Two Estonian defense companies have signed cooperation agreements with Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ), aiming to accelerate the development of unmanned systems and counter-drone technologies in Europe.
Milrem Robotics said its agreement with the Polish state-owned group will focus on integrating PGZ equipment into its unmanned ground vehicles, with the goal of improving autonomy and expanding counter-drone capabilities.
The companies will also explore incorporating Milrem’s autonomous technologies into platforms produced by PGZ, as part of efforts to enhance next-generation land systems.
Milrem Robotics CEO Kuldar Väärsi said the partnership is intended to combine autonomous systems expertise with industrial manufacturing capacity to strengthen regional defense capabilities.
Additional cooperation on electronic warfare
Separately, Estonian firm Rantelon announced a cooperation agreement with PGZ subsidiary Cenzin, focused on radio-frequency technologies and counter-drone systems.
Rantelon CEO Karl Taklaja said the companies are already preparing initial projects aimed at bringing Estonian electronic warfare and drone detection technologies into the Polish market.
Rantelon develops systems for cybersecurity, electronic warfare and counter-drone operations, with products already in use domestically and in international markets, including Ukraine.
The agreements reflect growing defense cooperation between European countries as demand rises for unmanned and counter-drone capabilities.
Milrem Robotics has been expanding its footprint in the sector, including a previously announced program to deliver more than 150 THeMIS unmanned ground platforms to Ukraine under an initiative coordinated by the Netherlands.
