Türkiye deploys advanced electronic warfare system to counter UAV threats PHOTO/VIDEO

Turkish Land Forces have added the İLTER J350 electronic warfare system, developed by Turkish defence company Boğaziçi Defense, to their operational arsenal, enhancing the country’s capabilities against the growing threat of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The İLTER J350 is a sophisticated drone detection and interception system designed to operate across modern battlefields. It can detect radio frequency and direction-finding signals on 12 channels within a 400 to 6000 MHz range, while its advanced protocol detection technology allows it to simultaneously identify up to 30 drones, Caliber.Az reports per Defence Turk.

The system can detect analogue video signals from up to 10 km, digital video signals up to 2 km, and control and monitoring signals up to 5 km. It is also capable of distinguishing between friendly and hostile drones. Equipped with both jamming and spoofing capabilities, the İLTER J350 can simultaneously disrupt 12 channels within the 400 to 8000 MHz range, with an adjustable output power of up to 750 W.

Its GNSS signal jamming range reaches up to 20 km with 360° coverage using an omnidirectional antenna, and up to 30 km when using a directional antenna. The system is versatile in terms of power supply, operating from a 220 V AC mains, a 240 Ah battery, or an additional 10 kVA generator.

Weighing approximately 560 kg, the İLTER J350 can be deployed by a single operator in under five minutes and is capable of continuous, round-the-clock operation in all weather conditions. Its radar detection capabilities vary by target: micro-UAVs up to 5.5 km, fixed-wing and mini-UAVs up to 10 km, small UAVs between 15-20 km, and ground vehicles between 15-20 km.

The addition of the İLTER J350 underscores Türkiye's ongoing efforts to strengthen its defensive capabilities against emerging UAV threats, a challenge that has become increasingly prominent on global battlefields.
