Contract, value and shipment signals

Original reported amount or scope: PLN 27.57 million project budget; PLN 26.93 million funding. Original-currency label: PLN. Recorded quantity, delivery, demonstration or volume signal: R&D programme; prototype quantity not disclosed. Delivery schedule, procurement window or milestone status: Development active in 2026.[S1]

Source verification and interpretation limits

UXV Searcher master source-coverage note: Active R&D programme milestone restored. It is not a 2026 tender; procurement/funding KPIs should treat the programme family once.

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 SHIBA II / DOB-PERUN-1-A-062-2023 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 WITI / AMZ-KUTNO / WITPiS / Łukasiewicz-PIMOT / Łukasiewicz-PIAP with Polish Armed Forces for SHIBA II. 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 Mine clearance; IED disposal; engineering support; autonomous navigation, the relevant next proof points are mine-warfare mission suitability, payload integration and acceptance milestones. Watch for successful acceptance testing, commercial availability, customer commitments and quantified deliveries.[S1]

Quantitative evidence, calculations and limits

Financial signal (master transcription): PLN 27.57 million project budget; PLN 26.93 million funding. Classification: Tender estimate, ceiling or budget, not necessarily an awarded or paid amount. Quantity/scope signal: R&D programme; prototype quantity not disclosed. Counting rule: Scope or component count; not a count of procured or delivered unmanned platforms. Delivery/timing evidence: Development 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]
