ASELSAN launches next-generation anti-drone systems at SAHA EXPO 2024

By Defence Industry Europe

ASELSAN, Türkiye’s leading defence and electronics company, unveiled a series of new advanced anti-drone systems on the opening day of SAHA EXPO 2024, one of the largest defence and aerospace exhibitions in the region. The new products introduced include the KORKUT 25 mm remote-controlled weapon system, BUKALEMUN GNSS spoofing system, KANGAL-FPV jamming system, and the SEDA 100-cUAV acoustic detection system, each bringing enhanced capabilities to counter the increasing threat of drones on modern battlefields.

 

The KORKUT 25 mm system, a remote-controlled unmanned turret, is designed primarily for combating armoured land targets and mini-micro UAVs, offering flexible integration across various tactical vehicles, including 4×4, 6×6, and 8×8 wheeled and tracked platforms. Equipped with 25 mm airburst ammunition, the system features both soft and hard kill capabilities, making it highly effective in rural environments where UAV threats are on the rise. The KORKUT 25 is further enhanced by external sensor data, including radar and surveillance cameras, and boasts high-precision targeting through its advanced automatic ballistic calculation system. Additional features include gyro-stabilisation, remote operation, high-resolution day and night cameras, a laser range finder, and automated target detection and tracking.

ASELSAN also showcased the BUKALEMUN GNSS spoofing system, a cutting-edge solution that deceives UAVs by exploiting their reliance on GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) signals. This system is capable of both static and dynamic deception at considerable distances, extending ASELSAN’s leadership in electronic warfare by offering powerful spoofing capabilities in predefined scenarios.

Another notable launch was the KANGAL-FPV jamming system, which has been developed to neutralise FPV (First-Person View) drones through electronic warfare means. As FPV drones are becoming increasingly prevalent in operations, the KANGAL-FPV system addresses this emerging threat by effectively jamming their communications, further boosting the defence sector’s ability to neutralise hostile UAVs.

In addition, the SEDA 100-cUAV acoustic detection system was introduced as part of ASELSAN’s comprehensive İHTAR anti-drone system. The SEDA 100-cUAV is equipped with an array of precisely positioned microphones that allow it to detect and locate UAVs over extended ranges, outperforming its international competitors. By integrating this advanced acoustic detection technology, İHTAR provides users with superior early-warning capabilities in combat environments.

Commenting on these new developments, ASELSAN President & CEO Ahmet Akyol highlighted the company’s focus on adapting to the changing dynamics of modern warfare. “As ASELSAN, we are closely following the changing conditions and increasing threats on the battlefield in today’s world and developing advanced systems with high adaptability. We are witnessing the increasing use of drones in operations, and we believe our anti-drone systems with the addition of new capabilities will offer superiority to its users in eliminating drone threats,” he said. Akyol reaffirmed ASELSAN’s commitment to continue developing game-changing technologies in line with its strategic goals for many years to come.
