SKYDAGGER shared a video for the HUNTER (AVCI) interceptor UAV, which includes integration with ASELSAN’s in-service AURA 100-G (ACAR) UAV detection radar.
SKYDAGGER’s new video for the HUNTER interceptor UAV that was recently tested includes a part showing ASELSAN’s AURA 100-G UAV detection radar and feed for midcourse guidance.
Making use of the interceptor UAVs’ maximum range that extends beyond most short-range systems requires a ground-based radar that can track multiple targets at longer distances. At the same time, optics are better suited for target identification and terminal homing.
AURA 100-G used in the test has been introduced for different applications, including standalone use, searching radar for İHTAR C-UAS jammer as well as GÖKBERK laser weapon (Recently replaced by AURA 200-G AESA radar). The Ku-band radar with an instrumented range of 7.5 km has an adjustable antenna elevation between -24 degrees and +24 degrees and a 30 RPM rotational speed.
HUNTER, carrying a 500 gr warhead, can reach a maximum speed of 320 km/h and a range of 20 km. For terminal guidance, HUNTER is fitted with a dual TV+IR camera. First of its type to be produced in Turkiye, HUNTER was tested towards the end of March 2026.
