Innovative solutions in Defense Technology by meteksan Defense

Meteksan Defense stands at the forefront of advanced technology development, specializing in cutting-edge components, radar systems, and communication solutions tailored for the defense and security sectors. Their collaboration with Unmanned Systems Technology (UST) showcases their proficiency in creating armed Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) designed for tactical maritime operations. The ‘Silver’ profile emphasizes the diverse applications of their products, including command and control, ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance), navigation, and positioning.

Advanced Surveillance with MILSAR

The MILSAR system is a compact, multimode surveillance radar that seamlessly integrates with both rotary and fixed-wing UAV platforms. It utilizes standard mechanical interfaces akin to a typical 15” EO/IR sensor turret. This radar excels in detecting and tracking small targets, regardless of their speed, and operates effectively in challenging weather and low-visibility scenarios.

Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for high-resolution mapping and imaging across both terrestrial and maritime environments. Additionally, the system incorporates ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI) modes, enhancing its tracking and detection capabilities.Optional Coherent Change Detection features allow for the identification of changes over time, thereby improving situational awareness in specific areas.

OKIS: Automating UAV Operations

OKIS is a sophisticated Ka-band radar system designed to automate the takeoff and landing processes of UAVs. It ensures dependable performance even in adverse conditions, such as signal interference, GPS-denied environments, and severe weather.

this system comprises two main components: a lightweight transponder and antenna that can be easily mounted on various UAVs without considerably affecting their payload capacity, and an interrogating radar positioned near the runway.This radar measures the UAV’s range,bearing,and elevation,transmitting this 3D data to the ground control station.

Precision Altitude Measurement with CRA

The CRA (C-Band Radar Altimeter) is a linear frequency modulation altimeter that delivers precise altitude readings for UAVs traveling at speeds up to 300 m/s. this compact and lightweight system can accurately measure altitudes up to 2500 ft (750 m) or 5000 ft (1500 m) and as low as 2m, making it notably suitable for sea-skimming operations.

Equipped with built-in testing capabilities, the CRA has been rigorously tested to meet MIL-STD-461G and MIL-STD-810G standards.

Robust Tactical Data Link for UAVs

Meteksan’s tactical data link system for uavs is a line-of-sight (LOS) communication network that facilitates real-time air-to-air and air-to-ground transmissions. It supports command and control as well as high-resolution video data transfer over distances of up to 200 km. This bidirectional system employs H.264 compression, allowing seamless communication between the drone and the ground control station.

The system includes an Air Data Terminal (ADT) and a Ground Data Terminal (GDT). The reflector antenna is crafted from carbon fiber to minimize weight, while the UAV antenna is specifically designed to withstand challenging airborne conditions.

UAV Flight Computer: A Technological Marvel

The UAV Flight Computer is powered by a robust processor,featuring interfaces for mechanical flight control and sensor data acquisition. This low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) system can connect with multiple UAV payloads and includes onboard sensors for voltage, current, and temperature, along with several analog-to-digital converters.

Designed to comply with MIL-STD-810F, MIL-STD-461E, and MIL-STD-464A/E standards, the flight control system ensures reliability and performance.

TMV: Versatile Telemetry solutions

The TMV is a multi-mode S-band telemetry transmitter tailored for mission-critical UAV applications. This adaptable system offers a range of software-defined options, featuring six RF outputs that can be configured independently or in pairs, with variable power levels up to 20W and data rates reaching 20 mbps.

For enhanced reliability and improved link margins, optional features include ARTM Tier 0, 1, and 2 modulation schemes, and also an IRIG 106-15 Compliant LDPC forward error correction mode.

Reliable GNSS Receiver for Tactical Operations

The anti-spoofing and anti-jamming GNSS receiver is engineered for dependable operation in military and tactical settings. It boasts a cutting-edge four-channel phased array antenna, delivering secure and precise location and velocity data.

This low-SWaP system features a modular design that allows for easy integration into various UAVs and complies with MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461 standards.

ULAQ: The Next Generation of unmanned Surface Vehicles

ULAQ represents a state-of-the-art USV constructed from advanced composite materials, designed for a multitude of tactical maritime missions, including ISR, surface warfare, and naval escort operations. With a maximum speed of 65 km/h and an operational range of 400 km,ULAQ is equipped with four laser-guided 70 mm missiles and two long-range anti-armor missiles.

This vessel also features a comprehensive suite of communication and intelligence capabilities, including jamming and electronic warfare systems, to meet diverse operational requirements. ULAQ can be launched from land vehicles, docks, or naval platforms such as aircraft carriers and frigates, and can be operated remotely or programmed for autonomous missions.
