Haluk Görgün, President of the Presidency of Defence Industries, said, ‘With the power of our national engineering, the technology shields of our skies are also getting stronger.’
According to the statement made by the Presidency of Defence Industries, Turkey's first indigenous and national distributed architecture air defence missile system HİSAR-O successfully carried out its first long-range firing, which will step up the Serial Production Project within the scope of capability acquisition.
Görgün, whose evaluations were included in the statement within the scope of the firing test activity carried out yesterday, stated that with the power of national engineering, the technology shields in the skies have also strengthened.
Giving details about the firing test activity, Görgün said:
‘In the firing test activity carried out within the scope of capability acquisition for the HİSAR-O Mass Production Project, the target was eliminated with a direct hit at 40+ kilometres with the RF seeker missile fired from the new generation HİSAR-O battery in mass production configuration. Within the scope of the HİSAR Serial Production Project initiated by our Presidency, we have brought performance-enhancing updates in the fire control / command and control architecture, transition to IP communication infrastructure, new generation radar capable of detecting the target from a greater distance, advanced guidance / control software and long-range manoeuvring capabilities to the HİSAR-O systems. We will continue our activities to increase the effective range of the HİSAR-O system with new generation technological gains on top of its existing capabilities. On this occasion, I sincerely congratulate our ASELSAN and ROKETSAN engineers and our sons of our homeland who work day and night, achieve success and gain new capabilities.’
According to the statement, the first batch of system deliveries of the systems in the new generation configuration, which will form the backbone of the Steel Dome, is expected to enter the inventory by the end of 2024.
