Dęblin to train FlyEye operators. Polish Air Force University accredited by WB Group

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Personnel Training Centre of the Polish Air Force University (Lotnicza Akademia Wojskowa, LAW) in Dęblin has been accredited by WB Group. The certificate confirms that the centre meets the manufacturer's standards for unmanned systems and is qualified to deliver specialist training for operators of FlyEye, one of the most widely used Polish reconnaissance systems.

An audit covering everything from curriculum to instructors

The accreditation was preceded by a comprehensive verification process covering the training programme, the organisation of teaching, infrastructure, technical equipment and the qualifications of the centre's instructor staff. The successful completion of the procedure confirmed that the Dęblin facility is prepared to conduct specialist training in line with WB Group standards.

Speaking at the accreditation ceremony, Jarosław Czajka, director of WB Group's unmanned systems programme, welcomed the certification of the Polish Air Force University, describing it as an important step in strengthening national training competencies and preparing operators of one of the most proven Polish reconnaissance systems.

Sixteen years of FlyEye in service

The FlyEye unmanned system was developed by engineers at Flytronic, WB Group's competence centre for aerial systems. It has been in service with the Polish Armed Forces and foreign users for sixteen years. Experience gained during its operational use feeds not only into the further development of the system itself, but also into the refinement of operator training - and it is precisely the quality of that training that determines how effectively unmanned reconnaissance systems are employed.

Manufacturer and university join forces

The accreditation marks another stage in the cooperation between WB Group and the Polish Air Force University, confirming both parties' commitment to developing a modern training system for unmanned systems personnel. Combining the manufacturer's experience with the university's teaching potential strengthens Poland's national competencies in the operation and use of aerial unmanned vehicles.

The move reflects a broader trend. As the number of unmanned systems in the Polish military grows, the bottleneck is increasingly not the equipment but trained operators. A certified academic centre working to the manufacturer's standards shortens the path from procurement to genuine operational capability - and builds competencies that stay in the country.
