Military units are protected by national technologies

The perimeter security of the military units is provided by the Integrated Network Supported Security System developed within the Turkish defense industry.

The perimeter security of the military units is provided by the Integrated Network Supported Security System, in which national technologies developed by the Turkish defense industry are used.

HAVELSAN Teknoloji Radar Sanayi ve Ticaret AŞ (HTR), which develops radar and military electronic systems, is also involved in the security of critical military and civilian facilities with its network-supported security systems.

HTR Chairman of the Board of Directors Macit Arslan told Anadolu Agency (AA) that the company was established in 1990 with a French partnership to meet the long-range radar needs of the Air Force Command, and became a national company with the acquisition of HAVELSAN’s shares in 2001.

Explaining that the company’s activities, which started with radar and cabling, expanded with electronic cards, infrastructure and network security systems, Arslan stated that they carried out the modernization and maintenance-operation activities of the TRS-22XX radar used by the Air Force, and they carried out maintenance and repair of NATO radars in Turkey.

Arslan stated that they carry out productions as an integrated facility with all kinds of radar production infrastructure in cooperation with different companies and deliver them to those in need.

Pointing out that they offer Integrated Network Supported Security System solutions for military and civilian customer needs, Arslan said:

“We are establishing network-supported security systems in more than 150 units of our Land Forces Command. Base areas can be fixed or modular. We can bring all kinds of information that may pose a threat to the operator by using optical and other systems. This information is examined and various analyzes can be made. The network security system of 6 airports was also installed by HTR.”

“The SWIR camera that we have nationalized is a system that gives images especially in dense fog. We are improving its performance with our R&D studies. It helps to prevent a possible threat and infiltration by using it in the troops in need even in the densest fog. Short wavelength infrared cameras, which we call SWIR, come together in many It is a SWIR controlled material, its sale is subject to permission, you cannot buy it even if you want, but thanks to the production of HTR, this is a national and domestic product offered to those in need.”
