PIT-RADWAR with Defender at the end of MSPO 2025

At the end of MSPO 2025, Defender awards were traditionally presented. PIT-RADWAR S.A., which won the award as part of a consortium, was also among the winners.

Our Defender-winning system was SAJNA Radar (RWKO).

SAJNA is designed to detect, indicate, and initially guide fire assets in short-range air defense missile systems, particularly the ZROP-KZ NAREW. It is a multi-role radar with versatile capabilities and applications. It is capable of detecting and tracking typical air threats such as combat aircraft and helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, guided and unguided missiles, short-range ballistic missiles, as well as artillery and mortars.

RWKO can operate in several modes, tailored to the mission at hand. Omnidirectional search modes utilize mechanical antenna rotation and real-time programmable electronic scanning. In sector mode, SAJNA operates with a fixed antenna and electronic scanning across a wide azimuth-elevation sector. These operating modes allow for effective utilization of the radar's potential and optimal selection of search methods for the specific conditions of the deployment area and the functions of detection, tracking, identification, classification, tracking from indication, fire control, and evaluation of their effectiveness.

SAJNA utilizes a number of innovative technical solutions that allow it to achieve all required parameters, in particular: target detection and tracking ranges, including low-flying targets, active and passive interference filtering, accurate target coordinate measurement, high discrimination and reliability, as well as short readiness times and high mobility.

SAJNA is implemented by a consortium composed of PIT-RADWAR S.A. (leader), Military University of Technology, and Warsaw University of Technology.
