ongoing cooperation with PGZ<\/a> on an Earth observation system for the Polish Armed Forces. The Finnish company has delivered synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites to the country\u2019s military under its MikroSAR program. The system is designed as the first component of the military space capabilities toolkit Warsaw plans to develop in the coming years. The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine has fueled Poland\u2019s efforts to ramp up its reconnaissance ability.<\/p>\n\u201cThe cooperation is to draw on the experience gained through the MikroSAR program and is to include the development of a space segment based on a distributed architecture, the development of domestic ground infrastructure, and the establishment of industrial capabilities enabling the system to be independently developed and maintained in Poland,\u201d PGZ said.<\/p>\n
The Finnish manufacturer said in a statement that its collaboration with the Polish group is to be based on the partners\u2019 complementary roles.<\/p>\n
\u201cICEYE will act as the technology partner, while PGZ will contribute its industrial and organizational capabilities,\u201d the space company said. \u201cICEYE will be responsible for developing the satellite system architecture, designing and manufacturing the space platforms, and conducting satellite operations. PGZ\u2019s role will be to organize the program\u2019s domestic industrial base by identifying the group\u2019s companies that will contribute their production capabilities, expertise and technical infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n
