ASELSAN’s TOLUN-IIR and TOLUN-S: cutting-edge precision munitions for modern air defence

Sponsored content (ASELSAN)

ASELSAN continues to reinforce its position at the forefront of precision strike technology with the introduction of TOLUN-IIR and TOLUN-S munitions. Engineered to meet the increasingly complex demands of modern air defence and battlefield dynamics, these advanced weapon systems embody significant advancements in operational flexibility, target engagement accuracy, and electronic warfare resilience. As centerpiece solutions at ASELSAN’s upcoming DSEI 2025 showcase, TOLUN-IIR and TOLUN-S underscore the company’s strategic commitment to delivering cutting-edge capabilities that enhance mission effectiveness across diverse and contested operational theaters.

TOLUN-IIR: smart, adaptive targeting with real-time control

Representing the pinnacle of precision-guided munition technology, ASELSAN’s TOLUN-IIR integrates advanced sensor fusion and real-time operator engagement to deliver unparalleled accuracy and adaptability in complex operational scenarios.

TOLUN-IIR is a state-of-the-art 250 lb. glide munition combining INS/GNSS guidance with an advanced imaging infrared (IIR) seeker. With an extended range of 43 nautical miles, it is designed to strike high-value targets with exceptional accuracy while minimizing collateral damage. Its retarding canards and foldable, diamond-shaped wings enable extended glide and controlled terminal maneuvers, ideal for urban and strategic engagements.

 

 

What distinguishes TOLUN-IIR is its “man-in-the-loop” capability via a two-way datalink. This allows real-time transmission of seeker imagery to the pilot, enabling mid-flight target updates and aim-point selection for adaptive, precision strikes even in dynamic battlefields. The munition’s advanced fragmentation warhead features a proximity sensor and programmable fuse, offering flexible detonation control for a broad target spectrum.

Robust against electronic warfare, TOLUN-IIR incorporates a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) to resist jamming and maintain uninterrupted guidance. Its compatibility with ASELSAN’s Smart Pneumatic Quad Rack enables simultaneous deployment of multiple munitions, optimizing strike efficiency.

 

 

TOLUN-S: long-range ground-launched precision strike

As a key element of Ground-Based Precision Strike Systems, TOLUN-S has been specifically developed to enable long-range, high-precision ground-to-ground engagements under all weather conditions, day or night. Originally designed as an air-to-ground munition, TOLUN-S’s enhanced ground-launched capability significantly broadens its operational versatility across diverse mission profiles.

Particularly effective in environments dominated by enemy air defence threats, TOLUN-S offers a full 360-degree engagement capability while eliminating risks to manned aircraft. After launch from the ground via GÖKTAN launcher system, the missile separates from its propulsion unit upon reaching optimal mission altitude and proceeds along pre-planned waypoints, ensuring precise target engagement at the desired impact angle.

 

 

Leveraging cutting-edge smart munition technology, TOLUN-S delivers exceptional targeting accuracy with minimal collateral damage. Its advanced penetration warhead is capable of defeating both armored and reinforced concrete targets up to one meter thick. The programmable electronic fuse allows delayed detonation to maximize mission effectiveness across varying operational scenarios.

Fully integrated within GÖKTAN Fire Control Launcher System, TOLUN-S enhances both strategic reach and tactical flexibility, transforming battlefield effectiveness by providing reliable, adaptable precision strike options under any conditions.

 

 

Transforming battlefield effectiveness

Together, TOLUN-IIR and TOLUN-S exemplify ASELSAN’s commitment to integrating cutting-edge guidance, smart munition technology, and operator control into flexible, reliable solutions.

These munitions equip armed forces with adaptive, highly precise, and resilient strike options – critical capabilities for achieving mission success in complex and contested air defence environments.

 

 

At DSEI 2025 in London, ASELSAN will showcase TOLUN-IIR and TOLUN-S as flagship solutions, demonstrating the company’s ongoing innovation in precision strike capabilities. These systems highlight ASELSAN’s commitment to delivering adaptable, high-precision munitions that meet the evolving demands of modern warfare, providing visitors with direct insight into technologies shaping the future battlefield landscape.
