L3Harris has been selected to support the Polish Navy’s operational capabilities and maritime defense with a ship management system for the new Miecznik-class frigates.

PGZ Stocznia Wojenna, the state-owned shipyard, selected L3Harris’ Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) to enhance ship performance, reliability and safety.

The Miecznik frigates, based on the Arrowhead 140 ship design by Babcock International, will modernize the Polish Navy and enhance its operational capabilities. L3Harris’ IPMS will optimize situational awareness, operational efficiency and safety for these next-generation warships.

“Miecznik-class frigates, powered by L3Harris’ IPMS, represent the future of maritime defence, providing Poland with superior combat power and a strategic edge in regional waters,” said Nino DiCosmo, President, Maritime, Space & Mission Systems, L3Harris.

“Our next-generation solution strengthens Poland’s defence industrial capabilities while enabling the fleet to extend operational range and endurance.”

L3Harris’ IPMS incorporates functionalities and capabilities derived from years of working with partners such as the Royal Navy, Royal Netherlands Navy, Royal Australian Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy.

Since its inception, the company has delivered it to nearly 300 vessels in 28 navies around the world.

To remind, last month, PGZ started the construction of the third and final Miecznik frigate, Huragan.
