The IR25 Exercise took place at the Petrochori Exercise Area, in Xanthi, Greece, between June 3-4, 2025, with the participation of units and assets from six allied nations, including the US, France, Spain and Greece.

During the Exercise, IDE deployed the following Hybrid Electric Power Systems, the capabilities of which were demonstrated to the distinguished guests, including the Chargé d’ Affaires of the US Embassy in Athens, Mrs Maria dG Olson and military officials of the participating Armed Forces:

• HGT20K Tactical Hybrid Generator, in “Silent Operation” to conceal the thermal trace, through its advanced Energy Storage System, and the exploitation of renewable energy sources to extend operational autonomy. The Hybrid Generator supported the equipment and systems of IDE and other participating companies.
• GENAIRCON Silent Auxiliary Power System (SAPS), integrated to an upgraded “M113 Remote Vulcan” armored vehicle of MENGIA S.A., in conditions of thermal and acoustic traces concealment.

IDE actively supports the specific initiative of the Hellenic Army General Staff for the participation of the domestic Defense Industry, as well as any other similar actions, for the benefit of the Greek and allied Armed Forces.
