Polar Technology was selected from a pool of suppliers that delivered exceptional performance and contributions to support supply chain success for BAE Systems’ Electronic Systems sector in 2024.

The award recognises the high standard of quality and delivery achieved in their supply of the structural elements of the Striker II Helmet-Mounted Display.

BAE Systems’ Partner 2 Win programme is designed to achieve operational excellence and eliminate inefficiencies in its supply chain by raising the bar of performance expectations to meet the demands of current and future customers.

As part of the programme, BAE Systems meets regularly with its suppliers to transfer best practices and ensure the components and materials that compose its products meet the highest quality standards.

The Gold Tier is awarded to the suppliers who achieve 100% quality and delivery ratings over a 12-month rolling period.

“I want to sincerely thank our winning suppliers for their exceptional support and groundbreaking solutions that have set new standards in our industry,” said Jennica Dearborn, vice president of Operations, Electronic Systems. “We look forward to our continued collaborations that push the boundaries of what’s possible.”

Polar Technology are an engineering and manufacturing business providing technology-based solutions that are advancing composite and metallic technology. The high integrity composite structure and 3D printed optics frame assembly that form part of the Striker II Helmet are evidence of Polar’s expertise in the manufacture of composite structures, which is just one element of their varied and growing portfolio for the defence industry.

Paul Janes, Managing Director at Polar, said: “We are delighted to receive this award from BAE Systems, as it is a testament to the high standards of quality and delivery that we pride ourselves on here at Polar Technology.

"This collaboration represents a flagship programme for our team and we’re proud to be continuing to support BAE Systems for the duration of the project.”
