ASELSAN’s GERGEDAN 3-U jammer will allow UCAVs like AKINCI, ANKA, and AKSUNGUR to attack and record enemy communications as an onboard system.
Based on the technology of GERGEDAN (Rhino in Turkish) portable communication electronic warfare system, GERGEDAN 3-U is intended as an integrated system instead of a pod for UCAVs.
ASELSAN’s brochure shows ANKA, AKSUNGUR, and AKINCI UCAVs as compatible platforms with the placement of subsystems. GERGEDAN 3-U marks another expansion for Turkish UCAVs’ electronic warfare capabilities with communications coverage.
ASELSAN has also developed the ANTIDOT family of UAV electronic warfare pods, each filling a different role. ANTIDOT 2-U LB/MB/HB (Mini EW Pod) is intended as a lightweight solution for platforms like Bayraktar TB2. ANTIDOT 2-U/S is the electronic support-focused family member with more extensive ELINT/SIGINT capabilities. ANTIDOT 3-U, sharing the same external structure as ANTIDOT 2-U LB/MB/HB, is intended for jamming GNSS units, including those on other UAVs.
