Turkish defense company ASELSAN announced the successful testing of the EJDERHA (Dragon) system, which neutralizes 51 drones in a few seconds using high-power electromagnetic radiation.
Globalinfo.az reports that the test took place at ASELSAN’s facility in Gölbek.
In the first phase, the system disabled two tethered drones at a distance of approximately 1,000 meters. In the second phase, EJDERHA neutralized a swarm of 51 drones that took off simultaneously.
According to the company’s statement, the system targets the electronic components of drones with powerful electromagnetic waves, allowing them to be jammed, reset, or permanently disabled without the use of missiles or ammunition.
Designed to counter mini- and micro-UAVs, the system will become an integral part of Türkiye’s multi-layered “Steel Dome” (ÇELİKKUBBE) air defense system. It is equipped with radar and electro-optical systems for detection, tracking, and precise targeting.
