What's new

Turkey test its new naval radar "Çafrad"

. .
Turkish F16 just might get a special local upgrade on Radars

There is an ongoing AESA radar project for F-16 upgrade and Turkish 5th generation stealth fighter TF-X.

Cabatli a quick question. Are each and every component of the radar made in Turkey, is it 100% indigenous?


GaN Monolithic Microwave IC, GaN T/R Modules are designed/developed by AbMicroNano institute ( Aselsan/Bilkent Jv)

SiGe based IC, digital beam forming and electronically scanned array antenna infrastructure is developed by Aselsan.

I mean all critical components, modules and software are designed and developed by Turkish institutes. Aselsan compete with World leaders in this sector. You can not develop a radar which will be advanced than An-SPY-1D Aegis while relying foreign technologies...

So is this RADAR more advanced that AN-SPY-1D?

Yes. Receive any figures to compare, be it electromagnetic pulse performance, resistance to heat, input/output voltages, antenna architecture, simultaneous processing performance, semi-conductors used on modules and phased array type...etc ÇafRad is a huge step forward for Turkish industry...

Like I said Turkish Navy > Israel Navy........ Israel Air force and Army > Turkey Air force and army..... Israel also have the better intelligence agency too.... They are the most battle tested army in the world with high morale.... They spend more on R&d which helps Military too... They have F-35.... F-15....... Hi tech Drones..... etc....

Turkey has F-16s, F-15s, and I think will receive F-35s. So not sure how you come to the conclusion that Israel has better air force than Turkey?

In terms of an army, Turkey has the second largest army in NATO after the US.

The wars that Israel had against Hezbollah in 2006, and Hamas in 2012 and 2014 showed the vulnerabilities of Israelis. Keep in mind neither Hezbollah nor Hamas has an Air Force nor anti-air defense. Yet they managed to rebel the Israelis.

You are a liar TROLL ,,, nothing else



Aselsan CAFRAD is 100% Turkish

even Nano technology GaN based Micro Chips and Infrared Photodetector Technology ( only the US,Israel,Turkey and France )

Turkey was become the 4th country in the world that produced GaN based Micro Chips for strategic technologies such as defense radar, electric cars, high speed trains and 5G mobile phone systems

also GaN based Nanotransistors and Electronic Integrated Circuits which are used in many areas such as Radar



Turkey is now among only five countries in the world where the capability exists to develop GaN semiconductor material based nanotransistor technology

YOU are the liar or troll.

Where is the proof Turkey is only amongst the five countries with capability to develop GaN semiconductor based nanotransistor?

You don't even know what you are writing about. Turkey is nowhere amongst the top 20 countries in semiconductor technology. No commercial wafer fab, no IC design centre of note, no equipment supplier, no OSAT services, no R&D of note.

I won't mention any more, let's just let it rest there.


also Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector based on Indium Nitride Nanocrystals for thermal Cameras

the US : T2SLS , HgCdTe , QWIP , InSb , IngaAs
Israel : T2SLS , HgCdTe , InSb , IngaAs
TURKEY ( Aselsan ) : HgCdTe , QWIP , InSb , IngaAs
France : HgCdTe , QWIP , InSb , IngaAs


Germany : only T2SLS , HgCdTe
S.Korea : only HgCdTe , InSb
Sweden : only T2SLS , QWIP
The UK : only HgCdTe
Russia : only HgCdTe
Japan : only IngaAs





Where did you get this image from? Nonsense again.



ASELSAN is in top 5 in the world in Electronics ,Thermal Cameras , Electronic Warfare Systems , Infrared Photodetectors , Nano-Chips , GaN based AESA Radars , Active Protection hard kill Systems , Nanotransistor Technology , etc

Maybe You are another stupid TROLL who know nothing about military and Turkish Defense Industry

I am not talking about semiconductor technology ,,, I am talking about GaN semiconductor material based nanotransistor technology which is used in GaN based AESA Radars


Do you know what about ASELSAN ? ( ranked 55 in the 2018 global top 100 list based on defence product revenue )

Raytheon , BAE Systems , Northrop Grumman , Thales , Elbit Systems and ASELSAN are in top of the world for Electronics , Electronic Warfare Systems , GaN based AESA Radars , etc

https://people.defensenews.com/top-100/



ASELSAN and Bilkent University found AB-MikroNano Company ( Micro Nano Technologies ) to produce advanced Nanotransistors with 30 million dollars investment and AB-MikroNano is located within Bilkent Cyberpark

ASELSAN and Bilkent University says that Turkey is now among only five countries in the world where the capability exists to develop GaN semiconductor material-based nanotransistor technology

Don't use ad hominem attacks. Stupidity is akin to Turks because Turks are not known for their IQ. The last thing Turks should talk about is IQ. Move on.

Rank 55 means its revenue was the 55th largest (excluding China and Iran) of all defence companies in the world. Most of these revenues came from selling COTS systems to Turkish Armed Forces. As a respected Pakistani veteran on this board has so eloquently put it:

Which AESA radar fits better the JF-17 Block 3?

Turkey is trying to make their own HMDS, but its horse shit claims from ASELSAN as usual: they will end up kit assembly like most of their current products.

This is a claim by Aselsan and Bilkent, not corroborated by outsiders. The credibility of Turkish media and news is low, so is the quality of papers published by Turks in science and technology.

I can name multiple countries that have developed GaN transistors many years ago. But I want you to commit more follies so that I can expose you further.

Go on, prove that GaN HEMT have only been developed by 5 countries in the world from neutral sources with names of all those countries.

I'd love to prove you an ignorant troll.

Western technology including Turkey is ahead of China and Iran and India for Electronic , Electronic Warfare Systems and now GaN based AESA Radars

even Pakistan prefered Turkish Aselsan ASELPOD Targeting Pod for JF17 Fighter Jet instead of low quality Chinese targeting Pod



and Turkey develops land , naval , airborne AESA Radars ( GaN technology )

not Turkish media ,,,idiot
I show you evidance from official website of Bilkent University
You go prove that many countries have developed GaN semiconductor material based nanotransistor technology

even only even only a few countries have developes Naval AESA Radars ... You stupid ignorant TROLL

even Indian KOLKATA class Destroyer uses Israeli MF-STAR Radar


Multi-function Naval Radars in the World .. ( The US,The UK,France,Turkey,Japan,Russia,Israel,China )

-- 150 km Poliment 5P-20K ( Admiral Gorshkov class Frigate of the Russian Navy ) ... RUSSIA
-- 222 km FCS-3 ( Akizuki class Destroyer of the Japanese Navy ) ...... JAPAN
-- 250 km EL/M-2248 MF-STAR ( Kolkata class Destroyer of the Indian Navy ) ... ISRAEL
-- 320 km Raytheon AN/SPY-3 ( Zumwalt class Destroyer of the US Navy ) .... THE US
-- 400 km BAE Systems SAMPSON ( Type-45 class Destroyer of the Royal Navy ) ... THE UK
-- 400 km Thales SMART-L ( Horizon class Destroyer of the French Navy ) .... FRANCE
-- 450 km H/LJG-346B ( Type 055 class Destroyer of the Chinese Navy ) ... CHINA
-- 450 km Aselsan CAFRAD ( TF-2000 class Destroyer of the Turkish Navy ) ... TURKEY

Bilkent is still Turkish.

Your post has been reported for personal attack. I hope @waz or other moderators will do their job well.

Still there is no proof that only 5 countries have developed GaN HEMT. That is of questionable authenticity too considering only Turkish media says so. You also failed to mention which are these 5 countries that Turkish Bilkent believes has developed GaN HEMT transistors?

1. Turkey only has semi-modern F-16s in its inventory. No F-15s, no F-35s.

2. Turkish second largest army in NATO consists mostly of conscripts. Quantity ≠ quality. Essentially, Turkey is a primitive country reliant on tourism and construction. The quality of papers in Engineering, Sciences, Technology or Mathematics from Turkey is quite low.

3. Israel has proven itself against Turkey during the Mavi Marmara incident. So far, IDF -> 1, TSK -> 0

So far, TSK has taken a grand total of zero (0) military action against Israel. It's your choice if you want to believe in propaganda about future grandiosity from Turkish media or if you choose to believe in facts.
