The company gained domestic production capability for
another foreign-supplied critical component. Uncooled shortwave infrared sensor
sets will be produced in Turkiye, according to ASELSAN. Turkiye uses such
sensors on many major products. The system is developed as a result of studies
of the company's Microelectronics, Guidance and Electro-Optics Sector
Department. Microbolometer infrared sensors are also developed and will be
produced in Turkiye as well.
Shortwave uncooled infrared sensors provide operation capability
in fog or smoke environments. Microbolometer infrared sensors operate in
thermal imagers and infrared seekers. Longwave equipment offers low-energy
consumption thanks to uncooled architecture.
