Achilles Shield: Fully Operational in 34 Months
Published
Defence Minister Nikos Dendias announced that the "Achilles Shield" programme will be fully operational in 34 months. The programme concerns the country's defence and the overall plan for protecting its airspace.
According to his statements, the "brain" of the programme will be the national command and control system. This system will coordinate the various components of the "Shield" so that they operate together in a unified manner.
The minister also referred specifically to the anti-drone component of the programme. He stressed that domestic systems play a fundamental role, as protection against unmanned aircraft, commonly known as drones, is becoming increasingly important for modern armed forces.
In the coming years, it will become clear how the programme develops and whether the announced timetables are met. The "Achilles Shield" is one of the most significant defence projects announced in the country recently.
