The Hellenic Defense Innovation Center (ELKAK) It has announced new major initiatives in the field of National Defense and Technology, with the spearhead of domestic satellite development and the implementation of innovative systems to address new threats.

According to recent update, issued proclamation for the development of satellite ISR that will use SAR technology to depicted from space, offering significant reinforcement to capabilities surveillance of the Armed Forces.

The proposal concerns a fully innovative and developed technologically satellite sarwhich is expected to overcome existing international operational capabilities, ensuring continuous surveillance Regardless of lighting and weather conditions.

This project will be fully implemented in Greecewith the participation of innovative Greek businesses and organizations, dynamically enhancing the national presence in the field of space systems.

The success of this project creates the background for further advanced development space defense technologies In our country, making Greece a credible technological partner in the European and international arena. The overall budget is up to 25 million euros.

Address new threats: Counter UAS and Electronic War

ELKAK proceeds in addition to preliminary consultation for the development Integrated Unmanned Aircraft Management System (Counter UAS). This system will have so much kinetic as well as non -motor capabilitiesto effectively deal with individual drones or slices.

Includes advanced technologies for Detection, recognition, monitoring, targeting and neutralizing threatssupporting both autonomous and interconnected operation.

Among the technological innovations of the system are included interference with communications; Navigation (GNSS spoofing) misleading; cyberattacks as well as the incorporation of destructive weapons such as laser and Directed Energy Weapons.

OR articulated architecture offers the ability to integrate into various operational platforms with emphasis on interoperability and scalability of the system.

Electronic War and System Interference

At the same time, a news was announced preliminary consultation in order to implement Integrated Radar and Communication System. This is an advanced Ground Electronic War System (HP)with the aim of electronic surveillance, disclosure, recognition, monitoring and interference against enemy systems at multiple frequencies and distances.

Its operation will be based on artificial intelligence for direct adaptation to changing electromagnetic environments, while the arthritis of architecture allows to be placed on fixed or mobile platforms and integration into existing C4i systems of the Armed Forces.

As noted by ELKAK CEO Pantelis Tzortzakis: “The space is today on the fifth recognized operational dimension – along with land, sea, air and cyberspace. With the valuable contribution of the GEHEA and in close cooperation and regular coordination with the Ministry of Digital Governance and ELEDE, which implements the National Space Strategy as a supervisor of the Ministry of Digital Government, ELKAK is pleased to announce its position to.

By filling in, he underlined: “ELKAK is now implementing projects that cover operational requirements in all five dimensions”while he ended up pointing out: “We work consistently so that each of our initiative can boost the country’s self -sufficiency, create value for the national economy and boost innovations with an impact on both defense and market.”.
