IDEF 2019: More than 500 IHASAVAR Anti-Drone Jammer Systems delivered by Aselsan.

More than 500 IHASAVAR Anti-Drone Jammer Systems designed and manufactured by the Turkish Company Aselsan, have already been delivered to national and international customers so far, whilst ASELSAN is planning to exceed the delivery of 1.000 systems at the end of 2019 with an increased production capacity per year.

With the rapid spread and widely usage of drones, the urgent protection and immediate reaction to those which are aiming sabotage, intelligence and attacking to critical bases have not become more essential than ever before.

As a lightweight and user friendly system, ASELSAN’s IHASAVAR anti-drone jammer system, which is a gun-like antenna mounted on a rifle stock fitted with a telescope for aiming and a backpack containing state-of-the-art electronic module, is used to protect military bases, critical facilities, high value assets, public events and VIP’s against hostile mini/micro-drones that are operated by remote control, GPS/GLONASS satellites navigation frequencies as well as data link/telemetry frequencies simultaneously.

Software-defined, IHASAVAR is fully programmable and has been tested against known commercial and custom-made mini/micro-drones that are available in the market. With its high gain directional antenna, IHASAVARTM’s jamming technology is based on DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) technique with FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) controlled swept jamming. IHASAVAR’s compact architecture, lightweight and portability provide the operator with1.5 hours of continuous operation at maximum RF power.

The IHASAVAR can also be used on a tripod with the same directional antenna or integrated with a set of omni-antennas in order to provide continuous 3600protection for static infrastructures. In addition to this ASELSAN’s MIRKET DF Pocket Receiver can be implemented in order to provide the operator with further situational awareness regarding the direction of the hostile drones that approach.
