Poland, UK to collaborate on new air defense system

Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak has signed an agreement with the United Kingdom to develop a new ground-based air defense system for the Polish military.

The partnership will allow the countries to share pioneering technology for the future Narew air defense system, providing both nations with enhanced defense capabilities while sustaining critical skills across the missile sector.

The Narew program will include the Common Anti-air Modular Missile (CAMM) developed by European arms manufacturer MBDA. The missile system is capable of supersonic speeds to destroy various air-based threats such as stealth aircraft and high-speed missiles.
