ASELSAN has announced the development of ALP-500G fixed early warning radar in its 2023 Activity Report.
Compared to ALP-300G, also known as ERALP/EİRS, ALP-500G will be stationed separately in a facility designed for it. The GaN-based radar will be significantly larger, providing greater range and power input.
ALP-500G’s longer range will also make it a critical part of Turkiye’s future ballistic missile defence structure that will consist of future variants of SİPER air defence missile and likely TF-2000 destroyers with ÇAFRAD radars and SİPER missiles.
Other developments in air defence radars include the SİPER long-range air defence system radars. ALP-310G, a derivative of ALP-300G, as the search radar and AKREP-1000G fire control radar, were used during the firing tests in 2024.
CENK-200N naval AESA radar following CENK-400N used on I-class frigates was also revealed in the report. ASELSAN stated a deal was inked with a Southeast Asian country for the radar. The naming indicates that CENK-200N is a down-scaled version of CENK-400N for smaller platforms.
