TOLUN AND TOLUN IIR: ASELSAN’S PRECISION-GUIDED MUNITION ADVANCEMENTS LEADING THE WAY FOR TACTICAL SUPERIORITY

In the rapidly evolving field of defense technology, the demand for precision, efficiency, and versatility has never been higher. ASELSAN, Türkiye’s leading defense technology company, has risen to meet these demands with its innovative munition solutions, the TOLUN and TOLUN IIR. These munitions represent significant advancements in tactical operations by providing unmatched precision and reliability, marking a new era in ASELSAN's defense capabilities and furthering Türkiye’s strength in smart weapons technology.

TOLUN: Precision and Power in Compact Design

TOLUN, ASELSAN's GPS/INS guided munition, is designed to deliver powerful capabilities in compact form. Developed to support various aerial platforms, TOLUN offers precision targeting, essential for minimizing collateral damage and maximizing operational efficiency. Its compact nature enables it to be deployed across a range of tactical air assets, from UAVs to advanced fighter jets. By combining guidance technology with a high payload effectiveness, TOLUN is poised to meet the demands of modern combat scenarios, providing operators with a versatile tool in high-stakes environments.

TOLUN's design focuses on operational flexibility and precision, leveraging ASELSAN’s proven guidance systems to ensure that targets are engaged accurately, even in challenging battlefield conditions. This capability makes it an invaluable asset in tactical operations requiring speed and accuracy, positioning it as a critical tool in the nation's aerial defense systems.

Main Specifications

TOLUN is carried on Smart Pneumatic Quad Rack (SPQR) (SADAK- 4T) and can be targeted and released against single and multiple targets. TOLUN system is guided by GPS/INS to self-navigate to desired impact points in all weather conditions and day-night operations.

TOLUN system is employed by a smart rack system SPQR capable of carrying 4 (four) TOLUNs. F-16 can carry and employ 8 TOLUNs by using SADAK-4T so the number of aircraft sorties needed to complete the mission decreases.

TOLUN has folded wings that are employed after release to provide extended range. It can penetrate 1 meter of reinforced concrete targets in range of 30 NM.

High delivery accuracy and low collateral damage of TOLUN support major combat urban operations to destroy strategic targets.

TOLUN IIR: Precision with Infrared Imaging

Expanding on the capabilities of TOLUN, ASELSAN has introduced TOLUN IIR, equipped with an Imaging Infrared (IIR) seeker for enhanced targeting accuracy. The addition of IIR technology allows TOLUN IIR to conduct precision strikes with a higher degree of accuracy, using infrared imaging to identify and engage targets even in low visibility or adverse weather conditions. This advancement ensures that operators can rely on TOLUN IIR for critical operations where conventional guidance systems may struggle.

The TOLUN IIR represents ASELSAN’s commitment to enhancing situational awareness and increasing strike precision. The IIR technology empowers the munition to detect and differentiate targets with exceptional clarity, making it ideal for missions requiring a heightened level of discrimination and accuracy. With its integration into Türkiye’s defence arsenal, TOLUN IIR elevates the effectiveness of tactical missions, enabling military forces to operate with greater confidence and precision.

Main Specifications

Multiple Weapon Sensor Fusion capabilities, GNSS/INS/IIR Guidance

Two-Way Data-Link for Target Selection and Aim-Point Update Capability

Man-in-the-Loop active control system during the flight

Day/Night & All-Weather Condition Operations

Lock on Moving Targets (up to 50 Kph)

Can be carried on with SADAK-4T Quad Rack, SADAK-2T Double Rack or single weapon pylon on a single station

Equipped with Proximity sensor for Airburst capability

4 Chanel CPRA Anti-Jam Antenna and Embedded Spoofing Resistance Software

Enhancing Operational Reach

Both TOLUN and TOLUN IIR are set to transform tactical operations by providing high-impact, precision-guided solutions that meet the demands of modern warfare. ASELSAN’s focus on innovation and national defense capability has positioned Türkiye at the forefront of guided munition technology, allowing it to operate independently and effectively in diverse operational conditions.

By combining precision guidance, versatility, and technological innovation, ASELSAN's TOLUN series underscores its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that enhance Türkiye’s defense capabilities. As global security landscapes evolve, ASELSAN’s TOLUN and TOLUN IIR stand as powerful examples of how indigenous technology can meet the challenges of modern defense with sophistication and reliability.
