	ASRAD (Anti-Aircraft Missile System) Project
	ASRAD Hellas is the most advanced and most formidable short-range air defense system anywhere. It was designed especially with the new tasks of the Greek Armed Forces in mind, and for international missions in particular, where the Hellenic Army's air defense capability will prove to be a valuable asset. The delivery of the Advanced Short Range Air Defense System ASRAD is an important step in the transformation of the Hellenic Army. ASRAD will enhance the combat power of light, air-transportable units in combination with mechanized forces, enabling the effective engagement of all types of aerial targets. MILTECH has undertaken a subcontract to manufacture sets of subassemblies (boards, PSU) of the ASRAD Program on behalf of Rheinmetall Defense Electronics GmbH (RDE). Also MILTECH's ATE-100 (Automatic Testing Equipment) has been used for the production testing of the 10 different electronic boards for the ASRAD Missile System. Each ASRAD-HELLAS weapon system carries four ready-to-fire STINGER missiles and holds an additional four missiles ready for a fast reload.
