Greece and Israel Move Ahead with €3.1 Billion Achilles’ Shield Air Defense Network
The multilayered network will link existing and Israeli systems with artificial intelligence, and Greek industry is expected to take about 25% of the work.
- On Monday, Greece and Israel are expected to sign the 'Achilles Shield' agreement in Tel Aviv, a large-scale air and missile defense project estimated to cost about €3.1 billion.
- The Achilles Shield forms part of Greece's wider military modernization program, which plans to spend around €28 billion by 2036 on new weapons and defense capabilities including F-35 fighters and unmanned systems.
- Twelve Greek companies will participate with work valued at more than €700 million, representing about 25% of the project, ensuring sensors and interceptors can "communicate" within the networked system.
- Following the signing, implementation is slated to last about 35 months, with Greece securing access to software source code to ensure long-term independence in maintaining and upgrading the system.
- The project deepens defense cooperation between Greece and Israel, with officials describing the security of Greece and Cyprus as an "indivisible strategic space" supported by the integrated multi-layered architecture.
