波兰华沙——挪威公司孔斯伯格已决定在波兰北部新建一座反无人机系统生产设施,计划投资超过2亿兹罗提(约合5100万美元)。

WARSAW, Poland — Norway’s Kongsberg has decided to build a new production facility for counter-drone systems in northern Poland, with plans to invest more than 200 million zloty ($51 million) in the plant.

此次投资与公司与波兰国有国防集团PGZ的合作相关,双方将共同向波兰军队交付San反无人机系统。

The investment is connected to the company’s cooperation with Polish state-run defense group PGZ to deliver the San anti-drone system to the Polish military.

“我们已在波兰开展业务多年。我们认为在波兰建立本地基地非常重要,”孔斯伯格总裁兼首席执行官Eirik Lie在10月12日于华沙安全论坛上接受《国防新闻》采访时说道。“San项目的交付进展顺利,同时我们也期待出口合同,因此这座工厂能让我们从波兰出发,更好地应对出口需求。”

“We have been present in Poland for many years. We think it’s important that we establish local sites in Poland,” Eirik Lie, the president and CEO of Kongsberg, told Defense News at the Warsaw Security Forum here on Oct. 12. “We are on good track for deliveries on the San program. But also, we expect export contracts, so this enables us to be prepared for these exports from Poland.”

根据波兰国防部公布的数据,San项目总价值约150亿兹罗提(约合38亿美元),孔斯伯格与PGZ将向波兰军队提供18套反无人机电池、52个发射排、18个指挥排以及703辆车辆。该合同主要由波兰通过欧盟“欧洲安全行动”(SAFE)计划获得的贷款资助。

Under the San deal, valued at around PLN 15 billion ($3.8 billion), Kongsberg and PGZ are to supply 18 anti-drone batteries, 52 firing platoons, 18 command platoons, and 703 vehicles to the Polish military, according to data from Poland’s Ministry of National Defence. The contract will be largely financed by loans that Poland has secured from the European Union’s Security Action For Europe (SAFE) scheme.

鉴于整个地区对无人机入侵的担忧,Lie表示,孔斯伯格预计未来几年其解决方案的需求将显著增长。未来,这座波兰工厂还可能引入更多防御性产品。

Given the region-wide concern over drone incursions, Lie said Kongsberg expects the demand for its solutions to rise significantly in the coming years. In the future, the envisioned Polish factory could also introduce additional defense solutions to its portfolio.

“作为一家公司,我们正在快速扩张。我们希望以这座工厂为基础,进一步拓展其他产品线,”这位首席执行官说道。

“As a company, we are expanding quite a lot. We want to build on this factory for other elements as well,” the CEO said.

挪威公司在一份声明中表示,计划于2026年底签署施工合同,并立即开始建设。反无人机系统的批量生产预计将于2028年上半年启动。待工厂全面达产后,预计将在波兰创造超过100个就业岗位。

In a statement, the Norwegian group said it plans to sign a construction contract by the end of 2026 and begin work immediately afterward. Serial production of counter-drone systems could begin in the first half of 2028. The investment is expected to create more than 100 jobs in Poland once the plant reaches full capacity.
