Defense Industry Europe, this The systems bring together surveillance, target detection, precision engagement, secure communication and electronic warfare capabilities on the same platform. he stated.

THEIR TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES DRAW ATTENTION

CENK 200, which is among the systems included in the analysis, stands out as an active phased array (AESA) three-dimensional search radar that can simultaneously track air and sea targets at a range of hundreds of kilometers. While AKREP 100-N provides high-precision target tracking and fire control for missile and artillery systems, AHTAPOT 100 can perform long-range reconnaissance and target identification with day, night and thermal imaging sensors. ACROSAT 3210M provides uninterrupted satellite communication to the ship. KARETTA 500 protects navigation safety against electronic jamming attempts on GPS signals.
