The minehunters ORP Albatros and ORP Mewa were built by the Remontowa Shipbuilding S.A. shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland.

Installed in conjunction with an OSI Maritime Systems integrated navigation bridge system, the radar will be tasked with navigation and surface surveillance functionality, providing the Polish Navy with solid state radar sensors to ensure safety of navigation whilst providing advanced small target search capability.
