“HERE ARE THE FEATURES OF SİPER-A (Anti-Ballistic) AND SİPER BLOCK 4, TITLED “AESA RADAR SEEKER HEAD”!
— Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün:
“We aim for the SİPER-1 systems to introduce new capabilities to the inventory of our Turkish Armed Forces between 2026-2031.
In SİPER-2, we are advancing the activities we are conducting under the serial production contract signed on October 29, 2025, to a new phase.
Through the contract amendment we signed, we aim to meet the additional fleet, battery, and missile needs of our Air Force Command.
We will integrate our SİPER-2 systems into the inventory of our Air Force between 2027-2032, providing effective defense capabilities against air-breathing targets, cruise missiles, and air-to-ground munitions.
Our SİPER-A Project, which we are developing in the field of lower-tier ballistic missile defense, also constitutes a strategic threshold in terms of our air and missile defense architecture.
This system will be one of the critical elements of our Steel Dome vision in ballistic missile defense, thanks to its AESA-based RF seeker head, precise target detection and tracking capability, and rapid reaction capability.
Our SİPER-4 Project, on the other hand, represents the upper-tier capability of this vision.
SİPER-4 will meet the upper-tier anti-ballistic missile interception needs of our Air Force Command, further advancing our national competence in radar, guidance, command and control, missile technologies, and system integration.”
Low tier vs High tier (Alt katman vs Üst katman)
I find both Turkish and English classifications confusing honestly.
Low and high meaning low and high altitudes like lower altitude air breathing targets or just low threat and high threat priority (evasion assessment)
