1. As per reftel request, we spoke with Aselsan (Full name
Aselsan Electronics Industries Inc.) Purchasing Manager
Mehmet Ali Akcoray on June 22 regarding license number
05-1008088. Akcoray relayed our questions to Aselsan's
technical section, which confirmed the receipt of 255 UAV
rings and all details of the contract.
2. Aselsan received the 255 UAV rings (P/N 951735-0001, Alcoa
P/N CA2210-M6R) on November 25, 2006, and is currently
storing them in its warehouse facilities. Aselsan confirmed
that it has purchased the UAV rings for use in the Heron UAV
(Heron Medium Altitude long endurance Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle),as a component of its GPS embedded ring laser Gyro
Inertial Navigation System (LM-100G).
3. The range of the Heron UAV is 200 kilometers when not
interrupted. The UAV's payload consists of a thermal camera
system (Aselflir 300T),an LN100 INS/GPS system, and, for
some UAVs, a SAR radar system.
4. Based on our conversations with Aselsan employees, who
fully answered all of our questions, we believe that the
items will be used for the purposes stated in the license.
