The Polish company PIT-RADWAR presented the concept of a new short-range air defense system. It is stated that the system will be able to hit all types of air targets, including attack helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, barrage ammunition and cruise missiles.

In the presented concept, a rather interesting novelty is two options for installing a 35-mm anti-aircraft gun.

One of them is the AG - 35 gun mounted on the standard chassis of the Jelcz P662D.43 truck with a 6×6 wheel formula used by the Polish armed forces. In this version, the installation has much greater mobility and a shorter transition time from the marching position to the combat position.

In the second version, the gun is mounted on a wheeled Rosomak armored personnel carrier in an armored turret. There is no detailed information about this version and the progress of work on it. Visually, it is very similar to naval air defense systems and with a high degree of probability it can be assumed that it uses solutions developed for the OSU-35K system, designed to be installed on two minesweepers under construction - Projects 258 (Kormoran II), ORP Albatros and ORP Mewa.

Both versions of the anti-aircraft artillery systems are armed with a Polish-made 35 mm KDA cannon, capable of firing programmable ammunition, which is considered particularly effective when dealing with small aerial objects such as UAVs. At the same time, the possibility of using sub-caliber ammunition has been preserved, which is an effective means of combating not only classic means of air attack, but also unarmored and lightly armored ground and surface targets.

The concept of the air defense system is also represented SAM Poprad already available in the units of the Polish army, armed with 4 missiles Grom and Piorun, the latter of which is capable of hitting targets at a distance of 6.5 km and at altitudes up to 4 km. Poprad was introduced as an integrated BSP system consisting of an EW module and a small tracking radar. This solution was developed and provided by Advanced Protection Systems.

In the presented system, the detection, tracking and identification of targets is carried out by Soła and Bystra radar stations, as well as passive optoelectronic systems installed both on anti-aircraft installations and in the WG-35 fire control system (SLM), located on a Zhubr wheeled vehicle.

The WG-35 is equipped with an optoelectronic unit with a hydraulic drive, which is a further development of the system used in the upgraded WD-95 control vehicles of the BLENDA anti-aircraft systems. The unit is equipped with a thermal imaging camera, a daylight camera, a high-frequency laser rangefinder and a friend-or-foe interrogator. The WG-35 vehicle base has also been adapted for the installation of a state-of-the-art tracking radar developed by PIT-RADWAR that can detect and track targets in all weather conditions.

The WG-35 fire control system is adapted to control a mixed battery equipped with anti-aircraft artillery systems, as well as Poprad or Pilica air defense systems.
