Procurements by 2022 are also scheduled as on slide. By 2022 we will obtain 2 new submarines, third one is expected to enter service in a timeframe of 2022-2026. This is due to fact, that submarines are most costly purchase and that particular program needs to be extended.. Till 2022 we plan to implement 3 modern minehunters. This will enable to keep our dedication to our MCM missions not only at Baltic sea, but also as contribution to NATO/EU. 2 of 3 coastal defence ships will enter service by 2022. General idea is to obtain most unified units that will enable implementation of mission modules system. Mission module system is also to be implemented at new OPV’s. 2 of them will enter service by 2022. The third one „Ślązak” is a continuation of GAWRON project that is expected to close by 2016. Search and rescue ships shall enter service in periods as shown on the slide. The exact dates of comissioning new units will be coorelated with decomissioning currently used SAR ships. The same goes with maritime recconaissance/intel gathering vessels that will contribute to the overall ISR. By 2022 we will have 1st one and the 2nd will be operational in period 2022-2026. Last but not least is Joint Support Ship that shall be fully operational by 2022.
