Baykar’s KIZILELMA unmanned fighter has completed a performance verification test with ASELSAN’s TOYGUN 100 EOTS, tracking a moving vehicle dead-centre.
A new test with TOYGUN onboard KIZILELMA saw the tracking of a moving truck on a highway, demonstrating the precise tracking capabilities of the EOTS to be fielded on Turkish stealth aircraft.
TOYGUN is one of the three targeting sensors to be used on KIZILELMA, alongside MURAD 100-A AESA radar (Initial production, MURAD 200-A with improved LPI capabilities planned) and KARAT IRST.
The tests with TOYGUN onboard KIZILELMA also contribute to the fielding of the EOTS on KAAN fighter jet and ANKA-III stealthy UCAV from TUSAŞ.
TOYGUN is fitted with an HD MWIR thermal camera (1280x1024 px) and a laser designator with a range of 35 km. In addition to its main use as an air-to-surface ISTAR sensor, TOYGUN can work as an IRST for air-to-air use, complementing the dedicated KARAT IRST in terms of elevation coverage.
Another important test in the first quarter of 2026 for KIZILELMA is the test with the FEWS-U integrated self-protection electronic warfare system, also developed by ASELSAN.
