ELECTRONIC WARFARE SYSTEMS
The Undersecreteriat for Defense
Industries signed new contracts within the context of Electronic Warfare Projects. The contracts include the sale of KiRPi Portable Jammers and GERGEDAN Vehicle-Type Jammers, the General Purpose Helicopter, the Integration of ARES-2N Electronic Support Systems, which were deployed in the TCG BÜYÜKADA and TCG HEYBELİADA MİLGEM Platforms and in the 3rd and 4th
MİLGEM Platforms.
The Contract for “Hand Made Explosive (HME) Mechanisms Detection System Project”, which was supported by TÜBİTAK within the scope of “TEYDEB Support Program for Industry R&D Projects” was signed.
In conjunction with Gazi University, METU and Yiğit Akü, ASELSAN signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense regarding the design and manufacture of the domestic Lithium-Ion battery group, which offers the feature of an uninterrupted power supply.
The second AY-Class Submarine ED System was delivered within the scope of KiRPi Portable Jammers and GERGEDAN Vehicle-Type Jammers, Fixed Site HF Direction Finding and Monitoring System, New-Type Mobile DF System, ARES-2SC Submarine ED System and AY-Class Submarine ED System Project.
As part of Procurement and Integration of the HEWS RWR/RFJ/LWR/SCPU contract, Field Effectiveness Tests - which are the final phase of the qualification process - were successfully completed. The mass production phase was initiated by holding
a Qualification Meeting. Development and delivery activities were conducted within the context of HEWS CMDS/CFD Countermeasure Dispensing Systems and Chaff/Flare Decoy Projects.
ASELSAN conducted the design,
production and integration activities of the Land Platform Stand-off Radar Electronic Support and Electronic Attack System, New Type Submarine Radar Electronic Support System, airborne Communication Direction Finding and Monitoring System, Radar Jamming and Deception Simulator (RAKAS), Combat Jamming and Deception simulator (MUKAS), Active/Passive Convoy Protection System, Tank Landing System (LST - Landing Ship Tank), SPEWS-II EH Self Protection Systems, A400M Aircraft Missile Warning System and the MELTEM Maritime Patrol Aircraft Electronic Warfare System Projects.
Development activities continued for various antennae and power amplifiers to be used in HF and V/UHF frequency bands in Communication Electronic Warfare Systems. Confirmation activities were completed and products started to be used within the scope of new Contracts. ASELSAN proposed an offer to the Undersecreteriat for Defense Industries for the High Frequency (HF) Electronic Attack (EA) System, V/UHF Electronic Attack System, Monitoring and Direction Finding System (that can be carried by a single soldier), the High Frequency (HF) Electronic Support (ES) System, the Radar Electronic Support/Electronic Attack System, the Active Protection System (AKKOR) and the Landing Platform Dock Project Deniz EH Suit. Negotiations for the contract for these projects continue, which is expected to be signed in 2015. Within the scope of development High Power Electromagnetic Wave Systems, installation of high capacity impulse generator and high voltage quick charge system as a single cell to the top of an unmanned land vehicle (remote control robot) was conducted. The unit small and portable bag and HPEM system was produced and tested. Our Division prepared Preliminary Feasibility Survey (PFS) for High Power Microwave Systems. Moreover, the Sub-Committee including TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, TÜBİTAK MAM, METU, Anadolu University, and İTÜ in the leadership of ASELSAN A.Ş. prepared a Preliminary Feasibility Survey (PFS) for “Equipment Used in High Power Microwave Systems”.
The Company offered ASELSAN solutions to TÜBİTAK SAVTAG’s calls for the Development of Composite Radar Absorbing Structures for Air Platforms and Detection, Identification and Analysis of Direct Serial Wide Spectrum (DDGS) Based Transmissions Project.
RADAR SYSTEMS
Mortar acquisition radar plays an important role for protection of areas under mortar threats. Three SERHAT radar systems has been developed, manufactured and delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces within the scope of the Mortar Acquisition Radar contract. Being the first national ammunition detection radar of Turkey, SERHAT has won the “TESID Innovation Award in Big Firm Category” at 12th TESID
Innovation and Creativity Contest with its patented radar techniques.
Our next generation Ground Surveillance Radar, ACAR has been delivered and it is actively being used by the Turkish Armed Forces. Its delivery under contract to a South American country land forces has also been completed.
3D Active Phased Array Electronic Scanning Mobile Search Radar and Fire Control Radar developed for Air Defense Systems were both integrated into Self- Propelled Low Altitude Air Defense Gun System (KMNAİHSSS) and Fire Control Device (AİC). Target acquisition and tracking features of the both radars were verified with aircraft and helicopter flight tests.
ASELSAN continued its development activities for the multi face, multifunction, active phased array CAFRAD System to be used on naval platforms.
In the scope of National Fighter Aircraft Development Project, ASELSAN conducted studies for the technology demonstration of the Multi Function Fighter Aircraft Nose Radar.
Design efforts for the development of a Synthetic Aperture Radar Payload in the first phase of the GÖKTÜRK-3 SAR Satellite Project have been continued.
3 KALKAN Air Defense Early Warning Radar Systems were delivered as part of the final delivery of the contract.
The Company is continuing its design efforts for the development of Long Range Radars.
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) System has been successfully tested on the test aircraft after the addition of Naval Search and ISAR modes. ASELSAN reached the final phase in its development activities. Integration of the SAR System onto the TUSAŞ ANKA platform has been continued.
Within the scope of GABYA and BARBAROS class ships modernization program and MİLGEM project, ASELSAN is continuing its efforts to produce and integrate the 3D Naval Search Radar onto the platforms. Production activities of the ALPER LPI radar and 3D Naval Search Radar for the 3rd and
4th MİLGEM platforms have been started.
Within the scope of Coastal Surveillance Radar System (CSRS) Project, ASELSAN continued adaptation and production activities of SERDAR Radar. Field and port acceptance tests were conducted for delivery of SERDAR Radar as part of other projects.
The development activities for the Air Traffic Control radar have been conducted. Within the context of international cooperation, a contract was signed with International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) for the co-development of phased array and scalable Silisium- Germanium (SiGe) based integrated circuits to be used in transmit/receive modules of civilian millimeter wave radar applications like border protection, detection of foreign objects at airports, short range naval target detection, meteorology, flight safety and auxiliary autonomous landing systems. ASELSAN continued the installation, set to work and acceptance activities for Surface Search Radars within the scope of Turkmenistan SGSB Project.
Infrastructures for radar systems will be expanded with the new facilities established in ASELSAN’s GÖLBAŞI campus.
