Aggelos Chorianopoulos stated that the American defense startup Shield AI signed a co-development and partial co-production agreement with GEK TERNA in Greece for the unmanned X-BAT, which uses the Hivemind artificial intelligence software. He presented the agreement as a significant defense project which, he said, was linked to Marco Rubio's departure from Greece. According to him, the X-BAT is designed as a "loyal wingman" for the F-35s and will be capable of carrying AGM-154 JSOW and AGM-158C LRASM anti-ship missiles. He added that Hivemind enables autonomous targeting within enemy A2/AD zones and noted that the V-BAT can already operate in such areas. Chorianopoulos argued that the agreement includes Greece in a new American defense architecture, with a central role for artificial intelligence, machine learning, domestic data centers, and co-productions with foreign companies. He also mentioned that Shield AI was already collaborating with the Greek EFA GROUP on software matters, although more details are not known. He stated that he had proposed the V-BAT, the FPV of Resilience Tech, the X-BAT, and the Switchblade two years before their acquisition, while estimating that the same would happen with the Corsair. He described the vote of confidence in the Greek defense industry and the tax policy for businesses as unprecedented. He attributed GEK TERNA's selection to its industrial capacity, facilities, and international presence, while asserting that American companies do not choose partners based on personal relationships with politicians. #ΑμυντικήΣυνεργασία #ΤεχνητήΝοημοσύνη #Ελλάδα (translated)
