Uruguay Selected Aselsan for Border Security

Within the scope of this border security system in which target acquisition, classification and monitoring shall be accomplished by the reconnaissance-surveillance radar, the electro-optic components enable the operator to monitor in all weather conditions and in night and day. Aselsan reconnaissance-surveillance radar provides multi-target acquisition within the 360 degrees scanning and keeps the risk of getting identified by the targets owing to its low power output.

Aselsan made a comprehensive field study at the pilot regions determined in the land and maritime borders of the country and analyzed the critical regions through interviews with the officials. By proposing the both technically and financially most compliant system to the Uruguay Armed Forces, Aselsan stood among its rivals. Uruguay Army aims to prevent one of the region’s greatest problems - smuggling and other illegal activities around the borders through this purchase.

Transfer of the data collected from the sensors to the regional and central command control centers and expansion of the Project to all the borders of Uruguay is planned for the future. The border monitoring systems are becoming more and more important for mainland security in the recent years and are among the priorities of the countries’ defence supply planning. This contract is also important as it is a reference in Aselsan’s talks with the potential clients in the area of coast and border security.
