According to military sources, the main objective of the long -term programming of defense equipment Armed Forces 2025 – 2036 It is the increase in the militant power of the Armed Forces, keeping the boundaries of the existing fiscal space and activating the involvement of domestic defense and shipbuilding industry at 25%, integrating innovation and modern technologies.
Equipment programs are grouped in 4 main categories:
– Obtaining new possibilities – media.
– Management and Control, Communications and Satellite Systems Systems.
– then support [Follow on Support (FOS)] of new and existing weapons systems with 25% of the total PC.
– Maintenance – upgrading – acquisition of new infrastructure associated with new equipment programs.
The new doctrine of deterrence
In the new doctrine of deterrence, the “Achilles’ shield” With its 5 levels, it will protect the whole Greek territory.
In this way the modern fleet of new frigates and aircraft 4.5th and 5th generation They are released from the narrow boundaries of spatial defense and their operational capabilities are fully exploited, including their strategic weapons.
Flagship programs
OR “Achilles’ shield” It is a holistic approach to effective treatment of enemy, marine and underwater threats using artificial intelligence, through a 5 -level multi -level multi -level: Anti-aircraft, anti-ballistic, anti-drone, anti-submarine protection.The new artillery missile systems achieve a drastic increase in range and the ability to strategic depth, precisely. They launch various ammunition according to the nature and value of the target. At the same time they will also have anti -plays.
Increased range enables the potential and support with neighboring areas. This means the easy possibility of supporting remote islands, small islands and islands as well as mutual support between the main islands.
A cooperation of the Ministry of Education is underway to acquire a geostatic satellite satellite.
There is also a program for the supply of cyber -war and business systems in the electronic spectrum, which will equip the “1864” cyber war and the new electronic warfare units.
The interconnection of all weapons systems, platforms and sensors will be achieved with a common and consolidated system of administration and control, which will systematically use artificial intelligence, with the aim of analyzing information, exploiting them in the process of making decision and involvement of objectives according to its importance and priority.
The component of the development of this system is the existence of reliable modern encrypted communications systems, including satellite.
Upgrading the equipment that the modern fighter will bring will make him strong and effective so that he can respond to the modern and ever -changing and unforeseen battlefield. The architecture of upgrading is based on five levels, survival, communication, awareness, flexibility and firepower.
The 4.5th and 5th generation fighter aircraft (F-35, RAFALE, VIPER) combine interoperability, low radar detection, high performance and increased radius of action. They have sophisticated strategic weapons of large -scale deterrence, advanced AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar, electronic warfare systems and a wealth of advanced sensors, which provide complete image in real time.
The new frigates, as well as the upgrading/modernization, sharply increase the possibility of trying to operate in the Aegean and in the wider region of the Eastern Mediterranean and beyond it, promoting the necessary power. They incorporate innovative technologies interconnected through a network -centric administration and control system. They will have anti -aircraft systems that will create an effective long range protection umbrella, as well as the ability to fir a scalp naval to affect strategic goals in depth. The rockets will face threats to the sea surface, while the most up-to-date anti-submarine systems, combined with the MH-60 Romeo helicopters, will be able to involve any submarine target.
The modernization of the fleet has also been taken into account. To this end, there is a program of modernizing the existing media of the MN (frigates, submarines, cars patrols), the supply of two Fremm frigates, as well as the acquisition of new submarines and coastal patrols.
Defensive innovation and technology
Through the Hellenic Center for Defense Innovation (ELKAK) and the newly formed in the field of evolution, innovation and defense technology, the conditions for the entry of the Armed Forces into the international environment of defense innovation are created, with the aim of covering operations, with the aim of covering operations and operating operations. Defense technology ecosystem.
In this context, the Integrated Anti-Drone System “CENTAVROS”, which is a product of ELKAK’s cooperation with the ODA and has been successfully tested during the “ASPIDES” operation, has already been installed in frigates of the Navy.
Also, this period has already been concluded with ELKAK the contracts for four programs, and the following projects have been announced for a preliminary consultation and competitive dialogue:
– Developing battle management system,
– Development of unmanned surface of surface surfaces (USV),
– Development of a transferred and dynamically growing surveillance system,
– Development of transitional surplus restriction system,
– Development of unmanned cargo aircraft,
– Development of an air surveillance system using acoustic sensors.
Transparency reinforcement measures
In the context of enhancing transparency, in the supplies of defense material we promote the creation of a framework for institutional shielding of the Directorate -General for Defense Equipment and Investment (GDEE), with the following measures:
– Selection of DDTA and GDAE’s Hydintos by EU Axis upon a proposal by the GEHEA– Legal Support of GDAE through the establishment of a Special Office of the State Legal Council (NSS)– Changing the way of installing – staffing of GDAEE (longer time to stay – staffing with specialized personnel – seminar organization)
In addition, the HSS is reinforced by:
– Amendment of a Presidential Decree of Authorization and Operation of the LC
– Memorandum of Understanding Between HSF and AADE, to obtain the ability to control equipment, cooperation and training
– Military Public Prosecutor’s placement in SA
– Legislation for the possibility of removing bank secrecy
– Ability to access the EC Natural Personal Assets Control
At the same time, with regard to the activation of the Special Standing Committee on Equipment Programs & Contracts in the Procedures of Implementing Equipment Programs, the following are launched:
Reporting the Commission every semester and all of the equipment programs to be activated – Update Emergency whenever requested
– Legislation of the Commission’s opinion on the activation and award of equipment programs worth more than € 10 million instead of € 30 million, as it is today.
