Technologies planned in the design of the KAAN but not in the F-35
• Directional Infrared Counter Measures .. ( Aselsan YILDIRIM DIRCM)
• Supercruise ..... ( Supersonic flight without afterburner )
• 360° AESA Radar coverage
• IRST infrared search and track system .. ( DAS on the F-35 can not mark )
Directed Infrared Countermeasure System
Directional Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM) are a class of anti-missile systems produced to protect Aircraft from infrared homing missiles
F-22 : NO
F-35 : NO
J-20 : NO
KF-21 : NO
SU-57 : 101KS-O DIRCM
TF-23 KAAN : YILDIRIM DIRCM
Aselsan YILDIRIM Directional Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM)
F-22 lacks GaN based AESA Radar , EOTS , IRST , HMDS (Helmet Display System) , DIRCM Laser countermeasure , 360-degree vision with AI-enhanced battlefield awareness , Artificial Intelligence Co-pilot
TF-KAAN is a different aircraft from the F-22
-- Sensor fusion with EOTS , IRST with unique configuration
-- 360-degree vision with AI-enhanced battlefield awareness.
-- BEOS/EOTS (Advanced optical Systems)
-- HMDS (Helmet Display System) .. only F-35 and TF-KAAN
-- Locking on to enemy aircraft from all directions
-- IRST Infrared Sensor
-- Artificial Intelligence Co-pilot
-- Pilot Health Tracking
-- DIRCM Laser countermeasure
-- 360° AESA Radar
-- 4 AESA radars will cover the hole TFX ( 2 on the wings, propulsion between the engines, and the nose)
Aselsan KARAT InfraRed Search and Track
Infrared search and tracking systems are very critical electro-optical systems that contribute to the low visibility characteristics of 5th generation warplanes and provide passive search capability
operate in the LWIR band which enabling long-range target detection.
KARAT IRST located in front of the cockpit , behind a special window with a reduced radar cross section
Aselsan TOYGUN EOTS under the nose of the aircraft
With its main MWIR infrared sensor with a resolution of 1280×1024 pixels,
TOYGUN will play a role in meeting our aircraft’s low visibility air-to-ground targeting needs
Special Helmet from Aselsan for the TFX Fighter Jet
-- To provide a sense of use as if the Aircraft does not have a fuselage
-- Color screen and digital night vision technologies ( the first time in the system )
-- Binocular (two optical channels) and viewfinder reflective
-- Color-specific groupings (friend, foe, etc.) can be made in the symbology information
-- A hybrid (optical-inertial) system is designed as a head tracking system
-- ANR-Active Noise Reduction) technology
-- The image obtained by using high-precision line of sight information from the 360-degree image created by the electro-optical systems
