Staikouras: The Greek drone “Archytas” is developing according to the program

According to the program, and based on the assessment report of the competent authorities, the “Archytas” project is progressing, which concerns the design and industrial production of a multi-purpose autonomous aerial vehicle (drone). This was stated by the Minister of Finance Christos Staikouras, on the occasion of the completion of one year since the start of the implementation of the program.

As Mr. Staikouras said, the experimental flights (with a scaled drone) will take place around mid-October, while, at the same time, the supply and control of the components continues. The small delays observed are due to the disruptions that have been caused to supply chains worldwide.

Based on the planning, the construction of the actual prototype is expected to begin towards the end of 2022, while ODA is structuring the production line and setting up the sales promotion department.

“With the completion of the first year, I consider it my duty to congratulate and thank those who have been involved in this national effort on behalf of the Ministry of Finance, my special partners, the Hellenic Aviation Industry, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the Democritus University of Thrace and University of Thessaly for their efforts and consistency. “Greece, with the cooperation of its wider public sector, proves that it wants and can enter the global market of high-tech products in an organized and active manner,” added the Minister of Finance.
