MKE TOLGA DSS is an integrated defense system developed as one of Türkiye’s domestic defense industry products to counter low-altitude drone and mini-UAV threats. Equipped with radar systems, jammer units, a command-and-control center, and towers with various calibers, the platform offers high effectiveness against threats through both electronic and physical countermeasures. The benefits of its use can be evaluated from several perspectives.
Effective Protection Against Low-Altitude Threats
Today, low-flying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and mini drones pose serious risks to critical infrastructure and border regions. Thanks to its radar systems, MKE TOLGA DSS can detect such targets early and neutralize them through electronic jamming (soft-kill) or firepower (hard-kill). This feature enhances the security of strategic locations and enables a quick and effective response to attacks.
Multi-Layered Defense Capability
MKE TOLGA DSS is equipped with multiple layers of defense. While the radar and command-and-control system handle target detection and tracking, the jammer units can disrupt the communication and navigation systems of hostile drones. The towers, fitted with various calibers of weapons, provide physical destruction. This multi-layered architecture prevents the system from being neutralized through a single point of failure and enhances operational reliability.
Advantage of Domestic Production
The fact that the system is developed through domestic production in Türkiye reduces foreign dependency and simplifies logistics processes such as maintenance and spare parts supply. Domestic production also supports strategic autonomy and provides flexibility in defense planning. Operator training and operational requirements can also be met quickly thanks to the local infrastructure.
Flexibility and Modernization Potential
With its modular design, MKE TOLGA DSS can be adapted to different threat levels and operational scenarios. Radar and jammer systems can be upgraded to address emerging threats, while towers can be equipped with various weapon types. This flexibility ensures that the system maintains its effectiveness in the long term and provides a strategic advantage in defense planning.
MKE TOLGA DSS is a multi-layered, domestic, and modular defense solution that provides both electronic and physical protection against low-altitude UAV and drone threats. Its ability to enhance operational security, support strategic autonomy, and offer modernization potential makes it a highly valuable asset.
