As the role of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in military operations has increased recently, their defense has also become a pressing issue. In this context, systems that hunt UAVs, especially those with high technological capabilities, are becoming a crucial part of military strategies. Turkey's defense industry is also taking significant steps in this area, developing new systems that meet the demands of the modern battlefield.
Redaksiya reports that Murat Koç, General Manager of DASAL Havacılık, stated in an interview with Defence Turk that the company is working on new variants of its UAV-hunting drone called ALKARA. Koç provided information about ALKARA, PUHU C75, C100 Kargo İHA Ailesi, Arıkuşu, and other products, offering detailed assessments of the application areas of these systems on battlefields, the future of unmanned aerial platforms, and their impact on evolving combat doctrines. The development of ALKARA's "MANPADS" (Man-Portable Air Defense Systems) variant is a clear example of the company's innovative approach in this field.
According to Murat Koç, the new variants of ALKARA will provide more effective defense against various threats. These systems are designed to ensure the security of UAVs on the battlefield. ALKARA's "MANPADS" variant will play a significant role, especially in combating low-altitude threats. The development of this system is an indicator of the company's experience in defense technologies and its emphasis on innovation. DASAL Havacılık also attracts attention with its other products such as PUHU C75 and C100 Kargo İHA Ailesi. These platforms are designed for carrying various types of cargo and providing logistical support on the battlefield. Arıkuşu, on the other hand, is another important system used for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. All these systems aim to increase the effectiveness of military operations in line with modern combat doctrines.
DASAL Havacılık's products contribute to the development of Turkey's defense industry and enhance the country's military power. The new variants of ALKARA will ensure the defense of UAVs on future battlefields and further strengthen Turkey's defense capabilities. The company's activities in this area play a significant role in the development of defense technologies and solidify Turkey's leadership in this field.
