KORAL is a land-based transportable electronic warfare system developed to jam and deceive hostile radars[1] of enemy nations.

It is designed and manufactured by Aselsan, a Turkish corporation that produces electronic systems for the Turkish Armed Forces. It was developed under the Land Based Stand-off Jammer System project which started in 2009.[2]

KORAL System supports the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) operations by building information dominance and providing fast response time in a challenging environment. KORAL is composed of Electronic Support and Electronic Attack System each mounted on an 8×8 tactical truck. Operation Control Unit (OCU) is in compliance with NATO standards and also supports NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) protection.[3]

Features

  • One operational unit includes four Koral Electronic Support Systems (ED) and one Electronic Attack System (ET), each mounted on an 8x8 truck.[2]
  • Can search, intercept, analyse, classify, and locate the direction of multiple conventional and complex types of radar signals.[2]
  • Ability to jam, deceive, and paralyse hostile radars.[2]
  • Operating range of 200 km.[4]

Operational History

Syria

Professor Fahrettin Altun, the director of communications for the Turkish presidency, confirmed that the Aselsan Koral electronic warfare system played an important role in Operation Spring Shield in 2020.[5][6]

Libya

On 4 July 2020, Libyan National Army (LNA) affiliated fighter jets attacked Al-Watiya Air Base in western Libya. LNA forces airstrikes destroyed Government of National Accord (GNA) defenses including non-active MIM-23 Hawk,[7] stationed in the base.[8][9][10] Turkish officials stated that the attack could have been perpetrated by UAE Air Force Dassault Mirage aircraft.[11] Russian military sources added that the attack was carried out by Dassault Mirage 2000 aircraft.[12][13]
