Turkey‘s investments in the field of defense industry continue at full speed. Our country, which is very successful especially in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, also continues its studies in various fields such as radar.
As a result of this, the last product that entered the inventory and started to work is the national radar. SHIELD-II it happened. ASELSAN Turkey’s first national air defense early warning radar developed by SHIELDRefurbished version of .
Baykar gave the good news: Here is Bayraktar DİHA, which can take off and land vertically!
Baykar published flight test images of the new unmanned aerial vehicle capable of vertical landing and take-off. Here are the features of Bayraktar DİHA…
National radar KALKAN-II started to work
It is an important leap forward project in the development of national radar technologies, especially in the development of electronically scanned phased array radars. ASELSAN‘of SHIELD radar has also been the building block of very critical projects that put Turkey among the countries that can produce the highest radar technologies nationally.
Continuously developed with the experience gained and new technologies SHIELD-II The system, called the system, can detect air targets in the most accurate and fast way in order to protect critical military and civilian facilities. System; It ensures that many different threats are detected and followed in a short time, and that these threats are destroyed by air defense systems with the data it provides.
KALKAN-II The radar can also detect and track enemy systems that try to make electronic jamming on the battlefield. Air Defense Early Warning and Command Control System (HERIKKS) as the main search radar Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) inventory, working in critical regions since 2011 SHIELD-IIeliminated the TAF’s dependence on external resources for its low and medium altitude air defense needs.
KALKAN-II radar is also used as a missile intermediate guidance radar to destroy the approaching threat as part of the HİSAR O+ Air Defense System. KALKAN-II radar can detect 100 targets simultaneously with a 360-degree coverage angle. The system, which also has the ability to be transported by helicopter, can operate for a long time, resistant to challenging environmental conditions.
ASELSAN plays for leadership in radar technologies
ASELSAN Chairman of the Board and General Manager Prof. Dr. Stating that Turkey has become a global brand in high radar technologies, Haluk Görgün said, “The importance of ASELSAN’s activities in the radar field for our country has now been clearly demonstrated by the necessity of these systems to be domestic and national.
We design, manufacture and develop air defense radars that very few countries in the world can produce with national resources. We aim for excellence in our radar projects and the acquisition of more technological capabilities.
We closely follow the developments in order to increase the awareness and influence of our security forces in the field, and thanks to the capabilities we have, we can reveal radar systems that can meet the need very quickly. We will continue to develop the highest radar technologies for the security of our country by working day and night with the power of Turkish engineering.”
