VHF Marine Antenna Localization by ASELSAN Completed

**The localization efforts for the VHF (Very High Frequency) Marine Antenna, spearheaded by ASELSAN in collaboration with Kuvayi Technologies, have reached a successful conclusion.** This announcement was made in the February 2025 issue of ASELSAN’s monthly communication bulletin, highlighting the significant achievement of finalizing the domestic production of the VHF antenna. Kuvayi Technologies, based in Balıkesir, played a vital role in this project, bringing their expertise in producing military and civilian standard solutions, along with specialized antenna and communication technologies.

The VHF Marine Antenna is designed to operate seamlessly with VHF IMM (International Maritime Mobile Communication) radios and AIS (Automatic Identification System) receivers. This technology is crucial for ensuring communication services that enhance safety and security for both Turkish and foreign-flagged vessels. The antenna provides essential navigational support and operates 24/7, ensuring compliance with both national and international maritime regulations to protect lives and property at sea.

In practical applications, the frigate TCG Istanbul (F-515) utilizes these VHF marine antennas for effective communication among military and civilian vessels, as well as with coastal stations, port authorities, and coast guard units. Moreover, these antennas are indispensable for emergency communications, timely weather updates, and the exchange of vital data across various VHF radio frequencies.

The role of VHF marine antennas extends to systems like AIS, which significantly enhances marine traffic safety. By sharing critical information such as vessels’ positions, speeds, and identities, the antennas facilitate safer navigation and communication between ships and land stations, thereby improving overall maritime operation efficiency.

In a world where robust communication infrastructure is paramount for both civil and military operations, the localization of VHF antennas by ASELSAN and Kuvayi Technologies marks a pivotal advancement for Turkey’s defense industry. This initiative not only bolsters maritime communication security but also strengthens national capabilities in marine operations.

Investment in Radar Production by ASELSAN

In its commitment to enhancing radar technologies, ASELSAN continues to make significant investments aimed at boosting its production capacity. Recent years have seen notable advancements in AESA-based radar technologies, positioning ASELSAN as one of the leading design and manufacturing centers globally. As a result of this progress, the company has experienced a substantial increase in overseas orders.

To accommodate the growing demand for radar systems, ASELSAN has inaugurated its Radar Integration Center, a facility established with a substantial investment of 50 million dollars. This center has enabled ASELSAN to significantly enhance its production capacity and operational efficiency. Furthermore, the opening of ASELSAN’s office in Oman reflects the company’s strategic expansion and commitment to meeting international market needs.
