TAI has developed domestic aircraft such as MMU, HURJET, ATAK-2, developed with national resources, with the “Future of the Future”.
Within the scope of the “Century of the Century Programme”, with the presence of the state officials, it made a show of strength. In the program, it was announced that the name of MMU would be “KAAN”. So what are the ASELSAN systems in KAAN? Let’s take a closer look.
Fifth generation fighter aircraft MMU KAAN!
With the gradual decommissioning of many F-16 aircraft, which are in the inventory of the Turkish Air Force Command, starting from 2030, the National Combat Aircraft, which was developed with domestic facilities and capabilities that can replace them, with its new name KAAN, took the lead by using the propulsion of its own engine and taxiing. had arrived at the planned area for the promotion.
KAAN, which was designed with domestic and national resources, taking into account the capabilities and equipment that the fifth generation warplanes should have; It can share data securely with friendly elements through a network-centered structure. In addition, with the use of smart munitions, it can provide strategic attack opportunities against all kinds of air-air and air-ground targets.
Will there be a parachute plane? Here comes the Cirrus Vision Jet!
The issue of safety in aviation is of great importance to all of us. So, do you know about the Cirrus Vision Jet plane that can land with a parachute?
KAAN’s main features in air dominance
• High performance radar, electronic warfare, electro-optics, communication, navigation and
ability to identify
• Precise and accurate firing from internal gun mounts at supersonic speed
• With automatic target recognition and detection, multiple data fusion and artificial intelligence capabilities
increased combat power
ASELSAN systems at KAAN
ASELSAN has developed many important electronic systems of KAAN with domestic and national resources:
- ICNI Project (BÜHSET): Communication Functions, Navigation Functions, Recognition Functions, ICNI Antennas
- Tulgar : Helmet Integrated Imaging System
- Integrated EO System (BEOS): KARAT-100: Infrared Search and Tracking System, TOYGUN-100: Integrated Electro-Optical Targeting system, IRIS-300: Infrared Missile Warning and Imaging System, LIAS-300: Laser Warning System, YILDIRIM-300 : Directed Infrared Countermeasure System
- Flight Control System Sensors (IMU): Guide-40 IMU System
- BURFIS Project: IRFS, AESA Radar/EW Sub-System, CMDS
In addition to the systems developed by ASELSAN, KAAN includes a lot of software and hardware developed by other domestic defense industry companies. In addition, domestic engine development studies for KAAN are also carried out by TEI (TUSAŞ Motor Sanayii A.Ş.).
