===Huzar derivative===
DuringTrong thesuốt 1990sthập niên 1990, PZL-Świdnik heavily pursued the development of an envisioned ''Huzar'' [[attack helicopter|battlefield helicopter]], which was to be based on the airframe of the W-3 Sokol and would have eventually involved the manufacture of 100 such attack helicopters under a tentative $350 million contract for the Polish Army.<ref name = "avionics 98"/> While the programme was initiated by the company, it was heavily afflicted by repeated setbacks and delays as PZL-Świdnik's financial state worsened as well as the firm often waiting for years for development funds to be issued by the Polish government with which it could formally launch the next phase of development. When a contract for the helicopter's avionics and weapon systems was awarded within a government [[memorandum of understanding]] (MoU) to an [[Israel]]i consortium, consisting of armaments manufacturer [[Rafael Advanced Defense Systems]] and defense electronics company [[Elbit Systems]], making them the intended supplier for both the missiles and avionics for the helicopter.<ref name = "avionics 98"/><ref name = "partn 1998">Jeziorski, Andrzej.

During 1998, the [[Council of Ministers (Poland)|Polish Council of Ministers]] issued its recommendation for the launch of a new tender in support of the envisioned Huzar.<ref name = "avionics 98"/> Specifically, the tender sought an avionics and weapons systems integrator for the new rotorcraft, potentially replacing the originally selected Israeli consortium due to alleged irregularities involved in the prior arrangement's awarding.<ref name = "partn 1998"/> American firm [[Boeing]], who led their own bid involving in excess of 20 separate companies, represented Elbit's chief competitor for the integration contract; at one point, it appeared that political changes to the competition had made Boeing the favourite to win the contract.<ref name = "avionics 98">[https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/polish-recommendation-opens-huzars-avionics-door-fo-40590/ "Polish recommendation opens Huzar's avionics door for Boeing."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170914124943/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/polish-recommendation-opens-huzars-avionics-door-fo-40590/ |date = ngày 14 tháng 9 năm 2017}} ''Flight International'', ngày 12 tháng 8 năm 1998.</ref> While Rafael's [[Spike (missile)|NT-D]] [[anti-tank missile]] was selected, this was subject to the successful completion of several test launches; if it failed, rival bids from Boeing for the [[AGM-114 Hellfire]], British firm [[GEC-Marconi]] with the [[Brimstone (missile)|Brimstone]] and the Franko-German company [[MBDA|Euromissile]]'s [[HOT (missile)|HOT 3]] missile.<ref name = "avionics 98"/><ref name = "partn 1998"/> The Israeli Government resisted breaking up its consortium for a separate avionics integration contract, stated it would refuse to release the NT-D missile unless it was also awarded the avionics bid, but reportedly softened on this stance.<ref name = "avionics 98"/>
