The first Aselsan ALP-300G long-range early warning radar was formally handed over to the Turkish Armed Forces during a ceremony on 20 May, Türkiye’s Defence Industry Agency (SSB) announced on the same day.
ALP-300G is a new portable early warning active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, which can be deployed and assembled on tactical wheeled platforms, according to the company.
Aselsan had not responded to
Janes
regarding the radar’s capabilities at the time of publication.
The radar is the
rebranded ERALP transportable early warning radar that Aselsan describes as a rapidly deployable, long-range, S-band
AESA radar, which uses gallium nitride in its transceiver modules. Multiple systems can be combined into a single cohesive radar system.
ERALP comprises an 8×8 vehicle that carries the antenna and several other vehicles, which presumably carry the command post, generator, and communications equipment.
