Zitat:AselPOD: New eyes for Turkey’s phantoms, vipers
Aselsan, the leading defence electronics company in Turkey, and one of the 100 largest in the world, has completed the prototype production of its new generation targeting pod, dubbed “AselPOD”.
In late 2010 the company started its integration works on TuAF’s F-4E 2020 aircraft in cooperation with 1st Air Supply and Maintenance Centre Command (1st ASMC) of the Turkish Air Force (TuAF). Integration works will be verified with ground and flight tests on both F-4E 2020 and F-16 Block 40 aircraft. According to sources, as of March 2011, integration works on the F-4E 2020s have been completed and ground vibration tests went without hitch. A TuAF F-4E 2020 aircraft fitted with AselPOD performed its first test flight last April.
