Aselsan Showcases a New Directional Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM) System, the YILDIRIM-100

Our Bureau - : Jul 28, 2023 - : 2:50 am

Aselsan is displaying the YILDIRIM-100 Directed Infrared Countermeasure System (DIRCM) at the ongoing Show.

The new DIRCM aims to disrupt shoulder-fired missile seeker heads using lasers, enhancing aircraft safety, particularly for helicopters. The advanced system provides complete protection against MANPADS (Man-Portable Air Defense Systems) and other heat-seeking missiles from all directions.

The YILDIRIM-100 system is integrated with various missile warning systems and flare shooters on the platform. Utilizing a precision gimbal, the YILDIRIM-100 turret emits high-power laser energy towards incoming guided missiles, disrupting their seeker heads and altering their trajectory.

The system uses lasers to interfere with the seeker heads of shoulder-fired missiles, making it more difficult for them to hit their targets. Aselsan has been working on the development of the DIRCM system for many years. The system is now ready for production.
