İLTAREN
Who We Are
Advanced Technologies Research Institute carries out the tasks of establishing infrastructures for testing, measurement, analysis and evaluation activities, conducting research on all kinds of software, hardware and equipment in the field of electronic warfare (EW), developing technologies and prototypes, establishing methods and processes for the development and evaluation of EW techniques and tactics, and conducting scientific research in related fields of activity.
Systems and infrastructures including modeling and simulation software for decision support purposes are developed within İLTAREN in order to examine the performance of different systems operating in radio frequency (RF), infrared (IR) and optical bands in various environmental conditions.
In addition to software development studies, laboratory structures including system prototypes in the electronic warfare field and simulators containing hardware elements related to these systems are also developed within the Institute.
In order to carry out all these activities systematically with sensitive and detailed models supported by scientific data, measurement; test and evaluation systems that work in open field and laboratory environments are also developed.
