ASELSAN Signature on ALTAY Tank

Tanks to be produced within the scope of ASELSAN's ALTAY Mass Production Project; Fire Control System, Electric Gun and Turret Recovery System, Command Control Communication and Information System, Driver Vision System, Laser Warning System, Remote Controlled Weapon System, Battlefield Recognition and Identification System, Close Range Surveillance System, AKKOR Active Protection System and embedded training With its simulator, it provides tools for providing user/maintenance trainings for these products.

One in the world

With these qualities, ASELSAN has become the only company in the world that can produce all the electronics that can equip a tank. Thanks to the development of mechanical, electronic, optical and software of all products by ASELSAN, communication between all units is provided in the most efficient way.

For example, information about a threat detected by the Tank Laser Warning System can be simultaneously transmitted to the Fire Control System, Remote Controlled Weapon System, Command Control System, and Active Protection System. In this way, the user can direct his main weapon or remote-controlled weapon towards the threat and take precautions. The user can also transmit this information to other support elements via the Command and Control System. Thanks to the software development of ASELSAN, additional requests from the user can be easily applied to the subsystems.

In addition, the systems developed by ASELSAN include the Embedded Training Capability. Embedded training; refers to the training received using system units on the real system. In this way, the real system user can develop their competencies by operating different scenarios when the tank is not used operationally. The personnel serving in our national battle tank ALTAY with its embedded training capability will be trained on the platform they use.

AKKOR Active Protection System

One of the most distinctive features of the ALTAY Tank is that it has the AKKOR Active Protection System, which significantly increases its survivability. Moreover, AKKOR provides this capability with low weight cost. In this way, the mobility of the tank is also maximized. In addition to maximizing survivability, significant gains are also achieved in the situational awareness capability of tanks.

The AKKOR System, which neutralizes the threat in less than one second after detection, consists of four components. These are the radar, which performs the task of detecting and tracking the anti-tank rocket or missile approaching the tank, the central management computer that manages the detection and tracking information of the entire system, the ammunition shooter that directs the precautionary ammunition to the destruction point at very high speed, and the physical destruction ammunition with high-precision radar on it. consists of components.

More than a thousand shots were fired during the development work of the AKKOR System. As a result, the system has been brought to a high performance level. While dozens of companies and countries have started to develop the Active Protection System in the last twenty years, only two countries apart from Turkey have developed a system that can be included in the inventory.
