• Structural and electronic upgrades of orion mar-
itime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft, with the completion of the first modernized P-3B Orion marking a milestone in a modernization program characterized by complexity and a high degree of difficulty, proving once again our dedi- cation and capabilities in achieving our mission.
At the same time, HAI is developing new repair and manufacturing capabilities, planning its par- ticipation in new aircraft upgrade programs, new industrial collaborations and new co-production programs with domestic and foreign companies, while also investing in one of the largest clean rooms in Europe for the testing and assembly of microsatellites and nanosatellites. thus, HAI is no longer limited to the aviation industry but is ex- panding its horizons into space and new tech- nologies.
In all this, our greatest asset remains our peo- ple. the engineers, technicians, scientists, and staff who work every day with precision, responsibility, and national pride. they are the guardians of our heritage and the architects of our future.
this 50-year journey proves that HAI is not just an industry. It is a national asset that shapes the country’s defence and technological presence on an international level. From the era of the Phan- tom to the era of drones and satellites, our role remains crucial.
the next chapter of our history is being writ- ten as we speak, at the dawn of its next 50 years. With strategic focus, innovation, partnerships, and self-reliance; and above all, with the same belief that has guided us since 1975: to keep Greece strong, secure, and safe.
Because HAI will never part with its heritage.
It honors it, integrates it, and transforms it into a foundation for tomorrow!
