AI-generated summary
ASELSAN, as one of Türkiye's leading defense industry companies, regularly takes part in TEKNOFEST events. In addition to exhibiting local and national defense systems, the company aims to increase young people's interest in technology.
ASELSAN, one of the important stakeholders of TEKNOFEST, meets with young people and technology enthusiasts in Şanlıurfa. Exhibiting its advanced technology solutions throughout the event, ASELSAN offers visitors a pleasant journey of discovery with experience sections prepared for children and young people.
ASELSAN introduces its visitors to its wide product family, ranging from the sky to land platforms, from the depths of the seas to precision guidance systems. The stand includes TULGAR, ASELFLIR 600, LGK, HGK, TOLUN, KILIÇ and DERİNGÖZ systems.
ÇELİKKUBBE Digital Space provides the opportunity to get to know Turkey's multi-layered air defense architecture closely. In the open exhibition section, HİSAR, GÖKBERK, GÜRZ, KORKUT, YENER, EJDERHA and GÖKALP systems are presented to the visitors. Thus, national defense capabilities developed against different threats can be examined together.
ÇELİKKUBBE: ÇELİKKUBBE, in which ASELSAN is the main actor, draws attention as an integrated layered air defense architecture that combines air defense systems at different altitudes under a network structure, developed by Turkey with domestic and national resources.
TULGAR: Helmet Mounted Display System TULGAR not only has a wide field of view thanks to its advanced technology optical design, but also supports pilots during the mission by projecting high-resolution images onto the visor. TULGAR, which stands out with its digital night vision and color screen capability, can perform precise head tracking.
ASELFLIR 600: High-performance electro-optical reconnaissance, surveillance and targeting system ASELFLIR 600 provides clear imaging and target detection even in difficult weather conditions, thanks to its advanced infrared and day vision cameras, laser designator and sensitive stabilized gimbal structure. ASELFLIR 600 was developed for various platforms, especially UAV/SIHA/TIHA platforms.
LGK: LGK is a laser guidance kit that transforms 500 lb class MK-82 and 250 kg class OFAB-250T bombs into cost-effective and highly reliable smart ammunition. LGK provides higher hit accuracy against fixed/moving targets, increased shooting envelope, lower secondary damage and the ability to change targets after shooting.
HGK: HGK is a precision guidance kit that converts MK-84, MK-84-T, NEB and NEB-T free-fall bombs into highly reliable air-ground smart munitions. The guidance kit has its own integrated control system including inertial navigation system and global positioning system.
TOLUN: TOLUN ammunition is designed to be integrated into various aerial platforms, especially unmanned aerial vehicles. In this way, users can use the ammunition in a wide range of operations in accordance with different mission profiles.
KILIÇ: KILIÇ, as an Autonomous Kamikaze Underwater System, creates a multiplier effect in the Blue Homeland against fixed targets with its destruction warheads. KILIÇ, which has anti-jam systems, saves the image it takes in its memory after getting close enough to the target with its internal navigation system. Even if communication with the control center is lost, KILIÇ completes the operation successfully thanks to the image of the target it has stored in its memory.
DERİNGÖZ 300: DERİNGÖZ 300 draws attention as an autonomous underwater vehicle that can be used for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes. Working with a modular system architecture, DERINGÖZ can operate up to 24 hours with an expandable battery. Payload configurations of DERİNGÖZ, which has wireless communication capability, can be increased as needed.
HİSAR: HİSAR was developed by ASELSAN as a surface-to-air missile defense system. Among the ÇELİKKUBBE components, the HİSAR family includes the low altitude air defense missile system HİSAR-A/HİSAR-A + and the medium altitude air defense missile system HİSAR-O/HİSAR-O+.
GÖKBERK: GÖKBERK was designed to operate within a layered air defense architecture. Directed energy-based GÖKBERK provides physical destruction effectiveness against targets with a laser weapon.
GÜRZ: GÜRZ creates an impenetrable shield in the sky with its cannon and missile systems combined on a single armored platform. Designed to protect mobile units, military convoys and critical facilities against low-altitude air threats, the multi-purpose hybrid system makes a difference in its class with its high firepower and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
KORKUT: KORKUT stands out as a mobile air defense system developed by ASELSAN against low altitude air threats. System; It offers an effective solution against UAV, helicopter and low-flying fixed-wing targets.
EJDERHA: Anti-UAV Countermeasure System EJDERHA was developed as a system solution with directed energy technology that neutralizes the electronic components/systems of Drone Mini/Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles by generating high-power electromagnetic waves with vacuum electronics technology, positioned on a mobile platform.
YENER: YENER, which can detect threats of different types and sizes even in different soil types thanks to its new generation radar algorithms, makes a difference with its remote control feature. YENER, which has automatic calibration capability according to different soil regions, is used in the detection and identification of mine and IED targets.
Tekno Adventure, which was implemented by ASELSAN to increase children's interest in science and discovery, is among the notable stops of the event with its 500 square meter section. In the Göbeklitepe themed section, children learn and discover by directly interacting with fun and educational activities.
The journey of discovery, which begins with curiosity in childhood, turns into production with the projects of young people in TEKNOFEST competitions. While young competitors transform their ideas into concrete works, they look for answers to real problems and have the opportunity to experience end-to-end engineering processes. ASELSAN enables young people to develop their competencies through the competitions it supports.
ASELSAN conducted many competitions within the scope of TEKNOFEST. Artificial Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Competitions in Aviation brought together many talented young people in Diyarbakır. TEKNOFEST excitement also moved to Mardin. The systems developed by university students made the audience proud in the Unmanned Ground Vehicles competition held in Mardin.
