KORAL is a land-based transportable electronic warfare system developed to jam and deceive hostile radars[2] of enemy nations.

It is designed and manufactured by ASELSAN, a Turkish corporation that produces electronic systems for the Turkish Armed Forces. It was developed under the Land Based Stand-off Jammer System project which started in 2009.[3]

KORAL System supports the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) operations by building information dominance and providing fast response time in a challenging environment. KORAL is composed of an Electronic Support and an Electronic Attack System each mounted on an 8×8 tactical truck. The Operation Control Unit (OCU) is in compliance with NATO standards and also supports NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) protection.[4]

Syria

[edit | edit source]

Professor Fahrettin Altun, the director of communications for the Turkish presidency, confirmed that the Aselsan Koral electronic warfare system played an important role in Operation Spring Shield in 2020.[6][7] Some experts stated that the Koral system created ghost areas on Syrian and Russian radars, blinding them and making them ineffective against Turkish drone attacks.[8]

Libya

[edit | edit source]

On 4 July 2020, Libyan National Army affiliated fighter jets attacked Al-Watiya Air Base in western Libya. LNA forces airstrikes destroyed Government of National Accord (GNA) defenses including MIM-23 Hawk,[9] and claimed a KORAL Electronic Warfare System destroyed.[10][11] stationed in the base.[12][13][14] Turkish officials stated that the attack could have been perpetrated by UAE Air Force Dassault Mirage aircraft.[15] Russian military sources added that the attack was carried out by Dassault Mirage 2000 aircraft.[16][17]
