Türkiye’s Aselsan upgrades Kizilelma combat drone with new electronic shield
Aselsan integrates its FEWS-U Electronic Warfare Suite, wraps Bayraktar Kizilelma in 360-degree threat detection and defense deployment system
ANKARA
Turkish defense firm Bayraktar’s Kizilelma unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) has successfully completed its first test flight while equipped with a new electronic shield designed to serve as a strategic force multiplier by Aselsan.
Aselsan integrated its FEWS-U Electronic Warfare Suite into Kizilelma to enhance its survival in the modern air warfare arena.
The system wraps the craft with a 360-degree electronic shield that can rapidly detect, diagnose, and locate the precise direction of incoming radar threats.
Once the system detects a threat, it automatically deploys targeted countermeasures to protect the craft.
The technology was adapted to meet the unique requirements and constraints of unmanned platforms.
