The NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) and Baykar have officially signed a major contract to enhance Poland’s military capabilities by providing comprehensive logistics and service support for the Bayraktar TB2 unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) fleet.
The signing ceremony, held in Istanbul, marks a significant milestone in strengthening defense cooperation between NATO and Poland.
Signed in coordination with the Polish Armed Forces Support Inspectorate (AFSI), the contract ensures the maintenance, operability, and availability of Poland’s Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs. It covers a three-year period, with an option for a two-year extension, highlighting the long-term support commitment from both parties.
As Poland continues its expansion of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), this contract will play a vital role in sustaining these capabilities.
Speaking at the ceremony, representatives from NSPA and Baykar expressed enthusiasm about the growing partnership and reaffirmed their commitment to increasing the operational readiness of the Polish Armed Forces.
“This framework agreement supports a key element of Poland’s defense modernization strategy. It is also designed to extend the framework to other Bayraktar TB2 user countries as needed,” said Stacy Cummings, NSPA General Manager.
The contract is a crucial step in NATO’s efforts to bolster its eastern flank and enhance collective defense capabilities within the Alliance.
