“We have three members of that family, they are planned to be used that strategic and operational level, the first member,” Erdem said. “The second member is this one, it is planned to be used that tactical level with mobile systems.”
“And the third member of the family is mobile, it is a secure mobile phone application,” he said, for tactical usage, it is mainly used as mounted into military armored vehicles.
