ASELSAN Started Production at Its New Radar Integration Center.
ASELSAN has made significant progress in AESA-based radar technologies in recent years and has become one of the world's leading radar design and production centers. Consequently, it has achieved significant momentum, especially in international orders.
In order to meet this increased demand, ASELSAN launched the Radar Integration Center, which was established with an investment of 50 million US dollars at the beginning of this year and achieved a significant increase in capacity and efficiency.
Moreover, in line with the planned orders and growth targets, the construction of an additional facility which will triple the company's current radar production capacity began this year. This facility, which will feature a total indoor area of 73,000 m2, is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027.

There is another news I would like to relate to this:

Görgün: "Modernization of Airborne Warning Control aircraft is not something that everyone can do. We have achieved this. More will follow"

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1879132795852947523

ADVENT and subsequently the KARTAL Air Warning and Command Control System program arguably provided major capability gains, particularly in terms of network-centric joint operations capability. On the other hand, breakthroughs continue in EW system technologies and radar systems by Aselsan. At some point, all these will come together as a new AEWC platform under Turkish defense industry catalog.


In addition, Mr. Zafer Özkan from Havelsan gives important clues about Havelsan's roadmap in the video below. He also stated in this video that Havelsan is also preparing on the AI-Human cognitive interface. This technology will be especially critical for next-generation combat jets.

kinda remind me of the how the Swedish one.

 

[Huelague]

Can a radar system detect the altitude and speed of an object?

 

[Huelague]

Let’s assume it is possible
A stealth object, which seen on radar with a RCS of a gulf ball, on an altitude of 5km with 800km/h, can never been a gulf ball or a bird. So, it’s clear for the operator, a stealth jet is coming…

Yeah but at any given time, the computer must process hundreds of thousands of objects and sort out the different one. Software isn't magic. There will be electronic warfare, bugs, hardware failures, weather... You name it. Though I absolutely think correct application of AI can ultimately fix this. And even the ballistic missile defense problem would be a solvable issue in my opinion.

The integration of ASELSAN's Radio Navigation Equipment ARVEN into HÜRJET has been completed.
ASELSAN ARVEN also successfully took part in HÜRJET, which Turkish Air Forces Commander General Ziya Cemal Kadıoğlu flew.
With a modular infrastructure that can be easily integrated into helicopters, aircraft and UAVs, ARVEN is composed of:
VHF Omni-Directional Range,
Instrument Landing System,
Glideslope,
Marker Beacon,
Automatic Direction Finder,
Distance Measuring Equipment
Tactical Air Navigation Radio Transceivers.

FULMAR 200-A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for UCAVs from ASELSAN!
— Aircraft integration of FULMAR 200-A continues, it will start flying with a Turkish UAV this year
— Turkey's lightest, least power-consuming SAR solution
— Factory tests have been completed, different configurations will come after integration

For a drone like TB2 a range off 88NM is perfect, brochure says it is X-band possibility to guide a missile or asking to much ?

 

[zio]

helicopter detection is added.

 

[I_Love_F16]

helicopter detection is added.

What are the difference between MURAD 100-A and 110-A ?

 

[zio]

What are the difference between MURAD 100-A and 110-A ?

As I said helicopter detection,thats very difficult for fighters when look down because ground based scutter effect,although not mentioned on this leaflet aselsan says murat radar has some AI to suggest most suitable target to pliot .The other differences between 100 and 110-A is - 1_time inrleaved operation,2_ Digital beam forming but at sub array level,3_ cued search.

It is nice to see that after getting the gist of AESA radar, aselsan keep further enhancing the capabilities.

I assume it won't be an issue to develop and produce aesa flight radars for us anymore.

 

[zio]

If we get T-link between fighters and warships,cenk aesa radar can do volume search with more power and more effective S band,than fighters FCR can look for a certain area more effectively and can track more rapidly,because volume search needs time.Awacs can not fly on front lines but warships can do it.

Aselflir-600 to fly in May.

There is no difference between aselflir 500 and 600 on laser illumination etc..both 35km.

Production and testing of gimbaled electro-optical systems and vision systems are carried out at the Akyurt campus. In this context, production processes for CATS, Aselflir-300T, Aselflir-400/410, Aselflir-500, ASELPOD, Ahtapot, Piri-100, Akrep, Kırlangıç, Martı EO systems and sub-assemblies are ongoing.

In the coming period, the Production Hall is planned to be configured as an EO Systems Production Center with the increase in the demands of years. the existing systems and the new systems to be included in the production portfolio.

In this context, Aselflir-600, Aselflir-8/10, Toygun-100/200/300, Pirana, Karat-100/200, ASELPOD-200/300, Ahtapot-2, Kırlangıç-2, Piri-200 systems are planned to be added to the production portfolio.

The facility was implemented with an investment of 40 Million USD and an additional investment of 30 Million USD is planned to be made next 3 years.


I quoted this from the Aselsan investor representation. Aselflir-8/10 should be a LWIR FLIR which will replace Aselflir-300T that operates in the 8-10µm band
It should have a detector similar to Leanordo Hawk LWIR (MCT instead of QWIP) with a higher resolution.

Leonardo Electronics US, Hawk LWIR detector provides the highest environmental integrity along with the superior performance of focal plane detectors.
