History

In 1946 the Wireless Telecommunication workshop was established under the subordinance of the 202nd State Aircraft Factory (SAF) at the Faliro Air Force Base.

In 1958 the SAF was relocated to the Ellinko Air Force Base and the Telecommunications Management of the 202nd SAF was established.

In 1984, the HAF factories were restructured and the Telecommunications and Electronic Means Factory was established as an independent Unit.

In 1988, Telecommunications and Electronic Means Factory was relocated to the Military base at Ano Glyfada and merged with the Research and Technology Center.

In 2001, the merged unit was renamed under the title Hellenic Air Force Telecommunications and Electronics Depot.
