Norway’s Kongsberg Group is making one of its largest industrial moves in Central Europe, announcing plans to invest up to **€230 million** in two new defense production facilities in northern Poland. The expansion marks a significant deepening of Norway–Poland defense ties at a time when Europe is rapidly scaling up capabilities across land, air, sea, and counter-drone domains.

According to the company, the investment will fund **two specialized manufacturing sites**:

- **A plant dedicated to anti-drone systems**, an area where demand has surged due to lessons learned from Ukraine and evolving drone threats across NATO’s eastern flank.
- **A facility focused on unmanned maritime platforms**, supporting Europe’s shift toward autonomous naval systems for surveillance, protection of critical infrastructure, and coastal defense.

Kongsberg says the goal is not merely to assemble hardware, but to **build a full local supply chain**, anchoring long-term industrial cooperation inside Poland and integrating Polish subcontractors into its global production ecosystem.

Polish Defense Minister **Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz** welcomed the announcement, calling Norway an *“ironclad ally.”*The move further solidifies Poland as one of Europe’s fastest-growing defense hubs, already attracting major players including **Rheinmetall, MBDA, BAE Systems, Hyundai, and Hanwha Aerospace**.

The project positions northern Poland as a future center for cutting-edge autonomous and counter-drone technologies—industries expected to define Europe’s next decade of defense modernization.
