The defense industry today faces significant strategic challenges, primarily due to the growing need for advanced technologies and systems that address emerging geopolitical and military demands.

The greatest challenge Miltech faces in the current decade is to remain competitive while ensuring the high quality and innovative spirit that characterize its products. To achieve this goal, upgrading its technological infrastructure and increasing investment in research and development have been set as top priorities.

In an environment of intense international competition, Miltech is shaping the future of the industry by leveraging advanced technologies such as thermal imaging and electro-optical systems. Innovation remains at the core of its strategy, with the aim of developing new solutions that combine cutting-edge technology with sustainability.

At the same time, collaboration with globally influential companies such as MBDA and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), as well as participation in critical projects like Greece’s air defense shield, are expected to define the company’s success in the coming years.

Miltech is also committed to maintaining – and further strengthening – its experienced workforce in order to play a leading role in industry developments. In a world undergoing significant geopolitical and sociopolitical shifts, the company’s objective is to create value not only for the armed forces but also for society at large, while simultaneously reinforcing its position in the global defense industry through strategic partnerships, synergies, and most importantly, through the development of new technologies.

MBDA AND MILTECH SIGN R&D CONTRACT FOR STEALTH MATERIALS_11zon

MBDA and MILTECH sign R&D contract for stealth materials

MBDA and MILTECH have signed an R&D contract in the field of novel infrared stealth materials for military applications, in collaboration with the University of Patras.

This contract falls under the co-operation programme associated with the FDI HN (Defence and Intervention Frigates for the Hellenic Navy), and supports European efforts towards independence in the defence industrial base.

Eric Béranger, CEO of MBDA, and Dimitrios Dimitriou, Naval and EU Projects Manager of MILTECH, today 18 October, at EURONAVAL 2022, signed the contract in the presence of M. Nikos Chardalias, Greek Deputy Minister of National Defence, and Admiral Aristeidis Alexopoulos, Director General of GDDIA (General Directorate For Defense Investments And Armaments).

The R&D project’s objective is to explore novel photonic nanocomposite materials, advanced IR nanophotonic metamaterial structures and their utilization. The project will rely on the technical competencies mastered by MILTECH in the field of stealth IR and the expertise of the University of Patras in micro/nanophase, molecular, hybrid and bio-phase materials and related technologies.

Eric Béranger, CEO of MBDA, declared: “The contract that we’ve signed today with MILTECH is a perfect example of how we champion innovation and co-operation at MBDA. By moving forward in the research of deeply innovative and disruptive technologies we have also reinforced for the long term the historical partnership we have built with Greece”.

MBDA has supported the Greek Land, Marine and Air forces for over 25 years which has allowed the creation of many collaborations with Greek Defence companies, as well as the identification of particular competencies in several advanced technologies.

This is the reason why MBDA started advanced negotiations with several companies (INTRACOM, AKMON, ELFON, TEMMA, DASYC, SSA, HAI and MEVACO) to set up industrial co-operation projects, including competency transfers, for the benefit of the Greek armed forces.

The purpose of these co-operation programmes, associated with contracts such as providing the FDI HN frigates with missile systems, is to directly embed selected Greek companies in MBDA’s supply chain. By doing so they can benefit from the opportunities that future international contracts represent in the long term.
