Poland’s 360-degree Patriot radars move closer to fielding

Poland's planned 360-degree Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor radars moved closer to deployment after a US government request for pricing on production support equipment for Raytheon's LTAMDS. The radar uses a principal active electronically scanned array and two additional arrays to provide all-round coverage, replacing the older Patriot radar's narrower surveillance sector. The procurement activity supports Poland's Wisła Phase 2 air-defence programme, whose first associated batteries are scheduled for delivery during 2026 and 2027. The request for proposals concerns supporting equipment and should not be mistaken for evidence that all LTAMDS radars have been delivered or declared operational.
