Turkish defense giant ASELSAN participated in the NATO Coalition Warrior Interoperability Exercise (CWIX) 2024 held in Bydgoszcz, Poland, between June 3-21 with its Air Defense Early Warning and Command Control, Radar Network Management and Battlefield Management Systems, the company said in a press release Thursday.
The exercise saw the participation of 27 NATO members and two partner countries. Over the course of three weeks, NATO's command and control capabilities were successfully tested in 18 functional focus areas. More than 480 skills of varying maturity levels were tested in the exercise.
ASELSAN systems used in the exercise included HERİKKS Air Defense Early Warning Command and Control System, KOCATEPE Battlefield Management System, and RADNET-II Radar Network Management (HAKİM-RAD) Systems.
Testing its current, near-term and future capabilities, ASELSAN also had the opportunity to explore experimental competencies with its national systems. The trials of ASELSAN's unique system solutions, carried out in a controlled environment with systems belonging to NATO member countries, showed success at CWIX 2024.
HERİKKS stands out as a command-and-control system that manages air defense activities by establishing a computer network among air defense elements in the tactical field. The system can create a real-time air picture by combining information received from air defense radars.
KOCATEPE Battlefield Management System provides digital integration of the command post and affiliated combat elements, from corps level to soldier level, by equipping them with communications, vehicles, military computers and command control systems.
RADNET-II Radar Network Management System (HAKİM-RAD) stands out as a new generation radar management system.
