ASELSAN and Hanwha's Collaboration Strengthens South Korean Armored Vehicles

ASELSAN's SEDA 100 System on Tigon Armored Vehicles

ASELSAN has successfully integrated the SEDA 100 Acoustic Fire Detection System on the new generation 8x8 Tigon armored vehicle produced by South Korean manufacturer Hanwha Aerospace. This valuable collaboration was showcased for the first time at the World Defense Show. ASELSAN highlighted its capabilities for international markets by presenting a wide range of products.

International Cooperation and Integration

The new generation 8x8 Tigon vehicle displayed in a static area by Hanwha Aerospace drew attention as it was equipped with ASELSAN's SEDA 100 System. This demonstrates the concrete expression of the aspirations of both companies to enhance the integration of the SEDA system into Hanwha vehicles, as announced in last year's Memorandum of Understanding.

Features of SEDA 100 Acoustic Fire Detection System

SEDA 100 is capable of detecting supersonic projectiles using advanced acoustic technology proven in both domestic and international markets. The system ensures optimal performance conditions for accurately determining the shooter's location.

The system operates effectively regardless of environmental conditions and provides GIS-based alerts, enabling seamless integration without calibration requirements. The sound of the projectile exit and the shockwave exceeding the speed of sound in the air are detected instantaneously through microphone arrays. During the process, the milliseconds difference between the time the sound reaches the sensors is analyzed to provide the operator with real-time information on the firing coordinates, distance, angle of approach, and elevation through a display.

Future Expectations

This innovative collaboration between ASELSAN and Hanwha Aerospace seems to open the door to new opportunities in both the defense industry and international markets. The union of these two giants holds the potential to enhance the operational effectiveness of armored vehicles.
