Türkiye’s Aselsan Reveals Advanced Defense Technologies
(MENAFN) At the International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF 2025), held this week in Istanbul, the Turkish defense company Aselsan presented a series of innovative systems intended to be incorporated into Türkiye’s multi-tiered Steel Dome air defense infrastructure.
Speaking on Tuesday, the firm's CEO, Ahmet Akyol, announced the introduction of several new electromagnetic-based technologies. Among the highlights was the unveiling of the Ejderha system — a specialized air defense platform engineered to counter threats such as kamikaze and swarm drones.
“We are showcasing the electromagnetic shield of the Steel Dome for the first time on the international stage,” Akyol stated.
“This is a technology that can physically disable electronic circuits of aerial vehicles when they enter a certain range — approximately a kilometer.”
This marks the global debut of this capability, which relies on high-energy electronic waves to disable airborne targets within a specified radius.
Akyol further explained that the Ejderha will serve as a crucial defensive layer, complementing an upgraded version of Aselsan’s existing Koral electronic warfare system.
This enhanced Koral unit is designed to interfere with and distort the radar systems of enemy assets, “opening up a highway of sorts for our aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against air defense systems — now with around twofold performance versus the already existing Koral.”
He also introduced the Turan system, which is based on artificial intelligence and will operate in harmony with the Steel Dome.
This AI-driven framework will connect and coordinate all components of the air defense array via a unified command network.
Additionally, Aselsan has developed the Gurz system — an autonomous missile defense platform that will function as an unmanned ground unit, enhancing the overall effectiveness and automation of the country’s air defense capabilities.
