HERİKKS receives air threat information from a variety of radars, produces a recognized air picture in real time and assigns the available air defense weapons to selected targets. HERİKKS is in operational use in Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) since 2001.
HERİKKS comprises command and control units, air defence weapons, air defence radars, communications equipment and air defence system software, which are integrated to meet specific customer requirements.
