The MKE TOLGA Close-In Air Defense System (CIADS), which successfully completed test activities with 100% success in the presence of high-level representatives of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) and other security units, has proven that it is ready for duty. This critical success, observed live by a delegation of nearly 100 people, elevates Türkiye’s air defense capabilities to a higher level.
The MKE TOLGA CIADS has been developed as a deterrent and effective shield against some of the greatest challenges of the modern battlefield, such as mini/micro UAVs (drones), tactical drones, smart munitions, and cruise missiles.
A Comprehensive System Solution Signed by MKE
The MKE TOLGA CIADS offers a complete system solution, including the Command and Control System. By integrating its defense capabilities, the system delivers superior performance:
With MKE Tolga Munitions—specifically produced for the weapons in the system and designed to explode near the target, scattering into fragments—and with every component manufactured by MKE, including electronic jamming, anti-drone ammunition, and weapons of different calibers, the MKE TOLGA CIADS provides detection, tracking, and destruction capabilities as a complete system solution including the command and control system:
- Up to 10,000 meters with a mobile radar station capable of tracking and monitoring, electro-optical systems, and jammers
- Up to 3,000 meters with the 35 mm Tolga Weapon System
- Up to 1,000 meters with the 20 mm Tolga Weapon System
- Up to 300 meters with the 12.7 mm Tolga Weapon Systems, destroying enemy drones and aerial targets and providing protection!
With the MKE TOLGA CIADS entering the inventory, the Turkish Armed Forces’ close-range air defense capability—especially against mini/micro UAV threats—is expected to increase significantly.
