Welcome! I am Ahmet, Ahmet Akyol, the CEO of ASELSAN from Turkey
0:40
ASELSAN is one of the leading defense companies of Turkey. ASELSAN was established in 1975 to produce national radio systems to meet military requirements of our armed forces
0:56
We have been evolving to do a technology giant in these years
1:02
Today we are in Paris Eurocentre exhibition and we are happy to come together with international players
1:12
In this exhibition we are showcasing our electronic warfare, radar and communication products
1:23
Also we are showcasing our border security equipment and also air defense
1:30
Layered air defense is one of our crucial areas which we are showcasing some of our products in this
1:37
Air defense is one of the crucial military areas because especially in recent years drones, swarm attacks, loitering munitions are increasing in the battlefield
1:49
So layered air defense is coming very crucial for all countries. As of ASELSAN we have been working on this domain for about 30 years and we have now a concept which we call SkyDome
2:07
Starting from drone, anti-drone systems from maybe 1 km range and to the long range air defense to 100 plus km range
2:20
So now we have completed our solution. We have got anti-drone systems, very short range air defense systems, short range systems and also medium and long range systems
2:33
So starting from our IHTAR and SHAHIN products from the anti-drone systems and following KORKUT systems and HISAR, ANO and SPARE systems to complement this solution
2:50
We have got our early warning radar family, ALT family. It helps armed forces to control airspace and also we have got our own command and control systems at the center of this solution
3:05
So we can provide full solution package for allied countries in air defense domain
3:14
These layered air defense systems consist of many different air defense systems
3:19
One solution is KORKUT air defense systems. So this KORKUT air defense system is deployed to Turkish armed forces and it is being used actively by our armed forces
3:32
This system is tracked vehicle version. Now we are showcasing wheeled version of this KORKUT air defense systems
3:41
In this KORKUT air defense system we have got smart ammunition based solution, 35 mm air burst ammunition which is also developed and produced by ASELSAN
3:54
So in this solution it is very cost effective to eliminate swarm drones and kamikaze drones and also loitering munitions in for about 4 or 5 kilometers range in a cost effective way
4:10
So you can eliminate these systems by using missiles also. But in terms of this new threat evolution in this drone domains, it is very effective to use this smart ammunition based solution
4:26
But the main idea is to eliminate new threats by using this cost effective mobile concept
4:33
This is the idea. So we are very happy to showcase this new solution in this huge exhibition and to show our capabilities to international partners
4:43
In this exhibition, this exhibition allows us to engage with international partners as well as regional partners and also end users
4:54
And so nowadays especially in European region, facing with these drone threats is very crucial due to the Ukraine-Russia war
5:08
So our solution, KORKUT solution is very effective against these kind of swarm drones and also loitering munitions and also kamikaze drones
5:23
And we have got naval version of this system which we call GOKTENIZ
5:28
And we have signed three international contracts for GOKTENIZ. And now we are working on some contracts for this land version
5:39
So I can say to protect our borders and protect our crucial facilities, KORKUT air defense system and GOKTENIZ naval air defense systems is one of the most cost effective and advanced solution
5:54
And I advise all international partners and allied countries to come and to see this solution
6:01
And we are ready to make some real trails for them and we are very happy to finalize this solution and to deploy this to Turkish Armed Forces and allied countries
6:13
This is our expectation. For more information about KORKUT, visit www.korpus.com
