ATOM 40 mm High-Velocity Smart Ammunition
Ammunition is programmed to the exact time of detonation while leaving the barrel. Using a pre-fragmented and explosive-filled shell that is optimized for the target set, high hit probability is ensured. When used as land ammunition, it is effective against threats deployed behind the cover, infantry units scattered across the field, and unarmored vehicles. If used together with the anti-UAV system, it can also be used in the physical destruction of mini UAVs. With the amendment to the İHTAR contract signed with the Presidency of Defense Industry on February 7, 2020, the supply of ATOM 40 mm Ammunition was also added together with the SAHIN (40 mm UAV Hard-Kill System) System. The ammunition is qualified and delivered under the contract in the first half of 2021.
Modernization of Mortar And Howitzer Munitions
ASELSAN carries outwork on ammunition to be directed to the target by correcting in terms of distance to increase the strike precision of the artillery and mortar ammunition. In this context, development works was carried out for Course Correction Kit (MDK), that allows the fins integrated with the fuse to open at the specified time by using the deviation in the measured muzzle velocity of the ammunition and corrects the range of the ammunition by deployment of the air brake, are carried out. In 2020, the design activities of the MDK were carried out and preliminary prototypes were produced, and the first firing tests were successfully performed.
