Retinar FAR-AD AESA radar. It can detect humans from 9+ km and can detect drones with the size of DJI Phantom 4 from 4.4 km.
Gürbağ Savunma nationalized the pan-tilt radar redirection unit. Meteksan is gearing up for a surprise regarding this radar.

Yes. Because asymetrical threat posed by small drones is a real thing. I expect an integrated drone detection and jamming network of sorts to be built in a decade or so. This network will first be installed over government facilities and later over all urban areas. Because those barbarians will, at some point, fly a drone rigged with explosives and shrapnel into a rush hour crowd at a bus stop or something.Will this help against the terrorist scum?
Should do fine against paramotors, I assume?

I would use them with SUNGUR/STINGER/İgla manpads or land platforms since they are compact and light.So Turkiye replaced all f16 radars even in last 30 batch that delivered around 2010 if i am correct than what all those 240 radars go ? Will they be destreoyed and all of those relatively modern radars go to bins ?
My idea was great if they can mount them on cheap drones and trainer aircrafts
Sadge but there will be a second iteration.@TheInsider Unfortunately, the pixel output is half of your previous estimate.
I guess, Aselsan gonna use when own developed MCT based LWIR sensor. It was shared previous nearly 20-30 page on sensor and detector side.

Karat and Toygun specs dropped.
@Afif what are the implications of KARAT being LWIR and TOYGUN being MWIR?
Could these two be used together to generate a weapons-grade track without using radar and therefore compromising stealth?
That might be true on a single IRST. But I was talking about cueing BOTH KARAT and TOYGUN on target and fusing their data to generate the track. Like how you need two eyes for depth awareness.However, the way I understood the principle of Infrared search and tracking, KARAT and Toygun completely on their own cannot provide full fire control solution without activating the laser range finder.

Actually, something like this, on a single aircraft:
This is not triangulation and you can determine distance with offset sensors from one system with a certain level of accuracyI know this technique. (Triangulation)
You can't have it from a single platform even if it has two sensors.

My mind went to cell tower triangulation, which requires 3 sources with a certain distance between them, that's my bad, but yes 2 points on a single device should suffice, depending on distance and resolution of sensors. Need to calculate the angle between vectors from two sensors to target, but at long range it may be that on both cameras target is only 1 pixel in same position so you can't calculate that differenceThat is triangulation
