Poland has finalized a $410 million defense export contract with Türkiye’s ASELSAN for advanced electronic warfare (EW) systems, reinforcing Warsaw’s ongoing military modernization efforts. Reported by Turkish News Agency TRT, the agreement reflects Poland’s growing focus on electronic reconnaissance, jamming, and counter-drone capabilities, areas increasingly viewed as critical to countering hybrid and asymmetric threats. The contract was unveiled alongside several complementary defense deals, underscoring Poland’s push toward a fully integrated multi-domain defense architecture spanning air, land, maritime, cyber, and electromagnetic domains.
ASELSAN confirmed the deal through a notification to Türkiye’s Public Disclosure Platform, stating that the export agreement covers the delivery of sophisticated EW solutions and that the signing ceremony received broad attention in Polish media. Türkiye’s President of the Presidency of Defence Industries, Haluk Görgün, described the contract as one of the largest electronic warfare programs in Europe, with a value exceeding $400 million. Görgün also indicated that another Turkish defense firm was expected to announce an even larger European contract in the following week, highlighting Türkiye’s expanding footprint in NATO defense markets.
From Poland’s perspective, the Ministry of National Defence (MoD) framed the ASELSAN deal as part of a three-contract package signed in Warsaw, attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. The system to be delivered—described as a Zautomatyzowany System Rozpoznawczo Zakłócający—will provide automated reconnaissance and jamming functions tailored to counter-UAS missions, including radio-frequency disruption designed to neutralize hostile drones. Polish officials said the capability represents the first step in a broader SAN counter-drone air defense program, with final negotiations ongoing for additional system integration under the Armament Agency.
