The agreement marks a significant step toward expanding Poland’s capabilities in the design and production of cost-effective, scalable precision weapons. Under the partnership, PGZ companies will participate in the development and production of the Barracuda platform, strengthening Poland’s defense industrial base, advancing national competencies in artificial intelligence, and creating new high-skilled jobs.

- Today’s agreement is another step toward the development of Poland’s defense industry. By combining PGZ’s industrial potential with Anduril’s expertise in autonomous systems, we can deliver a solution that meets the operational needs of our armed forces. The partnership paves the way for technology transfer, joint R&D, and equipment development, enhancing the security of Poland and the entire eastern flank of NATO, said Adam Leszkiewicz, President of the Management Board of PGZ S.A.

- Poland is a key strategic partner for Anduril. Our cooperation with PGZ on the localization of Barracuda missile production demonstrates how allied industries and sovereign suppliers can deliver scalable, cost-effective deterrent capabilities, added Brian Moran, Vice President of Anduril Europe.

The Barracuda family of autonomous aerial vehicles and cruise missiles has been designed for high-volume production. Its modular and autonomous architecture allows for multiple payloads and targeting configurations, making it a flexible and cost-efficient system suited for large-scale defense operations. The system’s low unit cost and adaptability will help Poland and other European nations respond effectively to evolving missile threats.

The joint development activities will be carried out in close coordination with the governments of Poland and the United States to ensure full compliance with applicable export and trade regulations.
