By 2039, the Navy of the Republic of Poland is expected to receive respective fresh submarines of different classes. Among them will be 4 multitasking corvettes. Nevertheless, the next fresh construction program will be for 2 hydrographic vessels. Apart from manned units, the Polish war fleet will besides strengthen unmanned systems.

The Navy of the Republic of Poland presented plans to get fresh ships in the position of 2039. 4 multitasking corvettes will be ordered in the next decade. As stressed by the commander of the Centre for Maritime Operations – Command of the Marine Component by defects. Krzysztof Jaworski, smaller, cheaper to build and operate than frigate units are very needed, due to the fact that the situation in the Baltic Sea requires the constant presence of our marine forces on the watershed.

Prior to that, it was planned to replace 3 Orkan-type missiles with units of the same class. However, it was considered that corvettes, larger and with stronger weapons, including to combat submarines and aircraft, would be a better solution. Another reason for the change was the experience of sailors, which shows that the weather conditions (wind, advanced waves) prevailing in the Baltic powerfully impede the operation of tiny ships.

RECLAMA

In addition, it changed its codename from “Murena” to “Ostrosz”. It refers to the most venomous fish surviving in European waters, besides known as the sharp drakon, although it does not happen very many in the Baltic.

New units with SAFE

However, before the multi-tasking corvette program is launched, another projects for the construction of fresh ships will begin. During the Defence24 Days conference, the Deputy Head of the Board of Armed Forces at the Naval Inspectorate in the General Command of Types of Armed Forces, Mr. Grzegorz Mucha, will power 2 fresh hydrographic units by the end of 2030. In this case, it has already been noted that their construction will be financed by loans received under the SAFE instrument. There are besides 2 fresh oil tankers and a logistics support ship. According to military logistics units capable of supplying another ships at sea are essential in the event of war, replenishment of fuel, ammunition and another supplies in ports increases the hazard of attacking and destroying them.

Another ship's programme to be completed by 2039 concerns the construction of 5 fresh transport and mine vessels. They will replace the Lublin kind unit. On 5 of his own ships, the flag was raised between 1989 and 1991, so they surely request successors.

Unmanned besides desirable

In the case of ship-based programmes, it is possible to plan in advance. This is not possible erstwhile it comes to unmanned systems, as advancement in this area is very rapid. According to kmdr Jarosław Iwańczuk of the Inspectorate of Unmanned Armed Systems DGRSZ, the most urgent operational needs in this area have already been identified. He pointed out that the Polish naval forces will be visited by unmanned people for the mission of intelligence, reflection and reconnaissance, i.e. ISR, as well as shock and multitasking. Military officials stressed that drones would support our fresh ships in the future.
