POZNAN, Poland - Omni3D, a provider of industrial large-format additive manufacturing systems, and the Military Institute of Armament Technology (WITU) have formalized a collaboration to scale the production of the Mosquito 1000 and Mosquito 1600 loitering ammunition platforms. This partnership integrates rapid UAV airframe manufacturing with tactical warheads produced by Belma S.A., creating a modular, Polish-engineered strike solution for modern defense requirements. The systems will debut internationally at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris from June 15-19 at Booth D255.

Distributed Manufacturing for Conflict Zones

Engineered to bypass traditional aerospace manufacturing bottlenecks, the Mosquito family utilizes Omni3D's AQAP 2110 NATO-certified additive systems. Unlike traditional platforms tied to centralized assembly lines, these airframes can be manufactured in a distributed manner via the TFU20 (Tactical Fabrication Unit) project. These power-autonomous containerized factories maintain continuous production directly in theater, ensuring operational continuity under active conflict conditions.

The TFU20 initiative leverages Omni3D's industrial 3D printing solutions to minimize downtime and slash material costs through on-demand engineering services. By moving production to the point of need, defense forces can achieve higher levels of logistics independence.

Advanced Material Engineering

By utilizing Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) printed on the Omni TECH+ platform, the Mosquito airframes achieve a 60% weight reduction compared to conventional structures. This material choice provides high torsional stiffness, allowing the UAV to execute high-G maneuvers and precision targeting strikes with minimal airframe vibration.

The systems have completed aerodynamic computational validation for laminar flow efficiency. Testing confirmed a strike speed of 250 km/h and an operational range of 25 km while maintaining maximum payload stability. These capabilities are supported by Omni3D's NCAGE 9BT1H certified processes, which focus on delivering reliable performance for the defense sector.

Strategic Technical Advantages

The integration of FFF 3D printing into the Mosquito production cycle provides several tactical benefits:

  • Tactical Sovereignty: Localized printing reduces component replacement lead times from weeks to hours.
  • Native Payload Integration: The airframes are designed for seamless compatibility with battle-proven tactical warheads from the PGZ S.A. group.
  • Dual-Mission Profile: The systems are optimized for both low-altitude ground precision strikes and rapid in-flight interception.

Executive Commentary

"The Mosquito project demonstrates the ability to move from research and development to immediate operational readiness for NATO member states," said Pawel Robak, CEO of Omni3D. "By combining additive manufacturing agility with WITU's weaponry expertise, we are delivering a mission-ready platform that can be scaled rapidly. The integration with our containerized TFU20 manufacturing labs means forces can print aerial assets on-site, securing tactical sovereignty when global supply chains fail."
