Poland has seen developments in both domestic defense technology and regional security monitoring. A consortium involving PIT-Radwar and various technical universities received an award for the development of the Sajna multi-function fire control radar, intended for Narew short-range anti-aircraft missile systems. Additionally, Saab secured a contract to provide technical support for laser battlefield simulation systems at five Polish combat training centers through 2028.

In the context of regional surveillance, NATO aircraft have been active in Polish airspace. The Boeing E-3A Sentry AWACS conducted monitoring missions over the Wielkopolska region, while the British RC-135W Rivet Joint performed electronic and signal intelligence operations near the eastern border, patrolling areas close to Ukraine and Belarus.
