44-- ASELSAN Mission Computers

​

AGB-231 Avionics Mission Computer​

Advanced Modular Computer (AMC) is the processing center OF the Integrated Fighter Avionics System

Avionic Central Control Computer is the key for mission success. With the modular hardware and software design, large memory capacity, high processing capability and multiple interface support, ACCC enables the pilot to manage effectively all electronic and weapon systems of air platforms.

MKB-331 Central Control Computer is the key for mission success. MKB-331 is the mission computer which manages avionics, supports pilot with its advance processing capability, and provides relevant data to the pilot collected from aircraft systems.

[MMM-E]

46 -- TÜBİTAK-BİLGEM EHPOD/EDPOD Electronic Warfare and Electronic Support Pod

its DRFM technology is optimized as the self-protection pod of the F-16s
The EHPOD System is able to provide users with “considerably more” effective radiated power than the AN/ALQ-211(V)9 Pod in the inventory of Turkish Air Force

EHPOD will enable F-16 to protect itself against air defense elements during joint operations

SPEWS-II Self Protection EW System

Integrated Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) and ElectronicCountermeasures (ECM) Suite providing the pilot with situational awareness and deceptive RF jamming.


With its radar warning receiver, the SPEWS-II system can detect radar signals coming from homing missiles and warn the jet's pilot. The system's electronic countermeasure capabilities allow it to confuse the signals that enable missiles to find planes and to deceive the missiles by sending signals showing the aircraft in different locations.

The protection against radar-guided missile threats will be especially useful in Turkiye's cross-border operations

 

[Nuffle]

Very impressive.

Indeed, the variety and capacity is truly impressive. I wonder how much they should spend on this defense industrial base.

@MMM-E can you tell us about the amounts spent on research and development of these programs?
