ASELSAN Unveils New Targeting System, Tactical Data Links for UAVs at IDEF 2025

ASELSAN has launched its latest air dominance technologies—ASELFLIR 600 and the T-LINK family of tactical data links—at the IDEF 2025 defense exhibition in İstanbul.

These systems are aimed at enhancing surveillance, targeting, and communications capabilities for both manned and unmanned aerial platforms.

ASELFLIR 600 electro-optical targeting system is designed specifically for High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) class unmanned aerial vehicles. With a 25-inch gimbal, multi-spectral optics, HD multi-band sensors, and an extended-range laser suite, the system supports long-range detection, recognition, and identification. It also integrates artificial intelligence for real-time object recognition in complex operational environments.

The company also revealed the T-LINK family—T-LINK A, C, M, and G—of national tactical data links. These systems offer encrypted, electronic warfare-resistant communication across air, land, sea, and missile platforms. Built for network-centric operations, T-LINK ensures real-time data and voice exchange between mobile and fixed units.

In drone operations, tactical data links allow real-time transmission of video, target coordinates, and threat data to command centers, fighter jets, or artillery units. This enables fast, secure, and coordinated responses during surveillance or strike missions without verbal communication.
