BUKALEMUN Draws Turkish Flag on Enemy Drones

ASELSAN, SAHA EXPO International Defense, Aviation and Aerospace Industry Fair held in Istanbul with the new generation anti-drone systems developed entirely with national capabilities. Among ASELSAN's anti-drone systems showcased at SAHA are the KORKUT 25 mm Close Air Defense System, BUKALEMUN GNSS Spoofing System, KANGAL FPV Anti-Drone System, and SEDA 100-Cuav Acoustic Drone Detection System. These ASELSAN systems developed against the drone threat, which is commonly used in the field of combat against the changing military conditions of today, will enhance the power of the heroic Mehmetcik. ASELSAN's solutions to the mini and micro drone threat, which is becoming a growing problem worldwide, are expected to attract great interest on the international stage. KORKUT 25 Unmanned Tower was primarily developed for armored land targets. KORKUT 25 stands out with its unique design aiming to neutralize mini and micro UAV threats in rural environments. KORKUT 25, equipped with 25mm fragment ammunition developed by ASELSAN, has functional and physical destruction capability against UAV threats after receiving information from external sensors. KORKUT 25 is designed to be suitable for all combat conditions with its gyroscopically stabilized structure, remote command feature, high-resolution infrared cameras, laser rangefinder, automatic target detection and tracking function, and advanced ballistic calculation with high shooting accuracy. KORKUT 25 significantly reduces vulnerability attacks caused by UAV threats while increasing the situational awareness of the shooter. BUKALEMUN System will be the eyes and ears of the security forces against the drone threats, which have become one of the most effective weapons of recent times. With the ability to spoof in GNSS bands, BUKALEMUN allows spoofing in Multi-GNSS bands. With BUKALEMUN, the first system known in this class, spoofing can be successfully carried out over relatively long distances within static and dynamic (integrated with radar-like target positioning systems) scenarios. ASELSAN President Ahmet Akyol commented, "With the ASELSAN BUKALEMUN System, we can spoof in static and dynamic (spoofing) over all GNSS bands. By distorting the current location of the target UAV, we can display the desired location and route (even our crescent-star) on the UAV operator's control/telemetry screen. In the photos we shared, you can see the reaction of a well-known Multi-GNSS receiver to spoofing; similarly, this effect can be observed in well-known commercial Mini/Micro UAVs and even in devices with GNSS dependency (such as cell phones)." ASELSAN's game-changing technology developed KANGAL FPV provides protection against Drone/Mini UAVs for military facilities, bases, government buildings, high-ranking official residences, parade grounds, and checkpoints by being integrated into security forces vehicles. As FPV-class UAV threats become increasingly common, especially observed during the Russia-Ukraine war. The products in this threat class pose a serious risk to target cluster units/bases/critical facilities as well as people and land vehicles. It is essential to neutralize FPV threats with countermeasure systems. In this context, with the developed KANGAL-FPV System by ASELSAN, FPV threats can be eliminated with electronic attack methods carried out. The Warning System, developed to neutralize mini and micro UAV threats in urban and rural environments, is used in the protection of critical facilities and base areas, border security, public safety, and the protection of crowded organizations. With the integrated SEDA 100-cUAV System, additional capability is provided for the detection of mini/micro UAVs. The SEDA 100-cUAV System stands out as a system that detects fixed-wing and rotary-wing UAV threats, including FPVs, in different ranges by listening to the environment with its precise designated and placed microphones. This system can detect UAVs at longer ranges compared to its counterparts.
