PERUN – TROJAN: Research grant in Poland

Development and reported outcome

NCBR announced on May 29 that TROJAN had been selected for funding within the PERUN defense R&D program. TROJAN is led by the Polish Naval Academy and will develop an unmanned surface platform able to carry airborne and underwater sensors for monitoring threats to critical maritime infrastructure. This row records only the selection/ranking milestone; the signed PLN 37,906,642 funding agreement is recorded separately on July 23.[S1] [S2]

Program, platform and stakeholders

Programme or contract: PERUN – TROJAN. Platform or product: TROJAN unmanned surface platform for airborne and underwater sensors. Recorded supplier, developer or relevant organization: NCBR / Polish Naval Academy-led consortium (reported headquarters/country: Poland). Recorded customer, operator or intended user: Polish Armed Forces / critical-maritime-infrastructure protection capability (reported headquarters/country: Poland).[S1] [S2]

Mission and technical scope

The following are classifications recorded in the source master, not additional claims of operational deployment: Mission/use-case classification: Maritime ISR / MDA; Critical Infrastructure Protection.

Contract, value and shipment signals

The master does not contain a dependable disclosed contract amount, shipment quantity or delivery schedule for this development. These should not be assumed to be zero.[S1] [S2]

Source verification and interpretation limits

UXV Searcher master source-coverage note: NCBR confirms TROJAN was selected for funding on May 29. This row is a ranking/selection milestone, so the later signed funding amount is not recorded here; the PLN 37,906,642 funding agreement remains in the separate Jul. 23 lifecycle row.[S1] [S2]

UXV Searcher analysis — what the development changes

UXV Searcher interpretation — funding / financing milestone: The Poland USV record for PERUN – TROJAN is best treated as a financing capacity signal. Funding strengthens an organisation or development programme, but should not be added to vehicle sales, procurement awards, or realised deliveries.

Traceability for buyers: The dataset associates NCBR / Polish Naval Academy-led consortium with Polish Armed Forces / critical-maritime-infrastructure protection capability for TROJAN unmanned surface platform for airborne and underwater sensors. 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 Maritime ISR / MDA; Critical Infrastructure Protection, the relevant next proof points are maritime awareness persistence, sensors and communications interoperability. Look for specific funded milestones, demonstrators, procurement contracts and independently reported output before modelling market volumes.[S1] [S2]

Quantitative evidence, calculations and limits

Quantification limit: No sufficiently attributed contract value or physical platform count is disclosed for this record. UXV Searcher leaves these fields unavailable rather than treating non-disclosure as zero or applying an unsupported market average.

The useful output is a qualitative stage and stakeholder signal, not a numerical forecast.[S1] [S2]
