| PROJECT INFORMATION | The HQ presents a modern, understated Polish modernist aesthetic, blending security, prestige, and functionality. The Main HQ building rises 10 stories with a limestone and light-ceramic façade, accented by vertical fins that subtly evoke the winged hussar motif. Its feature lobby opens onto a landscaped Flag Court with a shallow reflecting pool doubling as a vehicle standoff zone. Connected via controlled glass bridges, the Showroom & Demo Pavilion features high-bay, glass-walled exhibition spaces for armored vehicles, UAVs, and other defense systems, while exterior hardstands allow for static displays. The Secure Programs & Engineering Wing is a discreet, reinforced structure with shielded windows and SCIF-level access, conveying capability without ostentation. The Training & Conference Center is a three-story block with glazed entrances and secure internal circulation, while underground sections house the Operations & Security Command, EMP-hardened and fully shielded. Landscape elements, including tree-lined buffer zones and subtle water features, create visual separation from public roads while emphasizing approach sequences for visiting delegations. Location Bemowo, Warsaw – Adjacent to Warsaw–Babice Airport (EPBC) for VIP and helicopter access, rapid secure road links to MoD and city center.
