Turkey's Hisar A+ Otonom air defence system struck a jet-powered target with an imaging infrared seeker missile during a test firing, according to the Presidency of Defence Industries. The activity was conducted under the Hisar project on the agency's 41st anniversary.
The autonomous vehicle performs detection, identification, tracking, firing and command-and-control functions on a single platform. The system has a range exceeding 15 kilometres and an operating altitude of 10 kilometres, designed to defend armoured and mechanised units against drones, cruise missiles and air-to-ground missiles.
Ground systems, radar and seekers were developed by Aselsan, the missile by Roketsan and the warhead by TÜBİTAK SAGE, with contributions from more than 200 domestic suppliers. Haluk Görgün, president of the agency, said the system brings all components together in a single vehicle to strengthen national air defence.
