ALKAR 110/81: A New Benchmark in Fire Direction and Alignment
For conventional mortar units, ASELSAN’s ALKAR 110/81 Fire Direction & Alignment System (FDAS) enhances speed, usability, and precision. FDAS elevates traditional mortars by accurately assessing azimuth, elevation, and roll angles, enabling automated execution of fire missions based on current climatic conditions, target specifics, and ammunition details. It adjusts calculations for subsequent missions and supports section fire operations via the Fire Direction Center (FDC). With connectivity options such as Ethernet, DSL, or radio communications, the ALKAR 110/81 ensures smooth integration among multiple mortar units, significantly boosting response times and operational effectiveness on the battlefield.
ALKAR 100/120: Revolutionizing Mortars into Intelligent Weapons
ASELSAN’s ALKAR 100/120 Mortar Weapon System marks a transformative era in mortar combat, merging automation and accurate targeting to enhance operational effectiveness. Entirely developed by ASELSAN’s cutting-edge engineering, the ALKAR 100/120 reinvigorates traditional mortars by featuring an Automatic Barrel Laying System for precise target engagement, an Automatic Ammunition Loading System for quick fire sequences, and a Recoil Mechanism that enhances stability and vehicle compatibility. Additionally, its Fire Control System ensures precise ballistic calculations, while the Inertial Navigation System (INS) & Muzzle Velocity Radar amplify first-round hit probabilities. Designed for deployment on tracked vehicles, wheeled systems, and stationary defense setups, the ALKAR 100/120 allows effortless connectivity with command-and-control networks for coordinated fire missions. Its robust design guarantees reliable operation in challenging environmental conditions.
ALKAR 100/120 transforms conventional mortars into autonomous fire support entities, reducing reliance on manual adjustments and labor-intensive protocols. Equipped with an advanced fire control system, the ALKAR 100/120 calculates ballistic data using meteorological inputs and digital communications from forward observers, assuring unmatched precision and efficiency. Its functions include INS/GPS-guided accuracy, an Electronic Trigger System for immediate firing, and a Muzzle Velocity Radar that consistently refines targeting data for enhanced precision. The integrated recoil mechanism allows mounting on lightweight armored vehicles, enabling swift “shoot and scoot” operations. Whether functioning as a mobile mortar on vehicles or a fixed defensive installation, the ALKAR 100/120’s rapid-response capabilities empower forces to conduct precise and lethal fire missions within minimal time frames.
