MKE’s TOLGA C-UAS system responded to seven scenarios involving FPVs and large fixed-wing UAVs during a test overseen by representatives from 24 countries.
In a recent test event attended by 64 representatives from 24 countries, MKE’s TOLGA layered C-UAS system responded to different attack scenarios from various UAV types.
FPV types and fixed-wing UAVs representing long-range types like Shaheed-136 were shot down through hard-kill during the test.
The 20 mm revolver cannon and 12.7 mm weapons were used, each capable of using MKE’s fragmented ammunition. The 12.7 mm pellet ammunition offers a muzzle velocity of 880 m/s with an unknown number of pellets, while 20 mm fragmented ammunition with airburst has a muzzle velocity of 1061 m/s.
MKE is developing a 35 mm turret with airburst rounds, the ENFAL-17 C-UAS missile, and a new HPeM weapon for the TOLGA system as the future effectors. 35 mm weapon system using a high fire rate revolver cannon and airburst rounds will be the farthest reaching gun, while ENFAL-17 is aimed at larger targets at ranges up to 10 km. The HPeM weapon, as an alternative short-range effector, will mainly address fibre-optic controlled UAVs, which are immune to jamming.
TOLGA’s Jammer Gets GÖKBÖRÜ AESA Radars
A notable change can be seen in MKE’s video on social media, momentarily showing the jammer fitted with the GÖKBÖRÜ AESA radars in place of the rotating radar to provide constant hemispherical coverage.
GÖKBÖRÜ is available in S, M, L, and UL variants, depending on size and power, as a highly scalable radar that can detect various targets ranging from nano-UAVs to large vessels.
