HISAR (surface to air missile system)

The HİSAR is a family of surface to air missile systems being developed by Aselsan and Roketsan since 2007. It consists of the HİSAR-A low attitude air defense system and HİSAR-O medium range air defence system.

Development History

On 18 April 2007, the Turkish Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (SSM) issued a request for information to international and domestic defence companies to meet a low to medium altitude air defense requirements under Turkey's Low Altitude Air Defence Missile System (T-LALADMIS) programme or Alçak İrtifa Hava Savunma Füze Sistemi in Turkish.[1] A total of 18 companies responded to the RFI.[2] A subsequent request for proposal was issued on 28 September 2008, for the direct acquisition of 18 systems and options for up to 27 additional systems.[3] The contract was eventually awarded to Aselsan as the prime contractor and Roketsan as sub-contractor on 20 June 2011.[4] Other sub-contractors include Tübitak Sage for warhead and battery and Meteksan Savunma for data link. The award consist of a low-altitude system for 314,9 million euros and a medium-altitude system (T-MALADMIS) for 241,4 million euros.[5]

HİSAR-A

Hisar-A (Turkish: Alçak İrtifa Hava Savunma Füze Sistemi) is based on an FNSS ACV-30 tracked vehicle chassis armed with four vertical launched Hisar-A missiles supplied by Roketsan. The tracked Hisar-A system mounts its own mast-mounted air surveillance radar and an electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) system, allowing it to operate as an independent standalone system without the need to operate as a battery with a separate FCS.

HİSAR-O

HİSAR-O (Turkish: Orta İrtifa Hava Savunma Füze Sistemi) is a vertical launched medium range SAM system mounted on a Mercedes Zetros chassis.
