Poland drops UAV contract - UPI.com WARSAW, Poland, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Poland is dropping its contract for UAVs from Israel's Aeronautics Defense Systems, claiming company failure to live up to the agreement. The Polish Ministry of Defense said the process for formally terminating the $27.6 million deal, agreed to in February 2010 began last month and that "further delaying the Ministry of Defense's decision would be detrimental to military operations and to the treasury." Under the contract, Aeronautics Defense Systems was to provide two unmanned aerial vehicle systems from Aerostar Aeronautics. Each system would be comprised of four aircraft and two ground control stations. The UAV system, however, was never adopted by the Polish army "because it did not meet all the requirements," the ministry said. The company also didn't follow through on a negotiated temporary solution of providing loaned aircraft system for use by Polish forces in Afghanistan for a one-year period. "The company has once again failed to meet deadlines, in spite of their postponement for two years," the ministry said. Aeronautics was to begin providing ground imagery in Afghanistan, but failed to comply with the agreement. Poland is seeking reimbursement of money paid to the company as well as penalties, the ministry said.
