ALBAWABA - Leading defence contractor ASELSAN has unveiled EJDERHA, a state-of-the-art electronic warfare system that has the potential to completely transform the battlefield. The system's goal is to prevent terrorist organisations from using electronic gadgets, drones, and improvised explosives.
The most recent developments and capabilities of EJDERHA were showcased by Mr. Ahmet Akyol, CEO of ASELSAN, during a presentation at the SAHA MBA High-Level Bureaucrats and Sector Leaders Training.
Details revealed during the presentation indicate that EJDERHA is painstakingly built to use electromagnetic signals to remotely disable any military or civilian vehicle that includes electrical components.
This novel method neutralises targeted electronic equipment by using a specialised antenna and reflector that are programmed to generate high-intensity electromagnetic radiation for a predetermined amount of time.
EJDERHA uses high-frequency microwave sources to interfere with electronic devices' normal functioning, resulting in faults or permanent damage that renders the gadgets unusable.
EJDERHA's adaptability also extends to tactical settings and facility entry/exit points, where it can be used to remotely destroy aerial targets and vehicles that are considered a threat because of their electronic components.
The principal aim is to counter the utilisation of electronic systems, drones, and improvised explosives, which are often utilised by terrorist groups.
The deployment of EJDERHA, which provides smooth integration into tactical wheeled and tracked vehicles, represents a major breakthrough in convoy protection and transfer operations. It also features manned and unmanned control capabilities, offering versatility and adaptability in a range of field conditions.
