ASELSAN, the leading international defense and technology company has won NATO Communications and Information (NCI) Agency’s Fifth Annual Defense Innovation Challenge.

ASELSAN has participated with 2 separate projects in the NCI Challenge along with many other projects from allied NATO countries aimed to improve distributed air surveillance radar data processing.

One of the solutions suggested by ASELSAN is an architecture, in which a module operates a local radar as an “AI Operator” with the intelligence gathered from other radars. Studies showed that the AI-Operator controls the radar in a very precise and quick manner that no human operator can do, hence significantly improving the performance of the radar in a selected network. The other solution of ASELSAN, “The A-Fact” fuses all information from different sources into a single air picture. The NATO radar network will be capable of working effectively and intelligently with the assistance of A-Fact even in a dense cluttered environment.

ASELSAN’s qualified, competent and professional human resources do not only develop technology to the high-end, but also continues to make a difference with their innovative ideas around it. Thus, ASELSAN will be pioneering new business opportunities in the global arena by proposing these projects which utilize artificial intelligence at its best for operation of NATO radars in the most well-organized and meticulous manner.

By winning the NCIA’s Innovation Challenge 2020, ASELSAN get a chance to put these systems into operational use for NATO’s collective security, through a competitive bid with the NCI Agency.

ASELSAN said it is proud of being one of the international defense companies who is eligible for the production of such innovative solutions that can be used for the benefit of all NATO allies, our collective defense and the globe itself.
