The Chief Executive Officer of IDE, Mr. George Troullinos, stated that: “It is our highest honor that Diehl Defence, a leading European defense company, has selected IDE for an important high technology part of their world class defense systems.”

The ESSM missile is the result of a multinational government-to-government agreement for the development and production, implemented with defense industries’ cooperation of NATO member-nations. IDE is a valuable partner of the multinational industrial consortium since 1995, when selected by the Program prime contractor-Raytheon, under competitive terms for the design, development, and production of electronic systems of the missile, and continues until today to design and produce demanding electronic units for the Block 2 version of the ESSM missile. This award reconfirms NATO and Raytheon’s trust in IDE’s technical capabilities, quality standards and competitiveness in successfully supporting the navies of NATO consortium member states around the world.
