Aselsan Akkor - Active Protection System

An active protection system is a system designed to prevent line-of-sight guided anti-tank missiles/projectiles from acquiring and/or destroying a target.

AKKOR. equipped with both hard kill and soft kill functionalities as an Electronic Warfare (EW) Self Protection suit, provides complete protection against all kinds of anti-tank missiles and rockets for the armored vehicles with an optimum time and the safest distance range from the platform.

Softkill measures are applied when it is expected that a sensor-based weapon system can be successfully interfered with. The threat sensor can be either an artificial one, e.g., a solid-state infrared detector, or the human sensory system (eye and/or ear).

Except for countering intercontinental ballistic missiles, hardkill measures generally refer to measures taken in the so-called "end-game" shortly before a warhead/missile hits its target. The hardkill measure in general physically affects the incoming warhead/missile by means of either blast and/or fragment action.

With 360-degree full protection coverage against not only conventional but also asymmetric threats in the operational environment of main battle tanks, AKKOR has also the capability to be integrated on various types of armored vehicles.

The Akkor can be easily integrated to the system level of each modern combat vehicle coupled to other sub-systems, in case of armoured vehicle modernization project.
