Turkish company ASELSAN has reached an agreement with South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace to install the SEDA 100 Gunshot Detection System in Seoul’s upcoming armored vehicles.
“This move marks a strategic milestone in ASELSAN’s long-standing commitment to defense collaboration with the Republic of Korea,” the Turkish firm stated.
The SEDA 100 uses acoustic sensors to detect supersonic projectiles and pinpoint shooter locations under all conditions, day or night, and during rain or snow.
Features
The SEDA 100 is available in two variants, the standard SEDA 100-L and the lightweight SEDA 100-L-C, designed for integration with Remote Controlled Weapon Stations.
According to the company, both systems detect over 95 percent of supersonic shots, with a response time of less than 1.5 seconds.
The technologies operate within a temperature range of -32 to +60 degrees Celsius (-26 to +140 degrees Fahrenheit) and can be stored at temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit).
Advancing Armored Vehicles
South Korea is advancing the modernization of its armored vehicle fleet while expanding international partnerships and potential export opportunities.
The Asian country is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations for a major deal to supply its K2 main battle tanks to Poland, marking a key step in expanding its defense exports.
In April, Hanwha Aerospace unveiled a high-fidelity visual of its K9A3 unmanned howitzer, providing a detailed look at the next-generation artillery system.
The K9A3 builds on the widely used K9 Thunder, featuring autonomous and unmanned capabilities to minimize risks to soldiers while increasing operational flexibility.
