AviationPolandMilitary Budget

Territorial defence – particularly air and missile defence capabilities - has become a top-priority of the Polish government, and its nearly-2% of GDP annual budget for defence will provide substantial opportunities for both foreign and Polish defence industry firms over the next decade.

Indeed, Poland not only stands out as the only country in Central Eastern Europe that possesses any considerable defence potential, but sometimes is even counted among “the few countries in Europe that remain serious military players”.

This cannot be attributed to its size alone. Centuries of titanic and often ill-fated struggle on the crossroads between the largest European and Eurasian pow-ers have created a rich military tradition and strategic culture in Poland. This ex-perience and an awareness of the need to preserve military force as one of the state’s key instruments and its ultimate guaran-tee for independence have also translated into a political willingness to support ro-bust defence spending.

This year’s defence budget equals ap-proximately $10 billion, which places it roughly between the Taiwanese and the Dutch defence budgets, and equals two thirds of the Israeli one. Even if these fig-ures are not entirely impressive in absolute terms, they are likely to grow steadily — as much as 50 percent by 2022.

This is thanks to the cross-party com-promise from 2001 under the so-called Komorowski plan (named in honour of the initiative of the President of Poland Bronisław Komorowski who back then held the post of the Minister of National Defence). The plan enforced a fixed formu-la stipulating that the basic defence bud-get should constitute at least 1.95 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Even if that requirement is not al-ways kept (the actual average spending reaches a level of 1.8-1.9 percent of GDP

annually), it makes Poland look much more serious than most of the continental EU members (the EU average spending is 1.5-1.6 percent, largely thanks to the UK, and France who overstate the European aver-age). The details of the current prospects for defense modernization may be extract-ed from the recent December 2012 biennial edition of the rolling 10-year plan. These plans envisage approximately 130-140 bil-lion PLN solely on defence procurement. 

Aviation Poland spoke with Tomasz Szatkowski, an expert in defence pro-curement and the President of the newly-formed Foundation “National Centre for Strategic Studies” about the priorities and implications of the current Polish defense modernization plans.

In your opinion, what are the main driving factors behind the Polish relative readiness to spend more on defence than its CEE neighbours? According to government plans, during the next decade Poland will focus on territorial defence rather than on out-of-area capabil-ities. Of the big- ticket programs, only four programs can be seen as serving all types

of missions: the helicopter (envisaging the acquisition of 70 medium-size aircraft for transport, anti-submarine warfare, search-and-rescue purposes), C4I pro-curement (digitization of the land forces down to the combat vehicle level by 2022), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (97 sets of short and medium range aircraft, including the armed versions) or the Advanced Jet Trainer program (8-12 planes).

The top-priority programs are, however, geared towards classic high intensity ter-ritorial defence. The biggest of them - ac-counting for 5-8 billion USD - is the plan for a complex upgrade of Poland’s air and missile defence capabilities with 6 medium range and 11 short range missile batter-ies with corresponding radar, command and communication, logistics and training package.

Another undertaking dealing with clas-sic heavy capability missions (one that is sometimes seen as arguably competing for priority in budgeting with missile defence) is the “armour program,” which envisions the upgrade and purchase of new tanks (al-together approximately 500) and modular wheeled and tracked platforms (altogether around 2000) rendering the Polish army the heaviest in Europe west of the Bug River.

The artillery’s firepower, range and pre-cision is also going to be significantly up-graded. The Ministry of National Defence plans to acquire hundreds of armoured mo-bile automatic mortars, heavy long-range precise howitzers and powerful rocket ar-tillery systems of the MLRS standard.

Striving to boost its territorial defence capabilities, Poland is not concentrating only on passive defence. The government is looking into options for conventional deterrence through a long-range precision strike. The plans to equip its F-16s with stealth AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles have already been announced, and there is also an interest in purchasing tactical mis-siles for MRLS launchers. Discussions and studies are underway on whether the most significant naval procurement program – three conventional submarines with revolutionary air-independent propulsion – should also be equipped with tactical missiles.

Contrary to most of its NATO allies Poland is increasing rather than cut-ting its defence spending. The pri-orities that you have mentioned also seem to be in stark contrast to those of most of the allied states. What is the reason for these differences?

These plans, indeed, constitute a signifi-cant turn in relation not only to other allies but also to the first decade after Poland’s accession to NATO in March 1999, which was largely marked by the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Poland responded to those expeditionary contingencies to the extent it could, rotating altogether approximately 30,000 troops. The ratio-nale behind the Polish involvement was however not rooted in a concern about a terrorist threat on the Polish soil, but was rather defined as an investment in trans-atlantic relations. Poland started to appear on terrorists target lists only as a result of its involvement in missions in Iraq and in Afghanistan. This risk was accepted in the expectation that Polish participation will strengthen NATO and the transatlantic security architecture more widely, which were seen as main guarantees of Poland’s sovereignty.

These missions have certainly served to positively transform some of the post-Warsaw Pact legacy of the Polish military and have geared it for becoming a more efficient ally of the U.S. Armed Forces in their counter-insurgency efforts. At the same time, however, the missions drained Poland’s modernization budget. Consequently, together with sizing down

the Afghanistan operation, the US and NATO have heralded the withdrawal from large counter-insurgency operations in the coming years.

Meanwhile, for Poland, old threats have re-emerged. Russia, with a defence budget growing manifold as a result of the boom in the fossil fuel market, has become in-creasingly assertive in its so-called “near abroad.” The 2008 war in Georgia, the openly-confrontational joint Belarusian and Russian military exercises just across the Polish border in 2009, along with the realization that the effective range of the Russian tactical missiles covers at present most of Polish territory, have been a cold shower for those believing that the end of the Cold War also brought about the “end of history.”

Additionally the U.S. plan to “pivot” towards the Western Pacific and percep-tions of decreasing U.S. strategic interest in the CEE region have only heightened Poland’s insecurity. There is fear that the new security concept of NATO, with its re-assertion of collective defence and the new contingency plans, will remain o nly on pa-per. This fear has recently been reinforced by the US decision to cancel the most ad-vanced phase of its plans to build a missile defence site in Poland.

What does the Polish defence moderni-sation mean for Poland’s allies from NATO and the EU?There is a danger that the security vacuum created by the perception of an American withdrawal from Europe may be filled with new realignments of power. One of the ways to maintain the transatlantic secu-rity architecture is to help assuage security concerns in Northern as well as Central and Eastern Europe.

The symbolic “visible assurances”, as they are often called, such as the presence of the U.S. Air-Detachment in Poland (in November, the US formally established a United States Air Force detachment at Łask Air Base While types of visiting U.S. aircraft will vary, the squadrons will in-clude F-16 or C-130 planes, accompanied by up to 200 uniformed military person-nel) and the permanent NATO Baltic Air Policing mission, may not suffice for that purpose. The augmentation of indigenous capabilities in the region remains the only other option.

The success of Poland’s defence modern-ization and the country’s ability to serve as a potential security provider in the region is key to such a concept. Ultimately, this lies at the core of Poland’s role in European defence and within NATO that is becoming even more crucial at the time of the U.S. “rebalancing” toward Asia.

What are the biggest challenges for the Polish procurement plans?So far the fixed budget formula for de-fence spending and the broad political support for it makes it less plausible that the government will give up on these ambi-tious plans. Only grave financial problems would change the mood here.

The main challenge may lie in the need for improving the defence planning and resources management culture, which is currently suffering from deficiencies typi-cal of CEE countries. Those countries have inherited their military establishments from the previous Warsaw Pact era when it was largely Moscow’s decision who pro-cured and what equipment. As a result the Polish government still has to learn how to prioritize its defence spending and to man-age the procurement and the maintenance processes of defence acquisition.

The bureaucracy of the Ministry of National Defence has a reputation of being inert and not very innovative in executing the will of the politicians.

How interesting is the Polish defence modernization to foreign defence industrial companies?

As I have indicated, Poland is one the few countries in the wider Western world that is currently increasing its defence budget and embarking on an ambitious procure-ment plan. This opportunity cannot be overlooked by the industry. Most of the companies willing to be prime contrac-tors are already active in the market. For instance, Raytheon, Lockheed, MBDA, Kongsberg and Rafael are front runners for the air and missile defence program. So are DCNS and TKMS for the subma-rine programme. Lockheed and Kongsberg are very interested in providing tactical missiles. Sikorsky, AugustaWestland and Eurocopter are competing for the helicop-ter deal.

The Polish defence tenders may, how-ever, offer an opportunity for relative new-comers as was the case ten years ago with

the Finnish Patria which secured a huge contract for modern Armoured Personnel Carriers. Similar opportunities emerge for many sub-contractors who can supply leading competitors. This is also the case for programs which will be led by the con-sortia of local defence industrial entities – first and foremost in areas of land vehicles, artillery, command and communication.

And what are the main challenges or possible obstacles on their ways for securing interesting and profitable contracts for foreign defence indus-trial companies?Foreign defence companies, need to take into account a growing Polish appetite for industrial participation in foreign arms procurement, as well as for a more mature control over the acquired technologies (in particular over source codes, service, maintenance and prospective moderniza-tion). They should think creatively about how to maximize the prospects for their cooperation with relatively large Polish de-fence industrial base. This task will not be easy, as the Polish government has prob-lems with formulating a cohesive strategy towards the country’s defence industrial base. Therefore, for instance, it might be difficult to pick the right local partner from a still-fragmented Polish defence industry.

This effort should pay off nonetheless. The up-to-date track-record of the foreign industrial aerospace and defence presence in Poland has been largely a success story.

Establishing an industrial presence in Poland should be interesting not only be-cause of the prospects for supplying the Polish military. Poland may be a very good springboard for a presence in the European defence market, which is gradually liber-alising its up-to-date exemptions from the Common Market rule. What is clear from the fast-expanding presence of the aerospace industry, particularly around the Aviation Valley near Rzeszow, is that Poland also offers highly-trained engi-neering personnel and decent industrial infrastructure.

The Polish government, in turn, should recognize that the defence economy of a medium state does not create conditions for a defence industrial base which could encompass a full range of products. The government should focus on those tech-nologies which are critical from the na-tional security point of view. It should also be able to assess which other technologies offer good chances to become national spe-cialisations and as a result attempt to in-duce their development in Poland. n

AviationPoland Policy

by Robert Kupiecki

Excerpts from a recent speech by the Polish Deputy Minister of Defense Robert Kupiecki at the German Marshall Fund’s conference “Maximizing National Security: The Framework for U.S.-Polish Strategic Cooperation on Missile Defense”.

Ladies and Gentlemen,Let me start with congratulations for the or-ganizers of this conference — the German Marshall Fund of the United States, the Polish National Defense University and their spon-sors — for gathering such a distinctive group of panelists and participants in Warsaw. They combine civilian and military, governmental, industrial and think-tank experience.

I am grateful to the organizers for the oppor-tunity to share with you today a Polish perspec-tive on missile defense. I hope it will kick-off an interesting and productive debate.

Missile defense has been a topic lively discussed on both sides of the Atlantic for more than a decade. In 2002, the United States started their briefings at NATO re-garding their missile defense plans. Since then, this issue has been placed high on our defense policy agenda in Poland too,

and likewise on the Polish-U.S. security agenda.

Polish modernization efforts in the air and missile defense domain got their momentum last year. In 2012, we adopted a multi-billion long-term program for the development and modernization of our armed forces. Among oth-er priorities, the key focal areas in our Armed Forces Vision 2022 are air defense and lower-tier missile defense.

Our national missile defense efforts, the NATO Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program and the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) form a coherent and credible defense framework, and a high-value defense strategy of relevance to the entire NATO area of responsibility.

Today, the Polish Ministry of Defense finds itself a moment away from taking crucial decisions on air and missile defense modern-ization. The conceptual and planning phase should be concluded within the next few months. But even though some crucial issues are still in process, I will try to sketch-out a picture of why and what we want to achieve in this regard.

Let me start with the question: Why does Poland need modern air defense, in-cluding missile defense capabilities?

First, current Polish air defense assets mostly come from the Soviet era, and should be considered obsolete. Their further moderniza-tion is generally thought of as not technically and financially justifiable. Currently, we do not have any anti-missile defense capabilities. Therefore, taking up the modernization chal-lenge, and broadening our air-defense options

and capabilities is not only a rational choice, but simply comes out of necessity.

Second, Poland, as a member of NATO, cannot isolate itself from the capabilities or threat-driv-en defense programs of the Alliance. The defense of our territories, population, infrastructure and deployed forces requires both national and collec-tive actions — and most significantly, resolute decisions and corresponding capabilities.

It is likely that the ballistic missile threat to the Euro-Atlantic area will significantly grow in the future. In this context, one needs to un-derstand that the development of credible air and missile defense cannot happen overnight, it is technologically complicated and consumes a lot of resources. Consequently, it needs to be a step ahead of a possible threat, so that when tensions rise and threats emerge a proper de-fense is already in place.

If there are any doubts about this statement, I would strongly recommend drawing lessons from the Israeli experience in building their own anti-missile shield, which proved to be so effective during the defense operations against missiles launched by Hamas (operation Pillar of Defense). Its system, once highly criticized for being too expensive and possibly ineffective, now proves to be the solution. I use this case not to praise any particular technology or pretend that there exists a ready-made one-size-fits-all solution, but to point out the wisdom of correct and far-sighted decisions.

Third, Poland has been a strong advocate of NATO BMD development for years. We believe this capability will strengthen Euro-Atlantic security and contribute to NATO’s deterrence posture. The system should become one of the most visible examples of NATO solidarity and defense capability. Now, when there is a chance that the NATO BMD will materialize, we want to be a part of it. As a result, development of missile defense capabilities by Poland will ben-efit not only Polish or regional security, but also the defense of the Alliance as a whole.

But what exactly do we plan to achieve?The general aim is:– To build effective defense against both air

threats, and short- and medium-range bal-listic missiles.

– To achieve flexibility and adaptability of the systems, so that they can effectively respond to changes in air and missile threats, and be upgradable as necessary. Therefore, while thinking about the risks of

today, we want to develop a system that is able to function over a longer period of time.

Consequently, in order to build an effective air and missile defense system, we plan to mod-ernize the whole spectrum of capabilities: from short-range air defense, through lower-tier air and missile defense assets, to radars and com-mand and control systems.

It is quite a challenge, but the key in our mod-ernization efforts is the short-range air defense system and the medium-range air defense with the lower-tier missile defense capabilities. To this end, by 2022 we plan to acquire:– Eleven short-range air defense batteries.– Six batteries of the medium-range air de-

fense system with lower-tier missile defense capabilities.Regarding the project itself, we keep working

on developing the optimal acquisition of a lower-tier air and missile defense system. Two factors are of particular importance in this process:– First, operational capabilities.– Second, the quality of the industrial

partnership with the Polish entities in the system’s development, including the transfer of technology. Providing medium-range air defense with low-

er-tier missile defense capabilities for our armed forces will require the cooperation of Polish indus-try with its technologically advanced foreign part-ners. The strategic approach we took in develop-ing these capabilities centers around a long-term partnership between the Polish government and defense industry and foreign partners.

It pertains to all phases of the project, includ-ing its development, acquisition, integration and future upgrades. Aiming at maximum quality and optimal performance, this process should bring mutual benefits to all participants. The industrial partnership should involve real tech-nology transfers and an innovative involvement of the Polish defense industry in the production and further upgrades of the weaponry.

It needs to be added that we are planning our air and missile defense capabilities in the context of the NATO defense planning process and the deployment of the US SM-3 base in Poland by 2018.

So, please let me share a few thoughts on the NATO BMD and our cooperation with the United States.

I wish to start with stressing that the NATO BMD Interim Capability — declared last year by the Alliance — is just the first step in the system’s long-term build-up. In order to develop capabilities for comprehensive missile defense of the NATO European populations, territories and forces, a lot of work is ahead of us.

First, it is important to stick to the agreed schedule for the NATO BMD development, namely to achieve initial and full operational capabilities in 2015 and 2018 respectively. Taking into account that the U.S. EPAA con-stitutes a foundation for the NATO BMD, we should also strive to link progress on the NATO BMD with the EPAA’s phases II and III.

Second, in order to make the system effec-tive in the long -run, its architecture has to be sufficiently credible and adaptable to counter not only current and known threats, but also those that could arise in the future. This refers to both their intensity and direction.

By acquiring new air and missile defense ca-pabilities and making them part of the NATO BMD, we will not only add to our national and regional security, but will also significantly contribute to defense of our allies.

Moving on to our cooperation with the United States in the development of the EPAA. BMD has become a solid and — I want to be-lieve — a long-term element of our defense cooperation with the United States. Our expec-tations regarding the EPAA concern not only missile defense. We think that our cooperation on BMD should lead to the deepening of Polish-American strategic relations in the sphere of defense. In this regard, I have a feeling that “Poland delivers” in terms of defense capabili-ties. As a willing and able ally, as well as an or-ganizer of regional defense synergies, Poland should be viewed by its U.S. ally as a solution to many problems European defense is confronted with in the era of fiscal austerity.

Leaving missile defense aside for a moment, I believe that together with our U.S. partners we

will explore this potential for a mutual strategic partnership to the maximum. The most recent example of that is the first rotational presence of the U.S. C-130 aircrafts in Poland, within the framework of the Aviation Detachment project.

Coming back to missile defense, currently we are working with the United States on the deploy-ment of the SM-3 site in Poland. Its timetable has been confirmed by the U.S. Administration, and is also demonstrated by frequent design and study visits by U.S. mili in Poland should be in place and operational in 2018.

There are obvious benefits of having the US SM-3 installation on our territory.

Strategically, it will strengthen Polish, U.S. and NATO security. It will also play a role in furthering the NATO Strategic Concept prin-ciple of “visible assurance” and a “smart” ap-proach to defense. Moreover, the BMD base will be the first such permanent military presence of the United States in Poland, and in this part of Europe. We see it as a strong and welcome reaf-firmation of U.S. engagement in the security of its European allies.

In military terms, the EPAA will provide the upper-tier missile defense of the allied terri-tory, including Poland.

Finally, the development of an air and missile defense system should deepen our technological

and industrial cooperation, and benefit our economies.

Coming to the end of my speech, I would like to touch on the issue of our cooperation in missile defense with other allies and foreign partners.

As I already mentioned, providing lower-tier missile defense capabilities for our armed forces will require cooperation between Polish indus-try and foreign partners. The long-haul ap-proach we took in developing these capabilities points to the need for long-term partnerships. It could pertain to our NATO Allies, including those in the region, but also our non-NATO partners.

One of our goals in exploring international cooperation is to engage with our regional part-ners, i.e. from the Visegrád Group, the Weimar Triangle and the Baltic States, in mutually ben-eficial cooperation.

Summing up, Poland’s engagement in missile defense is three-fold. It involves first, national efforts; second, the NATO BMD; and third our cooperation with the United States in the EPAA.

On the national level, air and missile de-fense is high among our military moderniza-tion priorities. This decision stems mainly from the premise that air threats to NATO,

including our region, are real and are ex-pected to grow, while the current capabili-ties cannot efficiently deter or counter them. The main effort will be concentrated on the medium-range air defense with lower-tier missile defense capabilities. The conceptual and planning work in this regard is in an ad-vanced phase. The first batteries should be acquired in 2017.

This modernization effort opens a huge space for mutually beneficial cooperation with foreign partners, including on the industrial level. It is also important to stress that it will not impede industrial cooperation opportunities in other key areas of our modernization, such as helicopters, the navy, UAV’s and C4ISR systems.

With regard to the NATO BMD, allies are in the initial stage of its development. However, even now, we should think in terms of the big picture and work hard to ensure that it will be-come an efficient, comprehensive defense and deterrence tool.

Finally, we remain fully committed to coop-eration with the United States in the develop-ment of the EPAA, and see its clear benefits for all NATO allies. Missile defense has become one of the most significant elements of our strategic partnership with the United States in the de-fense sphere. n

The Podkarpackie region – a place for innovation�e Podkarpackie region is located in the south-east of Poland. It shares part of its borders with Slovakia and Ukraine. Until recently, it was mostly famous for its unpolluted environment and unique landscapes, yet now Podkar-packie is gradually becoming the Polish capital of the aviation industry, a sector based on cutting-edge technology and - according to experts - with great promise for further development.

�e impressive growth of this branch of industry is demonstrated by statis-tics. For example, in 2003, the Aviation Valley cluster had only 18 members. Now, there are 112. 10 years ago the total sales of this sector amounted to USD 250 million. Today it is almost USD 2 billion. �e aviation sector is attracting new investors with its well-prepared investment areas, such as those situated in the area of the Podkarpackie Science and Technology Park “Aeropolis”.

�e investors will �nd here a substan-tial supply of quali�ed high-tech indus-try sta�. �e aviation sector’s long-term and systematic cooperation with the science and research sector (i.a. the Rzeszów University of Technology) facilitates the training of highly-skilled personnel to suit the needs of this challenging industry.

�e aviation sector is bound to become the “smart specialisation” of the Podkarpackie region, a sector of multi-ple opportunities and greater chances for advancement. It is a region most worthy of being invested in by the

European Union and included in the 2014-2020 �nancial perspective.

While the aviation industry is the crucial branch of the region’s

economy, a number of other sectors also deserve mentioning due

to their dynamic growth and the prospects they o�er, such as the IT, pharmaceutical and household appli-ance industries.

Owing to the prudent strategy of managing EU funds as much as to the diligence and hospitality of the local community, the Podkarpackie region is becoming an increasingly accommodat-ing area for foreign investments, especially those that opt for modern technologies and eco-friendly solutions. It welcomes visitors who not only wish to set up a company here but also want to surround themselves with the beauty of nature and experience the marvels of the local, multinational culture.

During his visit in early June to the F-16 aircraft base in Lask near Lodz, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that Poland needed a deterrent force so that potential enemies do not even think about attacking Poland. The Air Force is one of the most important elements of the new military-political strategy. The Polish gov-ernment decided that in the next 10 years the country would spend a record amount on weapons - over $45 billion. Speaking to the pilots of the 32nd Tactical Air Base where Squadron F-16 is located, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that their ser-vice was a key element of the defense strat-egy of the Republic of Poland. He added that the key task was to make the poten-tial enemy abandon the idea of attacking Poland thanks to the pilots' courage and skill, thanks to modern technology and high quality of the commanders. The Prime Minister further developed his con-cept saying that when it came to a conflict, casualties were inevitable, which is why every modern state, including the Republic of Poland, was establishing its military po-sition in such a way as to avoid the worst case scenario, which required deterrence forces.

The Prime Minister reminded about the main areas of arms spending in the frame-work of this strategy planned for the com-ing years. This, in particular, is equipment for F-16 aircraft with maneuvering rock-ets, development of coastal missile divi-sion (that would be able to attack ground

targets as well), and the Special Forces, as well as rapid transfer of Army combat drones. The head of the Polish govern-ment also stressed that the strategy was an element of cooperation with the United States, NATO and the countries of the re-gion. Tusk concluded that hard efforts such as spending on modern equipment and training of soldiers, as well as political efforts whose goal is to create safe unions, are expected to ensure Poland's homeland security more effectively than ever in the history of Poland.  

Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak who accompanied Donald Tusk said that

he felt that the issues of defense were im-portant for the Prime Minister and the government. He added that it was a special moment for the Air Force as it has been several years since the beginning of their intensive retrofitting. The Minister men-tioned the purchase of combat aircraft F-16, and then C-295 transport and multi-ton giants such as Hercules.

The Minister stated that advanced pilot training was to be implemented, and the respective processes have already begun. He added that Poland would have every-thing necessary to train the best pilots in the world. n

The biggest Czech aircraft producer Aero Vodochody confirmed in June its with-drawal from the tender for the supply of 12 training planes for the Polish military.

The tender’s conditions were unclear, there were mistakes in it and too high a bank guarantee was required, according to complaints by the company’s spokeswom-an Tereza Kryspinova. “In view of the cha-otic approach by the organiser and of some unclear aspects of the tender’s conditions, we’ve decided to terminate our participa-tion in the tender. We informed the Poles about our decision in advance, before the deadline for submitting the bids expired,”

Aero Vodochody President Ladislav Simek said.

Aero Vodochody withdrew from the ten-der in June.

Another reason behind its withdrawal is that it had little time to prepare its bid, in view of the big volume of information re-quired. The company received the tender's conditions on May 13 and June 7 was set as the deadline for submitting the bids, the company said in a press release.

Aero Vodochody offered subsonic fight-ers L-159 to the Polish military also in a previous tender which was scrapped in December 2011.

Within the tender, Aero Vodochody of-fered to Poland a two-seat training plane L-159, which is suitable for training future pilots of the Polish Air Force's F-16 fighters.

L-159 is a training subsonic plane used by the Czech Air Force. Kryspinova said the company worked on its modified ver-sion corresponding to Polish needs.

Poland reckons with buying new aircraft in 2016-2017. Preliminary bids for the sup-ply have been submitted by Italy's Alenia Aermacchi, with its M 346 Master, British BAE Systems with Hawk and the U.S. com-pany Lockheed Martin, which offered the South Korean-made T-50s. n

In the EU FP7 CARE project, nine European aerospace clusters are working to promote regional research in green aviation technologies

Clean Aerospace Regions – CARE. The name says it all. For the environment, but also for the future of the European aviation industry. Green technologies create decisive competitive advan-tages for future air transport systems. In the CARE framework, nine aviation clusters from Europe, along with a consulting company, want to promote research in green technology within their networks, thereby increasing their competitiveness. 

They are therefore aiming at more intensive networking in various areas. One goal is to increase energy efficiency along the entire aircraft value creation chain, from design and production to flight operations, maintenance, overhaul and ultimately to recycling. Other focal points include improv-ing flight systems, optimal exploitation of the potential of the Single European Sky and the integra-tion of air traffic in a multimodal, green air transportation system.

Poland urgently needs strong deterrence forces

Czech aircraft maker withdraws from Polish tender

In the EU FP7 CARE project, nine European aerospace clusters are working to promote regional research in green aviation technologies

Clean Aerospace Regions – CARE. The name says it all. For the environment, but also for the future of the European aviation industry. Green technologies create decisive competitive advan-tages for future air transport systems. In the CARE framework, nine aviation clusters from Europe, along with a consulting company, want to promote research in green technology within their networks, thereby increasing their competitiveness. 

They are therefore aiming at more intensive networking in various areas. One goal is to increase energy efficiency along the entire aircraft value creation chain, from design and production to flight operations, maintenance, overhaul and ultimately to recycling. Other focal points include improv-ing flight systems, optimal exploitation of the potential of the Single European Sky and the integra-tion of air traffic in a multimodal, green air transportation system.

Ground operations at the airport should become greener, but it doesn't stop there: the journeys taken by passengers to and from the airport are part of this, too.

Germany and Poland plan Naval cooperationGerman Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière signed a memorandum of understanding with his Polish counterpart Thomasz Siemoniak for closer cooperation between the two countries’ navies, in late May.

The agreement paves the way for 28 joint projects, including joint monitor-ing of the Baltic Sea, combined train-ing missions and perhaps cooperation in shipbuilding. A statement on the Polish Navy’s website said it was largest cooperation “by far” between the two navies.

“We have long become friends—to-day we are real partners in the Baltic Sea and beyond,” said de Maizière.

“This is a completely new quality of cooperation in the Baltic Sea … for both of our countries in nato and the European Union,” he said.

Just like the Netherlands’ recent decision to put its paratroopers under German command, this cooperation is driven partially by financial con-siderations. “Together we are stronger for sure,” said Siemoniak, adding that together the two nations could “bet-ter spend our taxpayers’ money on defense.”

Siemoniak said this cooperation with Germany was part of the Polish Navy’s plan to modernize by 2030.

The two countries will begin to im-plement the joint projects in June. “By signing the letter of intent to deepen defense cooperation, the two countries not only highlight the special relation-ship, but at the same time they want to give new impetus to the cooperation in the future,” said a press release on the German Navy’s website.

But, as Die Welt points out: “Letters of intent are a pleasant thing. The thought that counts, not the re-sult.” Nothing has actually happened here—Germany and Poland have agreed that they want things to start happening.

But there seems a good chance the two nations will follow through. There’s a good chance these agreements will sow the seeds of yet more coopera-tion as the EU’s economic problems force militaries to work more closely together. n

Polish officials say they intend to push for the involvement of local arms producers in new contracts for rockets, ships, helicopters, tanks and small arms, and will favour bids that include a hefty dose of technology trans-fers, offsets, and Polish final production.

The programme aims to spend about a third of the defence budget over the next decade on modernisation – amounting to about 140bn zlotys. That will buy a new missile defence system, new vessels for the navy fleet, upgraded tanks, new mili-tary training aircraft, 70 new helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and equipment for troops.

“This is a programme that is noticeable from abroad,” Tomasz Siemoniak, the de-fence minister, told the Financial Times.

Defence companies from western Europe, the US and Israel are beating a path to Warsaw. “Everyone is here,” a se-nior defence consultant said.

However, as with most other military spending in the EU, the bulk of the con-tracts are likely to go to Polish military suppliers, primarily state-owned Bumar. The military’s goal is for Polish companies to eventually take an 80 per cent share of incoming contracts, up from just over 50 per cent at present.

Mr Siemoniak is insisting that any de-fence contracts include technology trans-fers and a significant element of produc-tion in Poland.

“For us an optimal result is to develop these big contracts in a way that we are also in the kitchen, that our engineers and scientists are taking part in an equal way,” he said. “Whoever promises us a greater share of technology transfer and work in Poland will be favoured.” Mr Siemoniak says he will “take advantage” of whatever possibilities he has to ensure Polish par-ticipation the defence contracts.

Poland’s missile defence programme is already seeing interest from a consortium built around France’s MBDA, while the Israeli Rafael David’s Sling programme is

thought to have an edge on a scheme that could cost up to 30 billion zlotys.

Military producers are well aware of the need to have a presence in Poland to com-pete for contracts. BAE Systems has an-nounced that it will set up a repair facility in Poland to handle eight jet trainers if it wins the contract to supply the Polish air force.

“BAE Systems understands that the security of supply and operational sover-eignty is an important factor for the Polish ministry of defence in military procure-ment,” the company said in a statement.

Bumar is already gearing up for new business. The company, which accounts for about half of Poland’s defence industry, is expected to consolidate the rest of the state-owned military sector by the end of the year.

“We will have a single strong Polish de-fence contractor who will be able to take advantage of the situation,” said Krzysztof Krystowski, Bumar’s chief executive. “I am fairly calm as a I know that a lot of projects can’t be done without us.”

The defence shopping list has 13 key pro-grammes, the most expensive of which is building a short-range missile defence sys-tem that will cost anywhere from $5bn to $9bn, dwarfing the $3bn spent on acquir-ing US F-16 fighters – the previous record outlay for the Polish military.

The system will protect Poland against missiles not caught by the US-led missile defence system, which targets medium and long-range rockets. One perceived threat is Russia’s Iskander tactical missile system, which Moscow has threatened to deploy to its Kaliningrad region just north of Poland in response to US missile defence plans.

Three consortiums are reportedly vy-ing for the contract, one of them led by France’s MBDA. Israel’s Rafael with its David’s Sling system and the US Patriot system built by Raytheon are its rivals. “So far it looks as though the Israelis are in the lead,” says one senior defence consultant.

Other big programmes include revamp-ing the navy, which bought its last new ship in 1985, and buying new helicopters, trans-port planes, unmanned aerial “drones”, jet trainers, armoured personnel carriers and modernised tanks.
