The announcement was made during a launch ceremony held on the second day of the exhibition. Aselsan stated that the new systems are intended to address increasingly complex operational environments across both the electromagnetic spectrum and physical combat domains.
In the electronic warfare sector, the company presented updated versions of the KORAL, ILGAR and EJDERHA systems. Aselsan said the systems are designed to enhance the ability to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum through advanced detection, jamming and deception capabilities.
The KORAL AD Air Defence Electronic Warfare System is a land-based mobile radar electronic warfare platform integrating electronic support and electronic attack functions on a single system. According to Aselsan, KORAL AD is capable of long-range detection, identification and classification of hostile radars while applying advanced jamming and deception techniques.
The company said the system provides Anti-Access/Area Denial capabilities by detecting, deceiving and jamming enemy aircraft radars. Aselsan added that KORAL AD is intended to play a key role in strengthening layered air defence systems such as Steel Dome.
Aselsan also unveiled a new version of the ILGAR Communication Electronic Warfare System, a mobile electronic attack platform designed to target V/UHF and partially SHF communication systems. The company said ILGAR uses high radio-frequency output power and reactive jamming capabilities to disrupt, delay or deceive enemy communications, including frequency-hopping systems.
According to Aselsan, ILGAR can conduct both electronic attack and electronic support missions while on the move. The company stated that the system is designed to target strategic aircraft communication systems while maintaining tactical superiority and operational resilience in dynamic battlefield conditions.
Expanding its electromagnetic warfare capabilities into the counter-UAV sector, Aselsan introduced a new version of the EJDERHA high-power electromagnetic protection system. The company said the system neutralises mini and micro unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly swarm formations, through the use of high-power electromagnetic wave technology.
Aselsan stated that the latest EJDERHA configuration incorporates an integrated radar, upgraded electro-optical systems and improved engagement effectiveness. According to the company, these upgrades have transformed the system into a fully autonomous stand-alone capability.
In the counter-UAV field, Aselsan also introduced the GÖKALP Autonomous Kinetic Drone Interception System and the MİĞFER Self-Protection FPV Interception System. The company said both systems were developed to counter the growing threat posed by asymmetric drone warfare.
GÖKALP is described as a high-speed interceptor drone powered by artificial intelligence and designed to destroy FPV and kamikaze UAVs through kinetic impact. Aselsan said the system combines smart tracking and fully automatic interception capabilities to enable autonomous drone-against-drone engagements.
The company stated that this capability is currently available in only a limited number of systems worldwide. Aselsan added that GÖKALP is designed to provide rapid and precise responses against fast-moving aerial threats.
MİĞFER was introduced as a dedicated “hard-kill” interception solution integrated onto a 4×4 armoured vehicle platform. According to Aselsan, the system is intended to protect tanks and armoured personnel carriers against micro-drone threats in high-intensity combat environments.
The company said MİĞFER uses dual smoothbore shotguns and specialised anti-UAV ammunition to autonomously detect and neutralise threats within a 150-metre radius. Aselsan stated that the system is designed to improve localised survivability for mobile combat formations.
Aselsan also unveiled the GÖKBERK 10kW Laser Weapon System, a directed-energy air defence system developed to counter close-range aerial threats. The company said the system uses an indigenous 10-kilowatt laser source to physically neutralise targets with high efficiency and minimal power consumption.
According to Aselsan, GÖKBERK is intended to protect critical facilities, land platforms, energy infrastructure and headquarters. The company stated that the system forms part of its broader effort to expand directed-energy air defence technologies.
“Modern battlefields require integrated solutions across both the electromagnetic spectrum and physical domains,” said Ahmet Akyol, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aselsan. “At SAHA 2026, we are proud to launch new systems and products which will strengthen the capabilities of Steel Dome.”
“KORAL jams enemy aircraft radars, ILGAR disrupts enemy communications, GÖKALP brings a unique capability by enabling automatic drone-against-drone interception with smart tracking and EJDERHA neutralises mini and micro unmanned aerial vehicles effectively,” he added. “Together with our MİĞFER and GÖKBERK 10kW anti-drone systems, these solutions will make Steel Dome stronger against evolving air and electronic threats.”
