SUCCESSFUL TEST FIRINGS OF TOLUN AND ASELFLIR-500 ON BAYKAR'S AKINCI

ASELSAN continues the successful test firings of its cutting-edge technologies and products, continuing its assertion in the field of air defense.

In August, Baykar's AKINCI UCAV hit its target with full accuracy with the TOLUN ammunition developed by ASELSAN in the firing test. AKINCI detected the target using the ASELFLIR-500 electro-optical reconnaissance and surveillance system, also developed by ASELSAN during the firing tests.

In another firing test in September, ASELSAN's GNSS/INS/IIR guided gliding all up round ready munition system TOLUN IIR, integrated on Baykar's AKINCI hit its target from an altitude of 22,000 feet at a distance of 20 kilometers with its imaging infrared guidance (IIR).

TOLUN IIR, which was developed and manufactured domestically by ASELSAN, is an air-launched and precision-glide weapon that uses deployable wings to achieve standoff range. It is designed to provide increased weapons load per aircraft and reduce collateral damage while achieving kills across a broad range of target sets by precise accuracy, small warhead design, and focused warhead effects.

This has been the latest example of the union of forces that creates deterrent and effective technologies by Turkish defense industry.
