en.Wedoany.com Reported - Omni3D, a Polish supplier of large-format industrial additive manufacturing systems, has partnered with the Military Institute of Armament Technology (WITU), Poland's leading national armament and military technology R&D center, to scale up production of the Mosquito 1000 and Mosquito 1600 loitering munition platforms. The collaboration also brings in Belma S.A., which provides tactical warheads integrated into the airframe, and PGZ S.A., which supplies combat-ready munitions natively compatible with the Mosquito system, forming a strike solution entirely engineered in Poland.
At the core of the initiative is the TFU20 (Tactical Fabrication Unit), a self-powered containerized manufacturing system centered on Omni3D's AQAP 2110 NATO-certified additive equipment. Instead of relying on centralized assembly infrastructure, the TFU20 deploys production directly to the theater of operations, enabling defense forces to manufacture and replace airframe components on-site. Under this model, component replacement cycles that previously took weeks via traditional supply chains are reduced to hours.
The Mosquito airframe is printed using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) on Omni3D's Omni TECH+ platform. Compared to conventional airframe structures, this material reduces weight by 60% while maintaining high torsional stiffness. Omni3D states that aerodynamic calculations for laminar flow efficiency have confirmed a strike speed of 250 km/h, an operational radius of 25 km, and stable payload delivery throughout the mission. The system is configured for low-altitude precision ground strikes and rapid aerial interception missions.
Omni3D CEO Paweł Robak stated that the Mosquito project demonstrates the ability of NATO member states to move from R&D to immediate combat readiness. By combining the agility of additive manufacturing with WITU's weapons expertise, they are delivering a rapidly scalable combat-ready platform. Integrated with the containerized TFU20 fabrication lab, forces can print aerial assets on-site, ensuring tactical autonomy when global supply chains fail.
The Mosquito 1000 and Mosquito 1600 platforms are scheduled for their international debut at the Eurosatory 2026 defense exhibition in Paris, held from June 15 to 19, 2026.
