ASELSAN’s New Air Defense System Enters Service Against Drone Threats
ASELSAN, a leading Turkish defense company, has added the KORKUT 100/25 SB UAV Physical Interception System to its range of solutions developed to combat mini and micro unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which have emerged as one of the most pressing threats in contemporary warfare.
KORKUT 100/25 SB Integrated with EJDER YALÇIN 4×4
The company’s social media accounts recently featured test footage of the KORKUT 100/25 SB integrated into the EJDER YALÇIN 4×4 Tactical Wheeled Armored Vehicle. These tests demonstrated the system’s capability to neutralize various drone threats effectively.
Cost-Effective and Efficient Solution
The KORKUT 100/25 SB weapon system, developed by ASELSAN, coupled with the particle-effect ATOM 25 ammunition, offers a cost-effective alternative to meet the growing demand for security solutions. This system is particularly adept at preventing ammunition waste while maintaining high target destruction rates, especially when dealing with intense and low-cost threats such as swarm drone attacks.
Advanced Capabilities for Rapid Response
Equipped with remote control, advanced electro-optics, computer-controlled fire control algorithms, and automatic target orientation, the KORKUT 100/25 SB system ensures a rapid response to threats. Its high rate of fire and low recoil advantages make it exceptionally effective against small-sized targets.
Versatile Integration and ATOM 25 Ammunition
The system boasts a wide range of integration options, from wheeled vehicles to fixed installations. The particle-effect ATOM 25 ammunition, unlike traditional munitions, eliminates the need for a direct hit. Instead, it neutralizes targets with a cloud of particles. ATOM 25 detonates at a programmed time in front of the target, scattering high-energy particles to neutralize highly maneuverable small UAVs and drones. This feature significantly enhances destruction rates compared to conventional systems.
Enhancing Layered Air Defense
ASELSAN’s KORKUT 100/25 SB solution provides a crucial complement to layered air defense capabilities, bolstering national security against evolving aerial threats.
