ASELSAN has announced that the naval version of the KANGAL jammer, KANGAL-D, has been integrated into naval platforms for the first time.
The integration can be taken as an implementation of ASELSAN’s C-UAS jammer product, which has been in service for nearly four years on naval platforms.
KANGAL was originally developed on land platforms to jam IEDs and UAVs. The system can be used standalone or as a part of the İHTAR C-UAS system. KANGAL can jam communication signals on radios, mobile phones, and small UAVs.
KANGAL-D would easily integrate on most warships as a lightweight system with volumetrically and electrically sufficient space.
The threat of UAVs against naval platforms has recently made it into the spotlight following the Houthi attacks conducted with various types of kamikaze UAVs. Occasionally, expensive solutions like air defence missiles have been used.
Using soft-kill measures in tandem with hard-kill solutions can ease engagement and lower the costs of defence against said threats.
