Poland Signs $227 Million Deal for Iceye’s Satellite System

Poland’s armed forces have ordered three satellites from Iceye Oy in a bid to bolster its surveillance and intelligence capabilities amid Russia’s ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The 860-million zloty ($227 million) contract for synthetic-aperture radar satellites that monitor the terrain regardless of the weather conditions includes a ground segment that will be built together with state firm Wojskowe Zaklady Lacznosci 1. The agreement has an option to add more units within the next 12 months, according to a statement.
