Metis has been selected to provide its SKYPERION Lightweight passive RF sensor to KONGSBERG to support the Polish SAN counter Uncrewed Air System (cUAS) programme, worth over UPK30 million.
“SKYPERION Lightweight is a highly capable passive RF sensor designed for flexible operational deployment,” said the company in a press release. “The system can be mounted on vehicles for use whilst on the move, rapidly deployed to protect static locations and integrated into maritime environments, providing operators with a highly flexible counter-UAS capability deployable across a wide range of operational scenarios. Already in service with other NATO nations, SKYPERION Lightweight is typically deployed as part of a layered counter-UAS architecture, delivering enhanced situational awareness against UAS in general and particularly tailored to support the detection and identification of nefarious drone threats. This layered approach forms a key part of the SAN cUAS programme, where the sensor will contribute to a broader integrated defence capability.”
Early in 2026, KONSBERG and its consortium partner Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ) announced the over UKP1 billion contract for the Polish SAN cUAS programme to deliver 18 cUAS batteries. The SAN programme covers a wide variety of effectors, including 35 mm, 30 mm and 12.7 mm guns, as well as missiles, interceptor drones and other means to detect and counter a diverse array of aerial threats.
