On July 21, 2026, Interior Minister Marcin Kierwi\u0144ski signed an agreement to allocate 2.8 billion PLN from the National Recovery Plan to build a sovereign Polish satellite constellation for secure communications. <\/p>\n
To counter hybrid threats and secure strategic communications, Poland is officially joining the European IRIS2 satellite constellation project. The agreement, signed with the European Commission, commits 2.8 billion PLN (656 million euros) to finance the construction and orbital deployment of over a dozen satellites.<\/p>\n
This initiative aims to create a Polish satellite dome, ensuring the resilience of national communication infrastructure against potential crises or armed conflict. The IRIS2 (Infrastructure for Resilience, Interconnection and Security by Satellites) system is a flagship EU project designed to provide member states with independence from commercial and foreign satellite providers.<\/p>\n
The satellites will be integrated into the communication systems of Polish law enforcement and government agencies. Minister Kierwi\u0144ski confirmed that a secure, encrypted data channel will be provided to the Police, State Fire Service, and Border Guard.<\/p>\n
This satellite infrastructure is critical for emergency situations, including natural disasters and cellular network failures, where traditional communications are vulnerable to jamming or destruction. It is intended to bolster national crisis management systems and ensure administrative continuity.<\/p>\n
The project includes provisions for the domestic high-tech industry to participate in executive contracts associated with the IRIS2 program. Polish entities in the space and telecommunications sectors will be eligible to supply components, software, and the necessary ground infrastructure.<\/p>\n
This investment represents one of the largest digital security and critical infrastructure projects in Poland funded by the European Union. It positions Poland as a significant contributor to the European space industry and core EU security initiatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
