Aselsan showcases electronic warfare systems and radars on Bayraktar TB2 in Türkiye — Anadolu Agency
Turkish defense company Aselsan demonstrated electronic warfare systems and radar equipment integrated onto Baykar's Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles in central Türkiye. According to Anadolu Agency, delegations from various countries observed the demonstration.
Equipment on two unmanned aerial vehicles
Two Bayraktar TB2s were used in the display. Both unmanned aerial vehicles were equipped with an Antidot 2ES 100 electronic support pod and an Antidot 2EA 200 electronic warfare pod. The second TB2 was also fitted with a Fulmar 200 synthetic aperture radar pod.
During the first stage, the Antidot systems detected a target radar system in flight, determined its location, and carried out an autonomous electronic attack. As the agency reported, this allowed the unmanned aerial vehicle to approach the target undetected.

Transmission of coordinates and radar imaging
During the second stage, the interaction of the equipment was demonstrated. The Antidot system detected another target and transmitted its coordinates to the Fulmar 200 pod, which obtained a high-precision, high-resolution radar image of the object.
According to Anadolu Agency, this was the first test of the Antidot family against real radar systems on the Bayraktar TB2 platform, combining detection, suppression, and radar imaging in a single cycle. Antidot 2ES 100 records incoming signals, determines the direction of the threat, and transmits intelligence data to ground control stations via the unmanned aerial vehicle's communications channel.
The Antidot 2EA 200 pod analyzes signal characteristics, identifies threats, and autonomously attacks search and tracking radars using pre-programmed electronic attack methods. Fulmar 200 is an active electronically scanned array radar capable of operating in all weather and lighting conditions in Spotlight and Stripmap imaging modes.
