Wojskowa Akademia Techniczna (WAT) contracted one unmanned underwater vehicle for hull inspection and sampling on 10 September 2026, for 952,383 zlotys. The purchase was one of several single-unit buys of underwater robots in European public notices between 5 September and 7 October, alongside a very small robot submarine for Tallinn University of Technology.
WAT, the Military University of Technology, is a university in Warsaw founded in 1951 and supervised by Poland's Minister of National Defence. It educates nearly 10,000 students and conducts research for the Polish armed forces.
As the armed forces' own technical university, WAT buys equipment for research and teaching rather than for front-line service. The underwater vehicle gives its engineers a working platform for the two tasks named in the contract: inspecting hulls and taking samples.
