ASELSAN’s AESA Radar on Flight Test on F-16 Özgür
ASELSAN's indigenous AESA Aircraft Nose Radar made its first flight with the F-16 ÖZGÜR platform. ASELSAN shared a post on social media and announced that the homegrown AESA Aircraft Nose Radar made its first flight with the F-16 ÖZGÜR platform. The first flight of the ASELSAN AESA Aircraft Nose Radar was carried out on February 15, 2024. The AESA Radar will start its flights with AKINCI UCAV shortly. Flights will be carried out in 2024 after integrating with other jet aircraft and UAVs. AESA Radar has automatic recognition, multiple target tracking, location mapping, distance measurement, automatic altitude determination, under-cloud surveillance with SAR, automatic target limitation with artificial intelligence-supported algorithms, broadband radar spectrum monitoring (ESM), directional electronic jamming (ECM) and ability to provide more effective guidance to ammunition.

Anka-III Performs Third Flight with an Endurance of Two Hours
ANKA-III, which made its first flight on December 28, 2023, took off for the third time and flew for two hours. According to the information the Anadolu Agency correspondent received, ANKA-III UCAV met the sky for the third time. ANKA-III, which flew for two hours in its last flight, reached a speed of 160 knots and rose to an altitude of 10 thousand feet. ANKA III thus improved all flight values. Autopilot and flight mechanics tests were also carried out during the flight. There is no information whether the landing gears were retracted. Following the evaluations of each flight test, new performance and mission envelopes will be opened for ANKA-III, and efforts will be made to prepare the platform for the mission. Development efforts for ANKA-III started in 2022. The system requirements were frozen after the System Requirements Review Meeting in March of the same year. The Preliminary Design Review (PDR) meeting held in April 2022 determined the exterior geometry design. Design studies were carried out for the changing subsystems, especially the new propulsion system, of ANKA-III, whose basic avionics architecture is common with ANKA and AKSUNGUR. The Critical Design Review (CDR) Phase began in October 2022. In November 2022, the first detailed part of the aircraft production was carried out.
