GERGEDAN 3-U: Advanced UAV Communication Jamming System
**The GERGEDAN 3-U system, developed by ASELSAN, represents a significant advancement in electronic warfare technology. This sophisticated communication jamming system is specifically designed to disrupt enemy communications across the V/UHF band, showcasing ASELSAN’s expertise in electronic warfare. Recently, the features of the GERGEDAN 3-U have been detailed on ASELSAN’s official platform, highlighting its integration into unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).**
The GERGEDAN 3-U system enhances operational effectiveness through its advanced design, which allows for improved line of sight (LOS) when deployed with UAV systems. It boasts high output power, supported by an additional power amplifier unit, enabling effective operations in challenging environments. The implementation of high-gain, directing jamming antennas further enhances the efficiency of missions in targeted areas, ensuring that jamming efforts are both effective and precise.
In addition to its primary jamming capabilities, the GERGEDAN 3-U actively monitors the frequency spectrum. It possesses the ability to detect real-time triggering signals, allowing it to reactively jam communications using an optimized algorithm. This dual functionality not only disrupts enemy communications but also provides a tactical advantage by enabling rapid response to threats.
The operational features of the GERGEDAN 3-U are comprehensive and adaptable to various scenarios. It supports multiple jamming types, including continuous, streamed, and target-triggered modes. Additionally, it can operate in both single and multiple jamming modes, including barrage and reactive options, making it a versatile tool for electronic warfare.
Beyond jamming, the system includes a voice record broadcast feature, which allows for seamless communication among friendly forces through a dynamic communication channel. Moreover, it incorporates advanced mapping capabilities and voice recording functions, enhancing situational awareness for operators. Activity reports can also be generated, providing valuable insights into operational performance.
The GERGEDAN 3-U is engineered with a modular design that supports the V/UHF frequency band. This system features high output power and directed jamming antennas capable of operating in both right and left sectors. Furthermore, it includes a co-directional receiving antenna that ensures effective signal interception.
Synchronization of multiple systems is facilitated through a GPS-disciplined atomic clock, allowing for coordinated jamming operations from the air. The system has undergone extensive testing and is verified for field use, ensuring reliability under various operational conditions.
Operating effectively in extreme temperatures from -30°C to +50°C, and capable of storage in conditions ranging from -40°C to +60°C, the GERGEDAN 3-U is designed to withstand harsh environments. Its durability is further demonstrated by its resistance to shock, vibration, and humidity, making it suitable for deployment in sandy, dusty, and rainy conditions.
In line with ASELSAN’s commitment to nationalization, the development of the GERGEDAN 3-U reflects ongoing efforts to enhance domestic capabilities in electronic warfare technology.
