A and B is Ka band, C is Ku band, D is X band.
F is high energy Ku band which can be used in missile seekers, ISAR applications or automatic landing systems for air platforms.
E is development of an hybrid Optical and RF antennae, dual seeker :)
 
PIRI is a high performance Infrared Search and Track system designed for maritime platforms in order to passively detect and track multiple air and surface vehicles and missiles with its staring sensors. PIRI is able to observe the perimeter of the maritime vehicle simultaneously in dual-band IR. The large elevation FOV makes the system capable of observe air to surface threats effectively. Display of both MWIR and LWIR spectrum in 360° azimuth as a panoramic image makes PIRI, a comprehensive solution for ships. Distributed Sensor Architecture makes the system modular for any platform.

Uncooled Infrared Thermal Detectors (Microbolometer)
Success gained through product focused activities on
Microbolometer Type Uncooled Infrared Detectors has in 2016
lead to the decision to invest in a mass production line within
ASELSAN’s facilities. Following the preparation of a multi-phase
investment plan, hardware procurement has started.
The facility is planned to be operational in 2018. Manufactured
detectors will primarily be used in ASELSAN’s product lines of
Thermal Weapon Binoculars, Armored Vehicle Thermal Sight
Systems and Missile Seeker Systems.

Cooled Infrared Photon Detectors
ASELSAN continued to be actively involved in the mass production of
Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIP) which has a 640 x 512
format and 20 μm pitch. The process of integrating and deploying
QWIPs in EYE-Q Thermal Imaging Cameras, designed, optimized and
manufactured entirely by ASELSANfor border security purposes, has
come to its final stages.
ASELSAN has conducted research activities in developing infrared
detectors with Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) epilayers.
Company’s main focus in this area is integrating these 640 x 512
format 15 μm pitch MCT detectors in ASELSAN made thermal
imaging systems for reconnaissance and surveillance such as Eye,
Sharpeye, Falconeye and targeting systems such as ASELPOD and
CATS.
Mercury Cadmium Telluride layers are deposited on Cadmium Zinc
Telluride (CZT) wafers. CZT is a militarily critical technology subjected
to export controls. ASELSAN engineers acquired the manufacturing
know-how of this critical material through their research efforts
conducted under a project contract (EYMIR) funded by the
Undersecretariat for Defence Industries.

Image Intensifier Tubes
UV solar blind image intensifier tubes are a key component
of helicopter missile warning systems. Qualification of a
the production line has been completed in 2016 and mass
production started successfully. To extend product application
to further platforms, engineering activities for the development
of new generation high photocathode sensitive tubes are in
progress.

Inertial Measurement Units
As the fiber Optic based Tactical Grade (TG) and Navigation
Grade (NG) Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) have been
developed successfully, work on qualification of mass
production line for TG IMU has been initiated. Upon qualification
of the mass production line, production is planned to commence
for TG IMU in the beginning of 2017. Work for the utilisation of
TG and NG IMUs in different platforms have been continuing.

We have pretty much caught up to Europe in IR detectors:)

KARAOK Short-Range Antitank Missile Infrared Seeker design and development contract was signed on 4 August 2016 with ROKETSAN. The project activities continue under the Planning and Requirement Identification Phase.

Something like this maybe ?

There is no information available about "Karaok".
 
SDT Electronic Warfare Products And Projects

Electronic Warfare (EW) is one of the major concerns of the today’s armies and national security agencies. The countries which have indigenous systems and can produce their own solutions, will step forward in the intelligence and power war. Keeping this fact in mind, SDT has been developing and producing solutions on the EW field since its foundation. In the context of SDT’s activities, different projects are being carried out while several different products are being delivered both on RF and IR bands. In addition to developing EW mission systems, products for testing, measuring and evaluating current EW systems are presented by SDT as well.

RF EW Systems
SDT develops integrated EW systems covering different RF bands for various mission requirements. The system can be stationary or installed on a mobile platform. SDT EW System enables to detect, record and analyse the parameters and effectiveness of the emissions.

Radar & Communication Simulator
System that emits radar and communication signals after generating and amplifying them according to user defined parameters and scenarios. System composed of 2 subsystems which are Radar Signal Simulator (RSS) and Communication Signal Simulator (CSS). The system is installed and used on a 4x4 pick-up type vehicle.

IR Guided Missile Simulator
System allows developing, testing and improving of countermeasure techniques and tactics for IR guided anti-ship missiles. System can also be used on activities aiming to reduce the IR signature and Radar Cross Section (RCS) values. Guided Missile simulations are made by using IR detector, special lenses, filters and mission software. By using the analysis software, performances of developed technique and tactics can be analysed and improved. IR Guided Missile Simulator is integrated into a shelter environment.

SDT EW Products Family Keeps Expanding
In the scope of previously developed projects, some SDT EW products have been developed, which are essential for rapidly meeting similar system requirements:
  • EW Recorder allows real-time and lossless recording of mission data obtained from different interfaces such as Serial FPDP, Ethernet and Analog IF. Data is recorded on solid state disks configured as RAID arrays with speeds more than 3 GByte/s. Compatible with MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810 standards is an option.
  • Analog Wide Band Receiver is used for down converting the RF signal which is obtained from antennas to the IF band. The superhet type receiver is capable of producing one wide band IF, multiple narrow band IF signals and video detector signal outputs at the same time. Receiver is controlled over its Ethernet interface.
  • Digital Receiver (Pulse Analyser) is used for digitizing IF signals and producing Pulse Descriptor Words (PDW) of these signals. The system is capable of digitizing 1 channel wideband IF signal and 3 channel narrowband IF signals at the same time while producing regarding PDWs. Pulse Analyser works synchronously with the Analog Receiver.
  • Emitter Detection Software is used to produce emitter list which contains information about detected emitters present on the environment. Emitter list contains information about; frequency values, frequency types (constant, agile, hopping), Pulse Repetition Interval (PRI) values, PRI types (constant, jittered, staggered, dwell/ switch), signal amplitude values, Pulse Width (PW) values, first/last seen time values of emitters and intrapulse modulation characteristics. System is capable of processing pulses in dense environments.
  • Signal Analysis Software (SAY) is used for offline analysis of the radar data that has been recorded during missions. IF data and PDW analysis can be carried out using SAY. In the scope of SAY, different representations of the data (Tabular, Spectrum, Histogram, and Amplitude/ Phase/Frequency vs. Time Graphs) can be displayed while sorting and filtering operations can be performed as well.
  • EW Environment Simulator allows production of simulated data which is needed during development and testing phases of any kind of EW systems. After defining radar signals of different types and specifications, relevant PWDs are produced. It is possible to model atmospheric environment, reflections and multipath effects.
