Meteksan Defense is a leading designer and producer of state-of-the-art UAV subsystems, radar and communication technologies for the defense and security industries; as well as Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) for tactical maritime missions.

UAV subsystems

Products of Meteksan Defence, including subsystems for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and other unmanned vehicles, are used around the world for command and control, ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), navigation and positioning, and a variety of other applications.

MILSAR SAR/MTI Radar

Synthetic Aperture Radar for UAV Surveillance

MILSAR Multimode Surveillance Radar

MILSAR SAR/MTI Radar is designed to be used on airborne platforms for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, deterrence, and attack operations. It has versatile Moving Target Indication (MTI) for detection and tracking of potential targets and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) modes for high resolution and all-weather radar imagery, target classification and ground mapping. MILSAR detects and tracks potential targets either low-speed small size or fast-moving objects even in adverse weather and low visibility conditions including cloud and fog.

MILSAR Synthetic aperture radar for UAV surveillanceThis high technology radar system has the same form-fit mechanical interfaces as the standard 15” EO/IR sensor turret to be readily replaced with an EO/IR sensor. In this way, either EO/IR sensor or MILSAR SAR/MTI Radar system can be used according to mission requirements for tactical UAVs which cannot carry both of them together. In addition, operating MILSAR together with an EO/IR sensor in a “slew-to-cue” mode improves the effectiveness of the UAV-UCAV joint operations through maximizing wide-area surveillance of UAV and increasing UCAV’s attack capability.

long-range surveillance imaging

SAR features come with Stripmap and Spotlight sub-modes which enable high resolution, long-range imaging even in low visibility, over-the-cloud surveillance operations day or night. Radar plots and tracks are displayed on a geo-referenced plan-position display or can be overlaid on a digital map. The selected target’s range-bearing and course-speed parameters are instantly displayed on the operator’s console. Stripmap mode provides real-time, accurate ground mapping and radar imaging in sub-metric spatial resolution, and is used for wide-area surveillance. The Spotlight mode is specialized for change detection, feature detection, identification, and classification.

AGNOSIS Anti-Jamming GNSS

Anti-jamming Capabilities for Military and Civilian UAVs

AGNOSIS Anti-Jamming GNSSAnti-Jamming-GNSS includes CRPA antenna with 4 or 8 antenna array configuration and 1 signal processing unit with multi receive channels.

Signals acquired by CRPA are digitized with high dynamic range receivers and processed by a signal processing unit. Jamming signals are filtered by using signal processing techniques, and the original signal without the jamming signal, is reconstructed again for delivering to standard GNSS receivers.

Meteksan Defence can develop and produce platform specific GNSS receiver systems with anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities, which can output precise position and velocity information.

In order to suppress jamming signals, spatial filtering methods are utilized. Phased array antennas are used for spatial filtering with respect to incoming signal direction, and jamming signals are separated from GNSS signals. Depending on the number of antennas used in spatial filtering, more than one jamming signal can be nullified. It is possible to determine the direction of the GNSS signals by using phased array antennas. By using this information, while powerful jamming signals are nullified by the anti-jamming system, GNSS spoofing signals can also be filtered.

Counter Drone Systems

KAPAN Counter Drone System

Comprehensive C-UAS capability for Critical Infrastructure Security

KAPAN Counter Drone System offers precise drone detection and tracking performance with Radar and Electro-Optic system combinations and artificial intelligence integrated algorithms. Besides its detection and tracking capability, KAPAN allows neutralization of drones with an RF Jammer.

The target drone, when detected and tracked, is identified with the thermal / day cameras. Then precise positioning and tracking are performed. More than one system can be used depending on the characteristics of the protected area. Command and control software enables targets to be fused and viewed as a single track on a common operation picture. Information on the direction and position of the target drone is provided by sensors and can be assigned to RF jammer for neutralization.

Different sensors and countermeasure components can be mounted on  vehicles or masts etc. and it is possible to integrate each component in varying numbers according to the requirements of the area to be protected. In this way, effective solutions can be achieved both in terms of performance and cost.
