ICEYE will deliver SAR satellites to the Polish Armed Forces under a €200 million agreement signed on May 14, 2025, enhancing Poland’s ISR capabilities.
ICEYE finalized a significant agreement with Poland's Ministry of National Defence on May 14, 2025, to supply Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites for the Polish Armed Forces' MikroSAR program. The initial contract includes several ICEYE SAR satellites with an option for three more as well as additional ground systems. Valued at around €200 million, this program will enhance Poland's military reconnaissance and continuous monitoring capabilities globally and locally near conflict zones via mobile ISR platforms. ICEYE's advanced SAR technology is designed to provide reliable earth observations through all weather and lighting conditions, ensuring readiness and rapid decision-making. The agreement reflects Poland’s strategic priority to strengthen defense capabilities and intelligence through cutting-edge satellite technologies, with ICEYE collaborating with Polish industry partners. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz highlighted the dual economic and national security benefits of the deal.
Confidence: High
The event describes a formal defense procurement agreement where ICEYE is supplying SAR reconnaissance satellites to the Polish military to enhance ISR capabilities, clearly indicating defense preparation without hostile aggressor activity.
