Question is, are they able to guide missiles with it?

We will launch low orbit satellites that will form the National Global Positioning System (GNSS).

The team will consist of about 100 satellites and will be a new generation GNSS.


Just like how Ukrainians use Starlink to guide their drones and USVs.


A better solution actually, as LEO constellations are harder to spoof with EW. But you need much more satellites, you can cover all of the world with 4 GLONASS (24 for redundancy iirc) satellites at any given time but here you need 120 satellites (though a lot smaller too) just for the Turkish sphere of influence region

"MURAD 100-A’nın geliştirilmesi ile birlikte ülkemizin bu alanda ilk beş ülke içine girmesi sağlanmış olup GaN (Galyum Nitrat) çip geliştirilmesinden son ürüne kadar her aşaması milli olarak gerçekleştirilen ve uçuşlu testleri başlatılan radarımızın
yüksek adetlerde üretimine yüksek teknoloji altyapılara sahip tesislerimizde başlanmıştır."


ASELSAN has started the production of MURAD-100A in "high numbers"

Some more info form Aselsan magazine latest edition:

- New Kalkan radar called Kalkan-400TWTA under development.
- Aselsan's first AESA radar was the MAR (Kalkan-100G) radar.
- ALP-100G uses the same radar architecture as the ALP-300G.
- STR-700G is primarily used as an arty locating radar, but can also be used as a medium range early warning radar.
- The arty detection capabilities of STR-700G have been integrated into the ALP-100G and thus it can also act as an arty locating radar.
- The original Serhat radar (STR-300G) was designed for locating mortar fire, the newer Serhat-Dual (STR-400G) can detect artillery, MLRS, mini/micro UAVs and paragliders.
- Cenk-200N is a "4D" radar for both air and surface search.

And more but can't be bothered at least for now.

One thing I would like to add about the newer/upgraded variant of the MAR radar now called Kalkan-200G, it's naval equivalent (Cenk-200N) has a higher range (100vs70km) has more advanced features (better ECCM), but more importantly it is "4D" meaning it can electronically scan both in elevation and azimuth as opposed to the -100 variant which could only scan electronically in elevation.

It wasn't specifically stated but, one can expect the Kalkan-200G to have the same capabilities as it naval equivalent, bar the capacity to detect surface targets.
