Bayraktar TB2 Flies with ASELSAN's ANTIDOT 2-U/S ESM Pod TurDef
Baykar’s Bayraktar TB2 UAV has gained a new capability in the electronic warfare field with the integration of ASELSAN’s ANTIDOT 2-U/S electronic support pod.
Following ANTIDOT 2-U LB/MB/HB mini-EW pod and ANTIDOT 3-U mini-EW pod against UAV data links and GNSS, Bayraktar TB2’s capabilities have seen a new addition with ANTIDOT 2-U/S to provide more extensive electronic support capabilities.
ANTIDOT 2-U/S can detect, identify, and locate signals from enemy radars. The pod has a power consumption of 300 W, which can be satisfied by tactical UAVs and UCAVs.
As the mounting is performed on weapon pylons, ANTIDOT 2-U/S can be quickly fitted before the mission, provided the integration work has been completed beforehand.
Detection and location capabilities against radars will increase the survivability of Bayraktar TB2 and other UAVs in the presence of enemy air defence systems by providing early warning. Munitions can be directed to destroy the air defence threats with the obtained location, giving a cheaper alternative for SEAD/DEAD operations.
Additionally, the recording feature can play an important role in intelligence, ultimately contributing to more refined and aware strategies.
