ASELSAN Completes YILDIRIM 100 DIRCM’s Tests for Helicopters TurDef
ASELSAN shared the test footage of YILDIRIM 100 Directed Infrared Countermeasure (DIRCM) set to be integrated on helicopters against various MANPADS threats.
Demonstration of YILDIRIM 100 against MANPADS missiles, which represent the greatest threat to helicopters, marks an important progress in not only upgrading the survivability of helicopters as a follow-up to the HEWS.
Whereas HEWS uses sensory information gathered from missile warning and RF receivers and utilises jammers or dispensed countermeasures, YILDIRIM 100 uses small laser turrets also directed by warning systems to jam the infrared seekers by sending out beams, causing a loss of guidance.
YILDIRIM 100 is capable of tracking and jamming multiple incoming missiles with a dual-turret layout. The multi-band laser provides effectiveness against MANPADS of different types, as seen in the test.
