And acc. to the CEO they've signed deals for it with 12 countries already...

Aselsan is going to have stiff competition from Baykartech once their E/O division starts producing. Also, didn't Baykartech help in the development of AselFlir-500 ?

NEW ELECTRONIC WARFARE PODS FROM ASELSAN AT SAHA EXPO 2024 1732971099632.png

ASELSAN has unveiled its latest electronic warfare pods, ANTIDOT 2-U LB/MB/HB, ANTIDOT 2-U, and ANTIDOT 2-U/S, on the second day of SAHA EXPO. These pods transform UAVs into powerful electronic warfare platforms, highlighting ASELSAN's advanced engineering and global expertise in electronic warfare technology.

ASELSAN, Türkiye’s leading defense company, has introduced its new electronic warfare pods with the participation of the Secretary of Defense Industries, Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün and ASELSAN President & CEO, Ahmet Akyol. These pods empower UAVs in terms of detection and classification of any air defense threat in addition to jamming capabilities. These pods do not only protect the UAVs carrying them but also safeguard other friendly air assets operating nearby.

ASELSAN's cutting-edge ANTIDOT 2-U system turns tactical UAVs into electronic warfare weapons, providing protection against air defense systems and supporting critical missions. ANTIDOT 2-U LB/MB/HB system identifies and defends against air defense threats, with escort jamming capability to protect nearby air assets. ANTIDOT 2-U/S system detects, records, and locates signals from threat radars, ensuring precise threat identification and location.

ANTIDOT 2-U system provides UAVs with protection against air defense systems and contributes to the successful fulfillment of critical missions. The system can be seamlessly integrated into all UAVs capable of carrying UAV munitions such as MAM-L, allowing users to decide whether to mount ammunition or the POD on any pylon prior to the mission ensuring no compromise on mission flexibility.

The fully autonomous system uses loaded electronic attack techniques to suppress and deceive air defense radars. With high output power, wide frequency, and angle coverage, it protects UAVs and friendly assets from RF threats. Weighing just 45kg and operating at 1100W, it can be installed on tactical-class UAVs without converting them into special mission aircraft, enhancing their capabilities.

ANTIDOT 2-U LB/MB/HB is a compact electronic warfare system with both support and attack capabilities, designed to detect and neutralize air defense systems while protecting its platform and nearby assets with escort jamming. It allows UAVs to approach targets within munition range undetected. Lightweight and versatile, it integrates easily with UAVs equipped for MAM-L ammunition, offering flexible mounting options. Multiple pods can be fitted based on mission needs. The system weighs 11kg, operates at 380W, and comes in various versions (LB/MB/HB) for different threats.

ANTIDOT 2-U/S electronic support system detects, identifies, and records signals from threat air defense radars, accurately determining their direction and location. Data is instantly sent to the Ground Control Station via the UAV's communication line. Designed for easy integration onto tactical-class UAVs, the system enhances situational awareness in the electromagnetic spectrum without risking lives, offering cost-effective operations. Weighing 30kg and operating at 400W, it functions fully autonomously.
