"It's difficult to be a Turk for you're fighting against the world. It's more difficult not to be a Turk for you're fighting against the Turks" - Fatih Sultan Mehmet Han, the Conqueror of Constantinople

Putting some PDF members into utter sorrow ASELSAN EW POD (MEHPOD: Milli Elektronik Harp POD) is now fully operational and entered into the service of the TurAF last week. They're now being integrated into F-16s. When I was avowedly advertising it in the PDF some members got pissed off thinking that the Turkish engineers, who work day and night with the Ashk-i Ibadet and the singularity of purpose to get the job done, have the fickle minded "subcontinental" traits!

Anyway, I am pretty sure the PAF High Command has been quite mindful of this "KORAL in the sky". And, they won't let this opportunity down to make their F-16s and JF-17s more lethal. Now, imagine (which is more important than knowledge as per Einstein) these pods working in tandem in a distributed computational mode via secured communication links and load sharing over the LOC, IB, the Arabian Sea etc. while facing the IAF/IN assets!!!

Please study the following specs to satisfy yourselves. Long live the "Turkic" mindset and work habit/ethics.....

MEHPOD is an indigenous Pod System developed to provide protection and survivability of Fighters against RF Guided Threats.

Capabilities
• Electronic Protection against RF guided threats
• Easy Integration to Fighters as a Standalone Pod
• Threat detection, classification and identification in E-J band
• RF energy transmission enabling deceptive and noise jamming techniques in a dynamic threat environment
• Tracking and jamming the threats autonomously
• Phased array antenna and solid state transmitter architecture (AESA)
• Fully programmable Mission Data File architecture

Technologies
• Instanteneous Frequency Measurement (IFM)
• High-sensitivy Superhet Digital Receiver
• Digital RF Memory (DRFM)
• Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA)
• Active Electronic Scanning Array (AESA)
• Aerodynamic Design with low drag index
• Qualification and Certification
• Self-contained ECS and Power Systems

*ASELSAN is using GaN based devices for ultra-fast and high-power RF applications. Rafael uses GaAs based devices. GaN technology is 10x more efficient than GaAs. To successfully fabricate GaN based devices, which is an art-form, you need the "Bell Labs" class maestros.
