The Future of Polish Forces

The Polish military presents the technology of the future at MSPO. The "Modern Armed Forces create a strong and secure future" is the motto of the 26th Armed Forces Exhibition, which accompanies the 33rd International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce. This year's exhibition by the Armed Forces Support Inspectorate is the largest demonstration of the potential of the Polish Armed Forces in the country, combining technology, education and operational readiness on an unprecedented scale

Several dozen units of the Polish Army will be present on nearly 10,000 m² of exhibition space, including the General Command of the Armed Forces, the newly established Inspectorate of Unmanned Weapon Systems, military universities, the gendarmerie, and research and implementation centers. In the temporary expo hall, No. 9, and in the outdoor area, visitors can not only see the latest military equipment but also participate in demonstrations and simulations using VR technology, as well as modern training systems presented by the Military University of Land Forces and the Military University of Technology.

Land, air and naval forces – on full alert

The exhibition of the Operational Command of the Branches of the Armed Forces will be divided thematically into four days, each devoted to a different operational domain: land (September 2), air (September 3), sea (September 4), and foreign missions (September 5). Visitors can see the individual equipment of soldiers of the 5th Infantry Division Command Regiment from Kraków, to name a few, and thus familiarize themselves with the tasks of the Air Operations Centre in Warsaw and participate in a presentation of specialized training in battlefield medicine conducted by sailors from Gdynia

Drones, Cyberspace, and Military Medical Services

The exhibition also highlights the dynamic development of new military domains; the Unmanned Weapons Systems Inspectorate presents the Bayraktar TB2, Fly Eye, HUGIN, and RQ-21A autonomous vehicles.  The Command of the Cyberspace Defense Forces Component prepared a demonstration of modern BMS LEGION command systems, the SOKÓŁ mobile probe, and the 5G network.

The Department of Military Health Service will present the latest technologies supporting prevention and rehabilitation – including a mock-up of a g-force centrifuge and the SumuLBNP simulator. A new feature will be stations offering dietary advice and manual therapy.

Heavy military equipment will be deployed along Expo Halls 9 and 2, including PILICA and POPRAD anti-aircraft systems, mobile command modules, BAOBAB mine-laying vehicles, MS-20 bridges, and APIS-2 container decontamination kits. There will also be heavy equipment such as tanks and wheeled armored personnel carriers.

The Cyberspace Defence Force Component Command will present new crisis management capabilities through BMS LEGION software, which interoperates with HMS JASMINE and other software.

Strong today, ready for the future

The 26th Armed Forces Exhibition is not only a presentation of equipment and procedures – it is also a symbol of the transformation of the Polish Army towards a modern, network-centric formation capable of operating in a multi-dimensional combat environment.  MSPO will once again show that the strength of the Polish Army is not only tradition, but above all, competence and readiness to act in the future dimension of national security.
