PIT-RADWAR S.A. is a Polish defence electronics company headquartered in Warsaw. It conducts research, development and production in radar technology, electronic support measures (ESM/ELINT), command-and-control (C2/C4ISR) and related air-defence systems, including sensors and fire-control/effectors.[5][6]

History

  • The company traces its roots to the State Telecommunications Institute established in 1934 by regulation.[2]
  • In April 2010, the Bumar Group created an electronics division integrating Przemysłowy Instytut Telekomunikacji (PIT), CNPEP RADWAR and DOLAM.[7]
  • PIT-RADWAR S.A. was formed on 30 December 2011 by merging PIT, RADWAR and DOLAM; it operated under the PIT name until February 2012 and was renamed Bumar Elektronika S.A. on 5 March 2012.[1][8]
  • On 30 June 2014 the company changed its name to PIT-RADWAR S.A. by court decision.[9]
  • Since 2014, PIT-RADWAR has been part of the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ).[4]

Business areas

PIT-RADWAR’s core activities include:[5][6]

  • air- and surface-surveillance radar systems (mobile and redeployable 3D radars; counter-battery radars; maritime/coastal radars);
  • identification friend-or-foe (IFF/SSR) systems and interrogators (Mark XIIA family);
  • passive surveillance and electronic intelligence (passive location; ELINT/ESM);
  • command-and-control and fire-control systems (C2/C4ISR for air defence and land forces);
  • air-defence fire means (guns/CIWS components and SHORAD/VSHORAD effectors).
