Developed by the cooperation of ASELSAN and Roketsan, the HISAR-A + Low Altitude Air Defence Missile was successful in the final acceptance test before entering the inventory.
The HISAR-A + Low Altitude Air Defence Missile, developed by Roketsan within the scope of the Low Altitude Air Defence Missile System (AIHSS) Project, which was initiated by the Turkish Defence Industry Presidency and carried out under the main contractor of ASELSAN, was successful in the final acceptance test before entering the inventory. The HISAR-A + Missile fired from the AİHSS successfully destroyed the high-speed target from long range.
As it will be remembered; the HISAR-A and HISAR-O Missiles, developed to be used in the Low Altitude Air Defence Missile System and the Medium Altitude Air Defence Missile System, were updated as HISAR-A + and HISAR-O + to meet the needs of increased range and altitude limit.
