Turkish MoD stated that ASELSAN’s ALP 100-G multirole AESA radar, alongside extra HİSAR-A, SİPER, and KORKUT 130/35 air defence systems, will enter the Turkish Armed Forces inventory soon.
ALP 100-G to act as the jack of all trades within the Steel Dome IADS will be delivered soon to the Turkish Army alongside HİSAR-A low altitude air defence system, SİPER long range air defence system, and KORKUT 130/35 modernised 35 mm towed anti-air guns using ATOM 35 ABM and automated mechanism.
The S-band ALP 100-G is a complementary radar to the long-range warning radars like ALP 300-G to cover different altitudes against the generic threat set or perform weapon location depending on the mode of operation. The radar with a range of 185+ km is rapidly deployable on a 8x8 truck.
The most important contributions of ALP 100-G will be, without a doubt, an optimised mode for low altitude targets (Especially cruise missiles and helicopters) and weapon location mode with extra trajectory prediction capability against RAM threats for counter-fire. Through the network, ALP 100-G can be included to assist various air defence systems from Steel Dome. The radar is also available for export users in the ALP 110-G variant, like the MURAD 100-A AESA radar for fighters offered as MURAD 110-A.
