The Turkish air defense missile system HİSAR O+ has gained a new capability. The HİSAR O+ Air Defense Missile System was delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces with all its elements in the last days of 2021. The system, which was capable of launching an Infrared Seeker Missile before, has reached the ability to launch an RF (Radio Frequency) Seeker Missile with the final test shot. Head of the Presidency of Defense Industry Prof. Dr. İsmail Demir announced the latest development on his social media accounts in a statement. “HİSAR has started 2022 fast! In the first RF (Radio Frequency) Seeker Headed Test Missile of the HİSAR O+ System, the target was destroyed and a new capability was added to our air defense. While we continue mass production, our work on new capabilities will continue at full speed.”
The HİSAR O+ Air Defense Missile System was developed locally and nationally in cooperation with Aselsan-Roketsan. The warhead was manufactured by SAGE. The system, which has 360-degree efficiency, can engage and fire at least 9 targets at the same time. The prevention range of the HİSAR O+ System reaches 25 km.
