In a significant advancement for defense technology, ASELSAN, a prominent Turkish defense firm, has launched the KORKUT 100/25 SB, a cutting-edge mobile counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (C-UAV). This innovative system is specifically engineered to target an array of aerial threats ranging from reconnaissance quadcopters to loitering munitions, thus enhancing the capabilities of military forces in the face of evolving aerial warfare challenges.
The KORKUT 100/25 SB is a product of the company’s established KORKUT self-propelled anti-aircraft gun family. It combines the benefits of mobility with precise targeting and robust layered defense mechanisms. This integration is designed to address a critical gap in military capabilities—bridging the divide between traditional small arms fire and high-cost missile interceptors. With its adaptable and efficient approach, the KORKUT 100/25 SB offers a more scalable and cost-effective solution for managing lower-end aerial threats, which have become increasingly prevalent in modern combat scenarios.
The new system is poised to revolutionize the way military units engage with and neutralize unmanned aerial threats. As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) become more sophisticated and numerous on the battlefield, the need for effective and economical countermeasures has intensified. The KORKUT 100/25 SB’s advanced technology and operational versatility ensure that it is well-equipped to meet these challenges head-on.
This development marks a strategic advancement in Turkey’s defense capabilities, underscoring ASELSAN’s commitment to innovation and responsiveness to contemporary security needs. As the landscape of aerial warfare continues to change, systems like the KORKUT 100/25 SB will play a vital role in maintaining a competitive edge in military operations.
