As demand for resilient anti-drone and electronic warfare systems grows, Aselsan’s latest technology unveiled at SAHA EXPO 2024 is set to redefine UAV defense. Despite the event’s conclusion, these innovations continue to capture industry attention, underscoring Aselsan’s commitment to meeting dynamic threats with cutting-edge capabilities. From the powerful Korkut 25 mm system to the versatile ANTIDOT EW pods, Aselsan’s portfolio exemplifies the versatility and precision needed to confront modern battlefield challenges head-on. One notable solution is designed to counter both conventional and FPV-type drones, offering both hard and soft kill options. The anti-drone suite comprises the Korkut 25 mm remote-controlled weapon system with an unmanned turret, the Bukalemun GNSS spoofing system, the Kangal-FPV jamming system, and the Seda 100-cUAV acoustic detection system, all integrated into the İHTAR anti-drone system. The Korkut 25 mm remote-controlled weapon system is intended to combat armored land targets and mini/micro UAVs. This RCWS can integrate with various tactical platforms such as 4×4, 6×6, and 8×8 vehicles. It utilizes 25 mm airburst ammunition and offers both soft and hard kill capabilities. The system features gyro stabilization, high-resolution day/night cameras, a laser rangefinder, and advanced ballistic computation for precise targeting and high firing accuracy. The Bukalemun GNSS spoofing system disrupts UAVs by manipulating their multi-GNSS receivers, providing static and dynamic spoofing capabilities over extended distances, enabling users to effectively neutralize enemy drones with precision. The Kangal-FPV Jamming System was developed specifically as a counter-FPV electronic warfare measure to neutralize FPVs within the electronic warfare spectrum. The SEDA 100-cUAV, integrated into the İHTAR anti-drone system, employs advanced acoustic detection technology to identify UAVs at greater ranges than competing systems. Its array of sensitive, precisely positioned microphones significantly enhances situational awareness against UAV threats.
Another significant development presented by Aselsan is a new range of electronic warfare pods designed to enhance UAV capabilities. These advanced EW pods provide UAVs with critical detection, classification, and jamming capabilities to counter air defense threats, ensuring both the protection of UAVs and nearby friendly air assets.
The ANTIDOT 2-U LB/MB/HB is the smallest of these pods, weighing just 11 kilograms. It can be mounted on a UAV in place of MAM-L ammunition. This pod is designed to detect and neutralize air defense systems while protecting its platform and nearby assets with escort jamming. The pod requires 380W of power provided by the UAV and comes in three versions for low-, mid-, and high-band frequency-emitting targets.
The larger ANTIDOT 2-U pod, with its high output power and broad frequency coverage, autonomously executes electronic attacks to suppress and deceive enemy radars. This pod, weighing 45 kg and operating at 1100W, can be carried by tactical-class UAVs without major modifications.
The final pod, ANTIDOT 2-U/S, functions as an electronic support system. It can detect, record, and pinpoint signals from enemy radars for precise threat identification. This pod transmits data on enemy radars to the UAV ground control station for real-time situational awareness at minimal operational cost.
