ALP-600G fixed ground (early warning?) radar on top right of the graphic.

Our most comprehensive look to "Steel Dome" yet, with few never announced systems littered in, from C4 Defence's latest cover.

So after some scanning of "what other types of radar exist"

ALP 150-G/P is likely a passive radar (I mean P should stand for something right)
ALP 400-G is likely a low-frequency radar to complement ALP 300-G (Upon inspection of Russian-made low-frequency radars)

I'd love to see something like this on Altay with a CIWS, something like Venom with 30mm ATOM.

Not realistic imo.

No, it isn't; but it also shouldn't be impossible with some modifications.

Full on CIWS? Not for now

Against UAVs/LMs? Yeah, I mean thats anong the main ideas for VENOM LR but we still need a dual feed TRAKON

Well, we have almost everything we need ready and in use on other products, we just need to adapt them.

Gökdeniz has auto target tracking and engagement and Gürz has AESA radar plates to detect targets, along with a targeting radar. If these can be modified/adapted, it could work. AESA plates on the corners of the tank like Gürz and fire control radar on the turret, perhaps a modified smaller version that works lets say within a kilometre instead of tracking further out like it normally would on a ship.

Already mentioned Venom, perhaps the barrel could be shortened as long as it can hit targets (again) within a kilometre of the tank, other than that it could work great. It's barrel is 30 or 40 cm longer than an M2, so just brining it back down to that length could help with the turret.

Now, I'm not a big fan of Unirobotics, so I'd prefer if Aselsan modified one of their turrets to be more compact and work with Venom. They have a KPV version of Sarp, KPV is almost as long as Venom but weighs about half of it. Maybe a modification of that could work, with a small fire control radar on top.

It's obviously just guesswork on what we have, but parts of what might become a system that could protect our tanks is out there like Lego pieces, waiting to be put together by experts, imo.

The most technologically feasible option to make a CIWS out of 30x113s would be integrating it with AKKOR's sensors but the those tiny ATGMs have to be detected pretty early by the radar so that the slower turning RCWS can take aim before things are left to AKKOR launchers. Maybe when we have quicker turning RCWSs and more powerful electronics, thats what I actually meant.

Can't we use bigger radar arrays w/more power rather than a quicker RCWS (which is probably harder to do)

These arrays would be smaller than Aura of course but still big enough to detect/track incoming ATGMs coupled with EO systems
