UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEM (SMALL TYPE)

The contract, titled 'UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEM (SMALL TYPE)', was awarded by Lithuania's Defence Resources Agency (Gynybos resursų agentūra prie Krašto apsaugos ministerijos) for approximately 12.2 million EUR to Poland's Advanced Protection Systems SA (APS) to supply stationary anti-drone (C-UAS) systems designed to detect and neutralize small unmanned aerial vehicles using radars, RF detectors, optical/IR sensors, electronic warfare, kinetic solutions, and GPS jamming. These systems protect strategic energy facilities, funded by energy companies at the Ministry of Energy's request, and will integrate into Lithuania's broader air defense network during aggression for enhanced critical infrastructure security amid rising drone threats. The procurement followed legal standards with three bidders, selecting APS for meeting technical specs.
