“Azerbaijani Air Force is mainly deploying the IHAVASAR system along the disputed border with Armenia to detect and suppress low flying UAVs, ‘’ Aselsan added.

IHASAVAR is a handheld-backpack Anti-Drone Jammer System designed to protect military bases, facilities, high value assets, ceremony/meeting/demonstration areas, checkpoints and VIPs against drone/mini-UAV attacks by jamming the Remote Control Frequencies, GPS/GLONASS Satellites Navigation Frequencies and Data Link/Telemetry Frequencies of Drone/Mini-UAVs simultaneously.

Aselsan's İHASAVAR, removes the need for sensor systems to track drones/mini-UAVs and provides a cost-effective solution by giving the ability to security personnel to take down a drone/mini-UAV at the first sight.
