Turkish developers showed a line of "smart" ammunition and mortar systems
The Turkish company ASELSAN presented the latest artillery ammunition and mortar installations that increase the accuracy and effectiveness of combat operations. This is reported by ArmyInform. The new products were demonstrated as part of the IDEX & NAVDEX 2025 exhibition, which took place in the UAE.
According to the Army Recognition portal, the updated ammunition line includes the ASAF 155 CCF and ASAF 155 MOFA shells for 155 mm artillery, as well as the ATOM 25 ABM medium-caliber round.
According to the Defence Industry portal, the ASAF 155 CCF is equipped with a trajectory correction system and air braking, which increases the accuracy of the first shot in difficult conditions of use. The ASAF 155 MOFA has a multifunctional fuse that allows you to adapt the detonation to the tactical situation.
The ATOM 25 ABM, in turn, is effective against moving and concealed targets thanks to its programmable detonation and kinetic warhead, which are effective even in electronic warfare conditions. This projectile also has the ability to detonate in the air.
The company also introduced the ALKAR 100/81 and ALKAR 110/81 mortar systems, which feature high fire accuracy, less need for additional personnel, and high mobility.
The ALKAR 100/81 is an 81 mm mortar system that is integrated into the turret and has automatic barrel guidance. It is equipped with a modern fire control system, a recoil mechanism and GPS guidance. The ALKAR 100/81 supports automatic and manual firing modes and can perform all types of mortar fire missions.
In addition, the system's algorithms are integrated with target detection radars and take into account meteorological data, which ensures high accuracy of fire. The mortar is also distinguished by its speed of deployment - less than one minute to the first shot, and it takes less than 10 seconds to change position.
ALKAR 110/81 is an improved version of the complex, equipped with an electronic control system and precise positioning of the mortar barrel based on calculated fire commands. The complex supports work with various types of mortar barrels and ammunition, which increases its versatility. Thanks to aiming sensors and GPS support, this mortar system allows you to automatically adjust the direction of fire without operator intervention.
The ALKAR 110/81 has a display with a graphical interface that displays key parameters, including position, direction of fire and calculated coordinates. The new complex also integrates with common command systems, allowing for real-time coordination of artillery strikes.
ASELSAN's latest developments demonstrate the company's commitment to improving the accuracy and mobility of artillery, which can significantly affect the effectiveness of combat operations in modern military conflicts.
