ASELSAN Launches Electronic Warfare Pods at SAHA EXPO

İstanbul, 23 October 2024 – ASELSAN has unveiled its latest electronic warfare pods, ANTIDOT
2-U LB/MB/HB, ANTIDOT 2-U, and ANTIDOT 2-U/S, on the second day of SAHA EXPO. These pods
transform UAVs into powerful electronic warfare platforms, highlighting ASELSAN’s advanced
engineering and global expertise in electronic warfare technology.

ASELSAN, Türkiye’s leading defense company, has introduced its new electronic warfare pods
with the participation of the Secretary of Defense Industries, Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün and
ASELSAN President & CEO, Ahmet Akyol. These pods empower UAVs in terms of detection and
classification of any air defense threat in addition to jamming capabilities. These pods do not
only protect the UAVs carrying them but also safeguard other friendly air assets operating
nearby.

ASELSAN’s cutting-edge ANTIDOT 2-U system turns tactical UAVs into electronic warfare
weapons, providing protection against air defense systems and supporting critical missions.
ANTIDOT 2-U LB/MB/HB system identifies and defends against air defense threats, with escort
jamming capability to protect nearby air assets. ANTIDOT 2-U/S system detects, records, and
locates signals from threat radars, ensuring precise threat identification and location.

ANTIDOT 2-U system provides UAVs with protection against air defense systems and
contributes to the successful fulfillment of critical missions. The system can be seamlessly
integrated into all UAVs capable of carrying UAV munitions such as MAM-L, allowing users to
decide whether to mount ammunition or the POD on any pylon prior to the mission ensuring
no compromise on mission flexibility.

The fully autonomoussystem usesloaded electronic attack techniquesto suppress and deceive
air defense radars. With high output power, wide frequency, and angle coverage, it protects
UAVs and friendly assets from RF threats. Weighing just 45kg and operating at 1100W, it can
be installed on tactical-class UAVs without converting them into special mission aircraft,
enhancing their capabilities.

ANTIDOT 2-U LB/MB/HB is a compact electronic warfare system with both support and attack
capabilities, designed to detect and neutralize air defense systems while protecting its platform
and nearby assets with escort jamming. It allows UAVs to approach targets within munition
range undetected. Lightweight and versatile, it integrates easily with UAVs equipped for
MAM-L ammunition, offering flexible mounting options. Multiple pods can be fitted based on
mission needs. The system weighs 11kg, operates at 380W, and comes in various versions
(LB/MB/HB) for different threats.

ANTIDOT 2-U/S electronic support system detects, identifies, and records signals from threat
air defense radars, accurately determining their direction and location. Data is instantly sent to
the Ground Control Station via the UAV’s communication line. Designed for easy integration
onto tactical-class UAVs, the system enhances situational awareness in the electromagnetic
spectrum without risking lives, offering cost-effective operations. Weighing 30kg and operating
at 400W, it functions fully autonomously.
