This article addresses a previously underexplored issue in military acquisition, focusing on the evolving systems engineering approach within the Polish Armed Forces. The objective is to assess the current state of Poland's military acquisition model and its alignment with NATO standards, particularly the integration of Systems Life Cycle Management as outlined in STANAG 4728. The article fills a gap in the existing literature by evaluating the perspectives for future changes and improvements in the acquisition system. The structure of the article examines the historical development of the Polish model, the challenges of implementing NATO-compliant processes, and future directions for enhancing operational efficiency. The research methods include analysis, synthesis, comparison, and generalisation, combined with logical reasoning techniques, such as deduction, induction, and analogy. These methods facilitate a qualitative understanding of the system’s strengths and weaknesses. The results indicate that while Poland has made significant strides in modernising its acquisition system, major gaps remain, particularly in the coordination between institutions and the practical implementation of systems engineering. The article concludes that a comprehensive, system-wide approach is essential for future development, especially in addressing the challenges of capability acquisition and long-term system sustainability.

Artykuł porusza dotychczas niedostatecznie zbadany problem w zakresie pozyskiwania sprzętu wojskowego, koncentrując się na rozwijającym się podejściu inżynierii systemów w Siłach Zbrojnych RP. Celem jest ocena aktualnego stanu polskiego modelu pozyskiwania sprzętu wojskowego oraz jego zgodności ze standardami NATO, w szczególności w zakresie integracji Zarządzania Cyklem Życia Systemu, zgodnie z wytycznymi STANAG 4728. Artykuł wypełnia lukę w dotychczasowej literaturze, analizując perspektywy przyszłych zmian i usprawnień w systemie pozyskiwania. Struktura artykułu obejmuje historyczny rozwój polskiego modelu, wyzwania związane z wdrażaniem procesów zgodnych z NATO oraz przyszłe kierunki wzmocnienia efektywności operacyjnej. Zastosowane metody badawcze obejmują analizę, syntezę, porównanie i uogólnienia, uzupełnione o techniki wnioskowania logicznego, takie jak dedukcja, indukcja i analogia. Metody te umożliwiły jakościowe zrozumienie mocnych i słabych stron systemu. Wyniki wskazują, że mimo istotnych postępów Polski w modernizacji systemu pozyskiwania, pozostają istotne luki, szczególnie w zakresie koordynacji pomiędzy instytucjami oraz praktycznego wdrożenia inżynierii systemów. Artykuł konkluduje, że kompleksowe, systemowe podejście jest kluczowe dla przyszłego rozwoju, zwłaszcza w obszarze pozyskiwania zdolności i długoterminowej trwałości systemu.
