  • SAS Tech demonstrated TALPS system at Aisios Oionos 2025 military exercise.
  • The TALPS system boasts advanced autonomous precision-strike capabilities using UCAV SARISA II.
  • TALPS achieves battlespace integration with minimal human intervention and advanced automation.

SAS Technology played a pivotal role in the recent "Aisios Oionos 2025" military exercise held in the Alexandroupolis–Evros region by the Hellenic Armed Forces.

The highlight of the exercise was the debut of the Tactical Autonomous Laser Precision Strike (TALPS) system, showcasing a groundbreaking autonomous precision-strike capability. This system has been developed in conjunction with the ongoing operational integration of the UCAV SARISA II.

Distinguished attendees, including the Minister of National Defense, Mr. Nikos Dendias, Chief of the Hellenic National Defense General Staff, General Dimitrios Choupis, alongside other high-ranking officials, were briefed on how Greek defense technology enhances operational capabilities.

Advanced Autonomous Precision-Strike System

The TALPS system is an advanced precision-strike solution capable of detecting, identifying, verifying, and designating targets. It executes strikes using either a single UCAV SARISA II or a coordinated swarm of UCAVs.

Human intervention is limited to tactical and safety decisions, such as target selection and trigger activation, maintaining a "man-in-the-loop" control approach.

Optimizing with Aim-Correction Algorithm

This feature fine-tunes firing accuracy by considering environmental factors like wind and temperature

Upon positioning, TALPS initiates its aim-correction algorithm. This feature fine-tunes firing accuracy by considering environmental factors like wind and temperature, as well as the aircraft's positional dynamics.

The UCAV autonomously adjusts its heading, attitude, altitude, and launcher angle to ensure optimal firing parameters.

When ready, the system calls for target designation and proceeds with the strike upon confirmation from human operators.

Minimal Yet Fully Autonomous Configuration

TALPS operates with an efficient configuration, comprising a command and control (C2) station, an organic fixed-wing ISR/Designator UAV, and multiple UCAV SARISA II units.

It is designed to integrate external assets such as aircraft, helicopters, or ground vehicles equipped with laser-guided munitions, enabling comprehensive battlespace integration. Its open architecture and high automation levels place TALPS among the next generation of autonomous systems emerging from Greece.
