Türkiye has successfully completed testing of its indigenous radar signal detection and tactical electronic support pod, known as EDPOD, which was integrated into F-16 fighter jets, the country's industry and technology minister announced Friday.
Writing on the X, Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacır said the system -- whose critical components were developed domestically by Türkiye's Scientific and Technological Research Council (TÜBİTAK) -- has passed all tests against real radar systems.
Türkiye continues to develop critical infrastructures and indigenous technologies that the country needs, he added.
The EDPOD system is designed to identify and detect threat radar systems and missiles, locate them geographically, and extract and record their parameters.
