Poland has been taking several security measures to enhance its defence capabilities after political conflict emerged between the neighbouring Ukraine and Russia.
The new systems are the result of a public tender issued by Nato Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) under the Nato Security Investment Programme (NSIP) to manufacture the air defence radar in Poland and in other allied countries.
Featuring anti-ballistic missile capabilities, FADR is the standard Class I sensor for the Nato long range air defence.
According to the company, the system meets the standards including the full Nato interoperability.
