Turkey's leading defense systems producer, ASELSAN, is set to exhibit the Defense Torpedo Against Torpedoes (TORK) technology for the first time at the 12th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF'15). Thanks to TORK, which has been developed in Turkey and has original hardware and software, ships will navigate the seas more safely. IDEF, which is one of the world's four leading defense industry fairs, will be held in Istanbul between May 5 and May 8. New defense industry products will be showcased at IDEF, which is a significant presentation center and an international market area for other participant countries and defense industry companies, as well as for Turkey. As one of the most important participants in the fair, ASELSAN will debut TORK for the first time at the fair. The most effective defense against a torpedo threat faced by submarines and surface vessels is provided by the joint use of Soft-Kill (Physical Destruction) and Hard-Kill (Functional Destruction) methods. TORK has the capability to destruct acoustic-guided, wire-guided, unguided and slipstream-guided torpedoes that are aimed at surface vessels. TORK counters torpedo threats that are approaching platforms by measuring distance and direction. When it reaches the destruction destination, it deactivates the threat through detonation.
