When the Polish Navy created its frogman special forces unit (called Formoza) in 1975 they went about things in a thoroughly independent way. Although part of the WARPAC, they did not leverage either the Soviets (Spetsnaz) or East German's (KSK-18) underwater vehicles. Development of the indigenous Blotniak (meaning Marsh Harrier) started in the 1970s at the Naval University of Gdynia, Poland under a veil of secrecy. From 1978 work was carried out at the Institute of Ship Construction and Propulsion under the leadership of Prof. Wladyslaw Wojnowski. The development team composed of Commander J. Biegalski, Captain A Domiszewski, B. Jakus, Captain M. Pleszewski and Commander B. Sowe.
