ALP-300G Early Warning Radar Delivered to TAF
ASELSAN CEO Ahmet Akyol announced that ALP-300G (Formerly TEİRS and ERALP) mobile early warning radar has been delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces. ALP-300G, carried by 8x8 tactical wheeled vehicles, will be important in ground-based early warning and the SİPER long-range air defence system as the main searching radar. Secretary of Turkish Defence Industries Haluk Görgün made the following statements regarding some of the important features of ALP-300G reported by NTV. Görgün underlined that the radar has more than 4000 T/R modules and can receive reflection before a turn is completed. Additionally, the radar can send a ‘clarification signal’ to determine the position of a target more precisely. ALP-300G uses GaN-based AESA technology and can operate in a fixed orientation or turn to perform 360-degree scans. The radar has been developed to detect and track aircraft, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and low-RCS airborne targets. The mobile radar carried by an 8x8 vehicle can be readied in 30 minutes and includes built-in test systems. ASELSAN’s other recent products in the field of AESA radars include CENK-S searching radar for I-class frigates, MURAD radar for fighter jets and AKINCI UCAV, and ALP multi-role radar for SİPER air defence system.

ASELSAN Joins EFES-2024 Exercise
ASELSAN will display more than 70 of its defence products in the EFES-2024 exercise conducted in İzmir. The products in the exhibition include: The ASELFLIR-600 EO system. MİLKAR-3A3 electronic attack system. SURALP weapon locating radar. AURA multi-purpose AESA radar. ASELSAN’s systems, like KORKUT 35 mm SPAAG, are also used during the exercise. ASELFLIR-600 was previously displayed during TEKONFEST 2023 İzmir. The large-sized EO system with higher performance than ASELFLIR-500 is being developed for AKINCI and AKSUNGUR UCAVs. SURALP weapon locating radar is in service with the Turkish Land Forces. The radar can detect rocket, artillery shell, and mortar (RAM) threats up to a range of 250 km. SURALP’s trajectory-finding capabilities are important for a precise and immediate counter-fire. AURA is being developed as a small, multi-use radar. The AESA radar will be able to detect UAVs and low-flying aircraft at longer ranges and have provisions for multi-faced use. Additionally, the radar will have a secondary detection capability against RAM threats. EFES-2024 Exercise is conducted in İzmir with participation from 48 countries, making it among the largest in Europe in terms of scale.

ÇAKIR Cruise Missile Enters Serial Production
ROKETSAN’s ÇAKIR compact cruise missile for a variety of platforms has entered serial production, according to Spain-based news site Defensa. Production will likely start not only for Turkiye but also for the export customer(s), as at least one deal was signed for export in 2023.

ÇAKIR was tested for the first time in 2023 spring from an AKINCI UCAV. In 2024’s first quarter, the missile successfully hit a target at sea using its IIR seeker. In time, ÇAKIR will be integrated into fighter jets, naval platforms, and ROKETSAN’s BARBAROS coastal defence complex.

ÇAKIR, with a range of 150 km, offers various guidance and warhead options to fulfil different needs. The seeker options include IIR, RF, Hybrid (RF+IIR), and swarm sensor; three options for the 70 kg warhead are available: HE-FRAG, penetrating-shaped charge, and thermobaric. In Turkish service, ÇAKIR is expected to be used by the Air Force, Navy, and the National Intelligence Agency.

The first export customer might have ordered the missile for AKINCI UCAVs because the UCAV is the first platform to fire the missile. A surface-launched missile version will follow as design changes like booster and folding fins will be made.

GÜRZ Air Defence System Spotted in TRNC Parade
ASELSAN’s GÜRZ hybrid air defence system has been spotted in a parade conducted in the TRNC for the 50th anniversary of Cyprus Peace Operation. The gun-missile air defence system onboard a Seyit 8x8 truck of Anadolu Savunma was present in the parade, displaying various ground vehicles.

Turkiye has made a large-scale exhibition of its new defence equipment with the arrival of AKINCI UCAVs, TCG İstanbul (F515) frigate’s appearance and GÜRZ in TRNC. GÜRZ is set to serve in the Turkish Armed Forces as a solution combining a 35 mm gun capable of firing ATOM airburst munition and two types of short-range missiles. The first missile will be GÖKSUR (BOZDOĞAN AAM variant) or HİSAR-A for a range of approximately 15 km, while the other will be a smaller CLOS-type missile with low cost. The sensor suite consists of four AESA radar panels (Likely to be AURA) and a fire control radar with onboard EO/IR. The 360-degree coverage of AESA radar panels is an advantage in asymmetric scenarios like kamikaze UAV attacks.
