ASELSAN replaced imported payloads from Canada with CATS.Görgün, who met with journalists to evaluate ASELSAN after IDEF, talked about ASELSAN and answered questions. Görgün, answering a question about CATS, said, “There are 12 CATS installed on UAVs. One CATS has just been sold. A total of 13 CATS were delivered. By the end of this month, 16 CATS will be in use. Our goal is to produce six CATS per month.” Görgün stated that CATS would improve according to feedback from the end-user.Görgün stated that they purchase sub-products for their systems, and the total cost reaches 1 billion dollars.
