AUTOMINA / DOB-PERUN-1-A-179-2023: Development milestone in Poland

Development and reported outcome

On 2-Jan-26, Łukasiewicz-PIAP and programme partners unveiled, upgraded or advanced AUTOMINA autonomous mine-laying / reconnaissance UGV under AUTOMINA / DOB-PERUN-1-A-179-2023, targeting Polish Armed Forces.

Reporting limitation: the milestone is treated as product/technology maturation unless a separate customer order is disclosed.[S1]

Program, platform and stakeholders

Programme or contract: AUTOMINA / DOB-PERUN-1-A-179-2023. Platform or product: AUTOMINA autonomous mine-laying / reconnaissance UGV. Recorded supplier, developer or relevant organization: Łukasiewicz-PIAP and programme partners (reported headquarters/country: Poland). Recorded customer, operator or intended user: Polish Armed Forces (reported headquarters/country: Poland).[S1]

Mission and technical scope

The following are classifications recorded in the source master, not additional claims of operational deployment: Mission/use-case classification: Autonomous mine laying; terrain reconnaissance; military engineering. Operating mode: Autonomous / Remotely Operated.

Contract, value and shipment signals

Recorded quantity, delivery, demonstration or volume signal: Prototype programme; quantity not disclosed. Delivery schedule, procurement window or milestone status: Programme active in 2026.[S1]

Source verification and interpretation limits

UXV Searcher master source-coverage note: Distinct PERUN-family development programme; retained separately from later demonstrations.

Interpretation boundary: A development milestone does not by itself establish completion, acceptance or fleet induction.[S1]

UXV Searcher analysis — what the development changes

UXV Searcher interpretation — product or engineering development: The Poland UGV record for AUTOMINA / DOB-PERUN-1-A-179-2023 is best treated as a technical progression signal. The record documents a capability step or integration scope, not proof of mass production or repeatable sales.

Traceability for buyers: The dataset associates Łukasiewicz-PIAP and programme partners with Polish Armed Forces for AUTOMINA autonomous mine-laying / reconnaissance UGV. This supports stakeholder mapping; supply-chain tier, exclusivity and signed-customer relationships need the underlying source before firm classification.

Client-use interpretation: For intelligence users tracking Autonomous mine laying; terrain reconnaissance; military engineering, the relevant next proof points are subsea payload integration, safety controls and verified Navy programme acceptance. Watch for successful acceptance testing, commercial availability, customer commitments and quantified deliveries.[S1]

Quantitative evidence, calculations and limits

Quantity/scope signal: Prototype programme; quantity not disclosed. Counting rule: Scope or component count; not a count of procured or delivered unmanned platforms. Delivery/timing evidence: Programme active in 2026. Scheduling language is not independently proof of completion or acceptance.

Keep reported, derived and prospective quantities separate; do not convert activity into installed-base counts without a shipment or acceptance source.[S1]
