Frankenburg Technologies and Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa signed a partnership on March 27, 2026, to produce the Mark I air defence missile system in Poland, aiming to cost-effectively counter drone threats with annual production capacity up to 10,000 missiles.
On March 27, 2026, Frankenburg Technologies and Poland's state defence holding, Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ), signed a framework agreement marking a long-term cooperation to develop and produce modern defence solutions, focusing on counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS). The agreement includes localizing production in Poland of the Mark I missile system, designed for very short-range air defence against unmanned aerial vehicles, with a planned production facility capable of producing up to 10,000 missiles per year. The partnership also prepares groundwork for future systems like Mark II, targeting extended coverage of 5–8 kilometers to strengthen layered air defense. Senior officials highlighted that the cooperation addresses lessons from the war in Ukraine emphasizing the economic and operational need for cost-appropriate air defence against mass drone attacks. This collaboration is expected to enhance Poland's defense industrial base and offers potential access to European funding via SAFE and incorporation into the SAN programme. Frankenburg Technologies, founded in 2024 and headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, specializes in affordable, mass-manufacturable missile systems with the Mark I as a compact precision-guided interceptor developed and delivered rapidly to reduce short-range intercept costs significantly.
