08 Feb 15. Poprad SAM system ordered by Poland. The Polish Army plans to procure 77 indigenous Poprad surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems at a total cost of about PLN700m (USD227m). Designed by the Warsaw PIT-Radwar plant of the Polish Arms Group (PGZ), Poprad will integrate the Grom launcher and SAM (and those of the upgraded Piorun system) with the 50km-range Sola mobile tactical radar and an IFF system. A four-round Telesystem-Mesko Grom launcher and an onboard fire-control computer will be installed on the AMZ Kutno Zubr P armoured vehicle.
The system is capable of automated operation, using the radar inputs to cue and direct the Grom’s electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor which can start tracking a target at 6-10 km range. (Source: IHS Jane’s)
