Unseen front: Turkey's electronic warfare capability In modern wars a

With developing technology, one of the most important issues in the battlefield is the ability to read the obtained data correctly. And in some cases, preventing the enemy from reading his own data. This situation, roughly referred to as 'electronic warfare' by the public, is actually extremely challenging and strategic.

Türkiye is taking firm steps towards becoming one of the strong players in this field on land, at sea and in the air with the new systems it has developed with local and national resources.

These technologies, which undertake tasks far beyond the rote 'they turned on the switch and disrupted all electronic systems', will not only strengthen Ankara's hand in the field. Because such capabilities are valuable enough to take the owner's position at the table to a higher level.

As we have just emphasized, the concept of electronic warfare does not mean 'disrupting the other side's radar' or 'being able to cut off all communications in an area of ​​hundreds of kilometers'...

In order to understand this better, it is necessary to keep in mind that there are topics such as electronic support, electronic attack and electronic protection.

Therefore, the summary of electronic warfare is not 'disrupting'... It is about being able to see the enemy before he sees you, understanding it, making decisions and disrupting it only when necessary... Also, keeping his own systems working while doing all this.

It is possible to read Turkey's transformation in this field through several systems. One of the first systems that comes to mind is KORAL signed by ASELSAN... It is one of the most well-known examples of the land-based electronic warfare approach.

The system detects, analyzes and directs enemy radars using electronic support and electronic attack elements. It then enables practices such as mixing and deception. In this way, it is possible for friendly elements to operate in a lower risk environment.
