It is specified that the radars will be used to monitor the Baltic coast and the border with the Kaliningrad region of Russia. The system will also operate in the area of the "Eastern Shield" — at the protective structures on the eastern border of Poland.

The contract value is 430 million Polish zloty, or 118.5 million dollars. Deliveries will be carried out from 2027 to 2030.
