- CENK 4D 2Axis AESA Multifunctional Radar
DERİNGÖZ Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
In the underwater domain, the company introduced DERİNGÖZ Autonomous Underwater Vehicle that enhances operations through autonomous navigation and long-endurance capability adaptable to a variety of tasks.
With its ability to operate independently in complex maritime environments, DERİNGÖZ provides navies exploration, surveillance, mine countermeasure and protection capabilities.

Equipped with AI-powered fire control, the company highlights that the system can rapidly detect and engage multiple targets simultaneously under complex conditions.
CENK 4D 2-Axis AESA Multifunctional Radar
ASELSAN also launched CENK 4D 2-Axis AESA Multifunctional Radar, the eyes of the naval defence suite, that ensures wide-area situational awareness by continuously scanning hundreds of air and surface targets in real time.
The company adds that the radars electronically scanned fixed panels allow the system to maintain stable and precise operation even in high sea states and harsh weather conditions.
