Our national combat aircraft, KAAN, is equipped with technological developments and is preparing to further strengthen its air superiority with the TULGAR system developed by ASELSAN. TULGAR emerges as an important step with the production of the first prototype of KAAN. This shows the possibility that TULGAR could be used in KAAN's first flight, and this issue is expected to become clear in the near future.
TULGAR System and Features
TULGAR is defined as a visor-reflective helmet-mounted display system designed within ASELSAN for fixed-wing platforms. The features of this system include a number of functions developed to increase KAAN's combat capabilities.
Technological Advantages of TULGAR
TULGAR draws attention with its lightweight helmet unit. Its color screen and internal helmet structure shaped according to the pilot's head aim to provide a user-friendly experience. Thanks to the system's digital night vision feature, KAAN pilots will be able to demonstrate maximum performance in night operations.
