Flytronic

Flytronic S.A. is based in Gliwice and was founded on 1 February 2008. Since December 2009 WB Electronics S.A. has been its majority shareholder, and the company has since acted as the research and development centre for unmanned observation and reconnaissance systems within WB Group.

Its work covers the design and production of unmanned aerial platforms and observation heads as well as flight control and data transmission systems. Products listed by the company include the FlyEye unmanned aircraft system, the twin-engine FT5 system, which can carry electro-optical heads, COMINT/ELINT sensors, contamination detectors or armament, the NSK mobile flight control station and the FTR-1 frequency-hopping radio link.

According to the company, FlyEye has been introduced into service with the Polish Armed Forces, the Polish Border Guard, other uniformed services and users in other countries. Flytronic also takes part in JERZYK, a project funded by Poland’s National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) to develop a prototype of a mobile, multi-layer system for countering mini and micro unmanned aircraft together with a simulation-based training system.
