ASELSAN has expanded its defense technology portfolio with new specialized systems for maritime and aerial security.

In August 2026, the company announced the development of the ASELBUOY P and ASELBUOY POD systems. These integrated tools are designed to enhance anti-submarine warfare capabilities for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The ASELBUOY P provides passive acoustic detection to identify underwater threats, while the ASELBUOY POD serves as a modular launcher system to deploy sonoboys from various aerial platforms.

By September 2026, ASELSAN introduced the DroneDef family, a suite of anti-drone (C-UAS) solutions. This system utilizes a layered defense architecture—incorporating surveillance, electronic warfare, and command and control—to protect critical infrastructure from unauthorized aerial activity, including threats posed by fiber-optic controlled drones.
