And a company representative has contradicted another who spoke to Defense News about the timeline for the drone\u2019s first flight.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DUBAI, United Arab Emirates \u2014 A year after unveiling Greece\u2019s first surveillance drone, manufacturer Hellenic Aerospace Industry said an order from the country\u2019s Defence Ministry is imminent, while the company\u2019s combat model is still looking for takers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Executives unveiled the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/09\/23\/greece-unveils-new-surveillance-drone-to-keep-tabs-on-its-islands\/\">Archytas<\/a>, intended for reconnaissance and surveillance missions, at the International Exhibition of Thessaloniki last year. The company told Defense News at the time it expected the first preproduction Archytas model to be ready for a test flight in March 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pace has since quickened, as the Greek ministry appears eager to fast-track development, HAI officials told Defense News at the Dubai Airshow this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are now planning for it to take its first flight before year end or by early January 2024,\u201d said Anastasia Alexopoulou, a senior sales executive. \u201cAlthough there is no official requirement yet, we have definitely witnessed a sense of urgency from defense authorities to speed things up for Archytas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Company officials are \u201cextremely confident\u201d that the government will place an order following the flight test and cost estimate, she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgia Korontzi, a company representative, emailed Defense News after publication, stating that \u201cthe first flight of Archytas will take place in April 2024 and not in January.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo clarify, in January 2024 the modules of the drone will be completed and in April we will have the first flight,\u201d Korontzi added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Archytas drone can remain airborne for up to four hours and is capable of carrying payloads exceeding 14 kilograms (31 pounds). HAI\u2019s intention is to sell it at home first and then capture international customers. At the Athens defense fair DEFEA in May, North Macedonia and Croatia registered their interest in the system, according to Alexopoulou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same progress still eludes the company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/unmanned\/2023\/01\/24\/greece-builds-first-locally-made-combat-drone\/\">Grypas<\/a> drone, designed for combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will not produce a prototype of the Grypas until a first customer is secured, and for now, although we are hopeful it will be the Greek armed forces, nothing official has been secured,\u201d Alexopoulou said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first phase of the project is still slated to conclude within the next two years, resulting in a scaled version of the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ambition of ramping up its domestic drone industry has been of particular significance for Greece in recent years, as the country remains intertwined in a historic rivalry with its neighbor Turkey, itself a drone powerhouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hellenic Aerospace
