In a significant development for international peacekeeping and defense technology, a Turkish company has secured a prestigious contract with the United Nations. Aser Technology, a manufacturer specializing in satellite communications and radar systems, will provide its advanced radio frequency (RF) jamming systems for use in UN armored vehicles operating across Africa.
Aser Technology Triumphs in Competitive Tender
The company's general manager, Ertan Murat, confirmed to Anadolu Agency that Aser Technology successfully won the supply tender against stiff international competition. The firm has already completed the delivery of its tactical-class electronic warfare jamming systems. This victory marks a notable achievement for the Turkish defense industry on the global stage.
Murat emphasized that the company's systems are specifically designed to be effective against the growing threats posed by remote-controlled improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones. These threats are prevalent in many conflict zones where UN peacekeeping forces are deployed.
Decades of Experience and Advanced Capabilities
Highlighting the firm's extensive background, Murat stated that Aser Technology has been serving the Turkish Armed Forces in jammer-related projects for more than two decades. This long-term partnership allowed the company to develop and refine its technologies based on real-world battlefield conditions and evolving needs.
"We developed new jamming technologies that meet the conditions and needs of the real field," Murat explained. The company's innovative approach has now been recognized at the highest international level through this UN project.
Comprehensive Spectrum Jamming for Modern Threats
The technological prowess of the delivered systems is a key feature. Murat detailed that Aser's offerings provide a much wider operational range and can jam signals effectively across a broad spectrum. This comprehensive coverage includes modern communication bands like 4.5G and 5G systems, various drone control frequencies, and signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).
This capability is crucial for protecting convoys and personnel from increasingly sophisticated attacks that utilize commercial and customized communication technologies. By integrating these advanced Turkish-made jammers, the UN's armored vehicles in Africa will have a significantly enhanced layer of defensive electronic protection.
The contract underscores the growing role and competitiveness of Turkey's defense sector in providing high-tech solutions for global security challenges, particularly in supporting critical international peacekeeping missions.
