The company is also developing Hakim, a higher-level command-and-control solution designed to coordinate the systems within Steel Dome, along with sensor systems and communication solutions.
Aselsan said Türkiye’s air defence capability is being built through the company’s technological know-how accumulated over more than half a century.
Steel Dome, which continues to gain new capabilities, is being strengthened with new components, the company added.
Siper 2 completes firing test
Meanwhile, the new version of the Siper long-range air defence system, Siper 2, completed its latest firing test.
“The distributed architecture-based, long-range regional air and missile defence system Siper 2, which plays a critical role at the strategic level, successfully destroyed a manoeuvring target,” Turkish Defence Industries Secretary Haluk Gorgun wrote on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal.
“The Siper 2 system will assume duties at longer ranges and higher altitudes compared to Siper 1, playing an effective role in air and missile defence,” Gorgun added.
