The memorandum of understanding signed also included a wider strategic plan to co-develop autonomous air systems for the Polish Armed Forces.
Anduril has signed a strategic agreement with the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) to jointly develop and produce autonomous air systems and potentially work on a Polish variant of Anduril’s Barracuda 500-M for the Polish Armed Forces.
According to PGZ, the agreement could pave the way for technology transfer, equipment development and joint research and development, creating highly-skilled jobs and boosting the country’s industrial base.
