From İbrahim Sünnetçi's interview with Aselsan CEO Akyol:

"While flights continue with the MURAD AESA Nose Radar, production is also ongoing. We have already started their production. So there are only optimization issues from now on. And all the important functions have been implemented. Although it depends on the comments and experiences of the end user, we think that MURAD can be operational on fighter jets after 2 years."

"This year we launched the YILDIRIM-100 DIRCM product. It entered NATO trials. For the first time, Turkey participated in NATO trials with its own product in the field of Electronic Warfare Self Protection System. When I say real firing, I mean that there are real demo firings, missiles are fired at NATO(exercises). Only countries that can do DIRCM can participate."

"The ASELFLIR-500 was exported to a fourth country last week. We are only in the third month."

"ASELPOD Targeting Pod was exported to three countries, Pakistan, Nigeria and Iraq. ASELPOD II is currently being worked on."

"For GÖKTÜRK III (Earth Observation Satellite), we will be delivering not only the SAR antenna, but also the complete SAR Payload... We are also making a space-launched version of SAR in different modes and equipped with advanced image processing algorithms. Of course, there is a complete change of discipline that comes with going into space. But in the end, we built SARPER. Now we are exhibiting the SAR pod. We have this technology. Our next goal is to carry this to the space environment and make it suitable for the satellite in terms of scale..."

🕹️ASELSAN’s Infrared Missile Warning System, IRIS 200 👁️

Is there anyone who knows difference between uv based and infrared based missile warning systems.Aselsan have got uv based MWS for heli,but they prefer IR based systems for aircrafts.If we have yıldırım DIRCM,elektronik war suite supported with machine learning and towed decoy,our F16s one of the most protected in the world.

Open architecture multi purpose AESA radar from what I gather. It can be easily scaled for different aircraft, easier and cheaper to mass produce and its software can easily be upgraded. More importantly, it is a radar, EW system and communication system rolled into one. At least that's what Northrop claims. Someone with more technical knowledge could explain it better.

Your normal modern AESA then

As I said, someone with more technical knowledge can explain it better than me, its just what I read. There is probably more to it than what I read as it is a new project. Oh, its software can be upgraded even if the plane is flying at the time as well iirc.

That might be the only new feature in this thing, as far as AESA radars concerned.

The form factor in the picture leads me to believe that this could be used for peripheral radar coverage. Similar to our KAAN's 360 degree radar arrays.

As @Sanchez said, I think it being modular and (supposedly) more cost effective to build is its biggest selling point.

What you see at the arrow is an anti-reflective coated germanium lens, that is; it is a long-wavelength infrared camera behind it. The curvature of the lens also indicates that it is a wide-angle lens. Several of these are distributed along the fuselage, making it part of an electro-optical distributed aperture system (EO-DAS). That is, a set of IR cameras for 360-degree electro-optical imaging forming the base of the passive self-protection suit.

However, I'm puzzled as to why it is placed so close to the engine.

Ps. search for germanium lens in your favourite search engine.
