What the Finance Minister said
A Greek defence startup is putting up the "Outpost" autonomous observation tower to enhance island monitoring, which is important in territorial conflicts with neighbouring Turkey.
In fact, the Minister confirmed that the test flights will take place in mid-October while its production will begin at the end of this year!
The Second quarter of the work of the “Archytas” program has been completed, which aims at the design and industrial production of the first multi-purpose autonomous aerial vehicle
Το UAV αναμένεται να αναβαθμίσει ουσιαστικά την άμυνα της Ελλάδας συνολικά ενώ θα ενταχθεί και στις υπηρεσίες πολιτικής προστασίας. Θα χρησιμοποιηθεί για την επιτήρηση των χερσαίων και θαλάσσιων συνόρων της χώρας, αλλά μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί και για εμπορικούς σκοπούς.
