DASAL Demonstrates Field-Proven Capabilities at “Ateş Serbest 2025” Live-Fire Exercise
DASAL Aerospace Technologies participated in the “Ateş Serbest-2025” joint live-fire exercise, where the Turkish Armed Forces showcased their firepower capabilities. The exercise took place at the General Nahit Şenoğul Firing and Training Range in Polatlı, Ankara, with the attendance of Turkish Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler and senior military commanders.
Direct Hit in Electronic Warfare Conditions with Fiber-Optic Tethered UAV
During the Distinguished Visitors Day, DASAL’s fiber-optic tethered rotary-wing UAV successfully completed its mission in a challenging electronic warfare (EW) environment. Immune to jamming and signal interference, the system struck its designated target with pinpoint accuracy—once again proving its resilience and reliability.
This mission profile clearly demonstrated the advantages of DASAL's technologies in operations that require secure and uninterrupted data transmission in contested electromagnetic conditions.
ALKARA Anti-Drone System Attracts High Interest
In the Defense Industry Exhibition Area established within the exercise zone, DASAL showcased its latest UAV systems to high-level military delegations. Among the most talked-about solutions was ALKARA, DASAL’s autonomous anti-drone defense system.
ALKARA operates in full autonomy, integrating with radar systems to detect drone threats, autonomously take off, and neutralize targets using its integrated 360° high-explosive fragmentation munition. Developed specifically to counter the growing threat of FPV drones, ALKARA provides an independent, AI-powered defense solution with target recognition and mission autonomy capabilities.
Mission-Ready Versatility: Peregrine UAV Family Stands Out
Another highlight of the event was DASAL’s Peregrine UAV family. This rotary-wing loitering munition offers up to 25 minutes of endurance with anti-personnel payload and 45 minutes without munitions. With its modular design, Peregrine is available in multiple configurations:
- Fiber-optic tethered version for secure EW-resistant operations,
- Dual-camera night ops model for low-light missions,
- Gimbal camera version for reconnaissance and wide-area surveillance.
With mission flexibility, precision targeting, and rugged performance, the Peregrine series reflects DASAL’s approach to customized, operator-oriented solutions.
Heavy-Lift Cargo UAV Systems Gaining Strong Attention
DASAL also drew attention with its cargo-class UAV platforms, designed to provide logistical support under extreme field conditions:
Equipped with automatic hook systems and GNSS-independent navigation, these platforms enable rapid and secure delivery of critical supplies in the field—contributing directly to mission continuity and operational efficiency.
Pushing the Boundaries of Tactical UAV Operations
DASAL Aerospace Technologies continues to push the limits of tactical unmanned aerial systems through its innovative, domestically developed platforms. The Ateş Serbest-2025 exercise served as a significant milestone to test and prove the real-world performance of DASAL’s systems under operational conditions.
With its expanding product family, DASAL remains committed to delivering reliable, high-performance UAV solutions for the most demanding mission environments.
