Alexandroupolis. SAS Technology successfully participated in the Hellenic Armed Forces exercise “Aisios Oionos 2025”, held in the wider Alexandroupolis–Evros region. During the exercise, the company demonstrated for the first time the TALPS (Tactical Autonomous Laser Precision Strike) system — an advanced autonomous precision-strike capability developed as part of the ongoing operational employment of the UCAV SARISA II.
The event was honoured by the presence of the Minister of National Defence Nikos Dendias, the Chief of the Hellenic National Defence General Staff General Dimitrios Choupis, the Chiefs of the General Staffs, and senior officers of the Hellenic Armed Forces, who were briefed on the field about the new operational capabilities enabled by Greek defence technology.
TALPS: AUTONOMY – PRECISION – SWARMING
TALPS is a fully integrated tactical autonomous precision-strike system that:
- detects, identifies, verifies and designates targets,
- performs strikes using a single UCAV SARISA II or a swarm of UCAVs,
- requires minimal human intervention, limited solely to tactical/safety decisions — i.e., target selection and trigger activation (man-in-the-loop).
After taking position, the system activates the aim-correction algorithm, which optimises firing accuracy based on prevailing environmental conditions (wind, temperature) as well as the aircraft’s positional and motion parameters (attitude, VelX–VelY). Based on these computations, the UCAV performs continuous autonomous corrections to heading, attitude, altitude, and launcher angle to acquire and maintain optimal firing parameters. Once firing readiness is achieved, the system requests designation, and upon confirmation, executes the strike under man-in-the-loop control.
TALPS operates with a minimal yet fully autonomous configuration — a C2 station with the TALPS Platform, an organic fixed-wing ISR/Designator UAV, and two or more UCAV SARISA II. It can also integrate external effectors (aircraft, helicopters, or ground vehicles carrying laser-guided munitions), achieving full battlespace integration.
It’s open architecture, adaptability, and high degree of automation place it among the most advanced next-generation autonomous systems developed in Greece.
