Tübitak Bilgem announced from its social media accounts that ASELSAN SARP runs on indigenous Real-time Operating system (Gerçek Zamanlı İşletim Sistemi/GİS). Tübital Bilgem and ASELSAN joined their force to develop an indigenous solution. The new GİS is handed over to the Turkish Armed Forces.
ASELSAN SARP is a remotely operated stabilized weapon platform. It combines high-precision reconnaissance capabilities with firepower to serve the tactical needs of the battlefield and protect critical infrastructures. SARP can be integrated onto tactical vehicles, fixed surveillance posts, towers and critical infrastructures. Depending on the operational requirements, SARP can be equipped with a 12.7mm machine gun, 40mm automatic grenade launcher or 7.62mm machine gun.
Through its surveillance and remote control capabilities, SARP enhances situational awareness of the gunner in his proximity while the vulnerability to attacks is decreased drastically.
