ASELSAN Showcases KORKUT 100/25 SB at DSEI 2025

ASELSAN has unveiled its groundbreaking KORKUT 100/25 SB counter-UAV system at DSEI 2025, marking a significant advancement in modern air defense technology. The ASELSAN KORKUT 100/25 SB represents Turkiye’s most sophisticated response to the rapidly evolving drone threat landscape, combining cutting-edge soft-kill and hard-kill capabilities on a highly mobile platform designed to neutralize both individual UAVs and coordinated drone swarms with unprecedented effectiveness.

The KORKUT 100/25 SB system emerges as ASELSAN’s flagship solution for addressing the growing threat posed by mini and micro-UAVs in contemporary warfare scenarios. This advanced counter-drone platform integrates multiple defense mechanisms, ensuring comprehensive protection against diverse unmanned aerial threats that conventional air defense systems struggle to engage effectively.

The system features ASELSAN’s proprietary 25mm ATOM Airburst Smart Ammunition, specifically engineered to maximize lethality against small, agile drone targets. This intelligent ammunition technology adapts to various engagement scenarios, providing operators with flexible response options depending on threat characteristics and operational requirements, ensuring optimal neutralization of both single drones and complex swarm formations.

KORKUT 100/25 SB incorporates sophisticated radar and electro-optic sensors that enable real-time detection, automatic tracking, and precise engagement of UAV threats. The integrated sensor suite provides 360-degree coverage, ensuring no blind spots in the defensive perimeter while maintaining continuous surveillance of the operational airspace for emerging drone threats.

Advanced artificial intelligence algorithms drive the system’s fire control software, enabling rapid threat assessment and engagement decision-making. These AI-powered capabilities allow the KORKUT 100/25 SB to distinguish between legitimate targets and friendly aircraft while optimizing engagement strategies for maximum effectiveness against fast-moving, low-altitude UAV threats.

The system’s high mobility design ensures rapid deployment and repositioning capabilities, making it ideal for protecting moving convoys, forward operating bases, and critical infrastructure. The mobile platform configuration allows military forces to maintain continuous counter-UAV protection while advancing or repositioning, addressing the dynamic nature of modern battlefield requirements.

The remotely operated turret features advanced stabilization systems that maintain targeting accuracy even while the platform is in motion. Equipped with high-resolution day and thermal cameras plus precision laser rangefinder technology, the turret system ensures effective engagement across all weather conditions and operational environments, from desert operations to urban warfare scenarios.

The KORKUT 100/25 SB incorporates state-of-the-art fire control technology that enables precise interception of fast, maneuverable, low-altitude UAVs. The system’s advanced computational capabilities process multiple target parameters simultaneously, calculating optimal engagement solutions that account for target speed, trajectory, and environmental factors affecting projectile performance.

ASELSAN President & CEO Ahmet Akyol emphasized the system’s significance, stating that “The unveiling of KORKUT 100/25 SB at DSEI marks a major milestone for ASELSAN and the future of close-range air defense.” This launch coincides with ASELSAN’s 50th anniversary, highlighting five decades of defense innovation and technological advancement in Turkish military systems development.
