INTRACOM DEFENSE has been manufacturing electronic warfare and communications systems since 1977, positioning itself as Greece's primary defense electronics contractor. In May 2023, Israel Aerospace Industries acquired a 90.91% controlling stake, shifting the company into a new operational structure under IAI's global defense portfolio. The company operates under ISO 27001:2022 certification for its information security management system - a baseline requirement for handling classified defense contracts and managing supply chain security in an industry where nation-state threats are the default threat model.
The technical portfolio centers on C4I platforms - Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence systems - which are inherently high-value targets for reconnaissance and exploitation. This includes the WiSPRevo Tactical Communication and Information System, tactical communications equipment, and high bit-rate missile telemetry systems used in weapons testing. Telemetry systems in particular handle real-time data streams from test flights, requiring both data integrity guarantees and protection against signal interception or manipulation. The company also develops unmanned systems, where secure control links and tamper-resistant onboard systems are critical operational requirements.
As a defense contractor manufacturing electronics for international export, INTRACOM DEFENSE operates in a threat environment that includes supply chain interdiction, hardware implants, firmware tampering, and signals intelligence collection. The ISO 27001 certification suggests formalized controls around access management, incident response, and secure development lifecycle practices, though the specifics of implementation - TEMPEST compliance, trusted foundry sourcing, secure boot architectures - aren't publicly detailed. Under IAI ownership, the company likely inherits defense-grade security protocols aligned with Israeli military standards, which historically emphasize compartmentalization and continuous monitoring for insider threats and foreign intelligence operations.
