provide a potential design solution for the Polish Navy’s Miecznik (Swordfish) frigate programme.

Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems has been shortlisted to prepare a concept design and feasibility study as part of Project MIECZNIK, the acquisition of multi-mission frigates for the Polish Navy.

The offer submitted by Navantia to the Polish Ministry of Defence to build three frigates in a Technology Transfer (ToT) program has been selected in a ‘short list’ along with two other finalists.
