MILTECH Hellas SA and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) signed a cooperation agreement today regarding the upgrade of Greece’s air defense systems. The selection of MILTECH confirms the highly positive evaluation of its work within the international defense industry.
MILTECH’s contribution to the project will focus on the critical sectors of electronics, console, wiring and other components, as well as system integration. The shared goal of both parties is to supply the Hellenic Armed Forces with IAI’s new BARAX MX system. This is an advanced multi-layered air defense system designed to counter any aerial threat, including aircraft, UAVs, and missiles. It features three types of missiles with ranges of up to 35, 70, and 150 km, offering flexibility and guaranteed effectiveness.
This missile type comes in three versions, expected to fully meet the operational requirements of Greece’s air defense in terms of short, medium, and long ranges. Once fully developed, the BARAX MX will be capable of countering all forms of aerial threats, including ballistic missiles, aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
The agreement between the two companies represents an extremely positive development, as a significant portion of this critical defense program for Greece’s Armed Forces will be executed by Greek defense industries. This is anticipated to elevate Greece’s role—and that of Greek defense companies like MILTECH—in the forthcoming European air defense “dome.”
