Aselsan has signed an agreement with the Presidency of Defence Industries of Turkey for the supply of air defense radar systems.
The agreements are valued at $170.9 million and 1.95 billion Turkish lira (around $55.49 million), with delivery taking place between 2026 and 2031, the Turkish defense firm stated.
No further details have been shared about the deal. However, one of the likely candidates for the deal is the ALP-300G Portable Early Warning Radar System, earlier called the ERALP Early Warning Radar System.
The radar’s development was first announced in 2022, and its delivery to the Turkish Armed Forces began in May this year.
“The ALP 300-G we delivered today surpasses all of these in terms of resolution, range and accuracy,” Turkish Defence Industries Secretary Haluk Gorgun stated while delivering the system.

A new-generation S-band radar, the ALP-300G is capable of detecting and tracking air breathing targets, ballistic missiles, anti-radiation missiles, and stealth targets from long range.
“AESA and digital beamforming architecture together with multi channel receivers allows the production of simultaneous beams in space paving the way for multi-function and multi-mission operations,” Aselsan explained.
The mobile system consists of radar, command control/communication, and power systems on tactical trucks.
It is also equipped with identification friend or foe and can be connected to radar networks, national command and control and NATO air command and control systems, and air and missile defense systems.
Moreover, it takes only 30 minutes to deploy and operate the system.
