VERY SHORT RANGE AIR DEFENSE MISSILE SYSTEM INTEGRATION CAPABILITY INDEPENDENT OF THE PLATFORM AND MISSILE TYPE SHOOT-ON-THE-MOVE CAPABILITY
Pedestal Mounted Stinger System, ATILGAN, is a fully automated firing unit using Stinger missiles for very short range air defense.
The main mission of Low Level Air Defense System ATILGAN, is the low level air defense of stationary and moving forward troops, convoys and tactical bases in the battlefield. Besides autonomous operation the system architecture provides coordinated operation with C3I System. The Fire Control Computer has a flexible software/hardware infrastructure in order to meet the future mission requirements that may evolve.
The system has been used on a wheeled personel carrier FENNEK and an armored/tracked personnel carrier M113A2 and it is operated with a three-man crew the driver, the gunner and the commander.
