UAE-based Calidus displayed its ALHEDA missile on SARP 100/25 (NEFER) 25 mm remote-controlled turret, hinting at a new area of cooperation with ASELSAN.
Calidus, previously having worked with ASELSAN [BIST:ASELS] on KORKUT 141/35 35 mm SPAAG mounted on its Wahash 8x8 AFV, has displayed what seems like another joint work by displaying its ALHEDA anti-tank/helicopter missile on ASELSAN's SARP 100/25 turret during SAHA EXPO 2026.
ALHEDA is a modular missile mainly working as an anti-tank missile, but with provisions for use against slow air targets. The missile, weighing 38 kg with a 10 kg warhead, uses either a SAL or IIR seeker with GNSS navigation.
ASELSAN's SARP 100/25 turret is a 25 mm remote-controlled turret intended for armoured fighting vehicles and is currently in use by the Turkish Army onboard the modernised ACV-15 IFVs. The turret can use various 25 mm autocannon types with 165 rounds stored in total.
