Aselsan Unveils Turan 100 BR-OM: Mobile Tactical Cloud for the Modern Battlefield

At IDEF 2025 in Istanbul, Turkish defense electronics leader Aselsan introduced the Turan 100 BR-OM, a next-generation mobile tactical cloud system designed to give warfighters seamless, secure, and high-speed connectivity on the move.

The system, showcased on the flatbed of a Toyota Hilux 4×4, integrates a complete suite of advanced communications equipment into a compact, modular unit. It supports VHF, UHF, SATCOM, narrowband and wideband LTE (4G/5G), as well as P25 and DMR digital radio standards. This combination ensures uninterrupted communications in varied and remote terrains, with SATCOM maintaining links even in isolated areas, and wideband LTE enabling high-capacity data exchange.

At its core, the Turan 100 BR-OM acts as a battlefield cloud server, automatically selecting the best available network based on data speed, coverage, and electronic warfare conditions—without requiring operator intervention. Built on an IP-based architecture, the system features end-to-end AES-256 encryption strengthened with AI-driven and quantum-resistant algorithms, giving it strong resilience against cyber threats.

Self-sufficiency is a key feature: the module houses its own generator and air-conditioning for the equipment bay, allowing operation without external power sources. The modular design means it can be fitted to a variety of vehicles, instantly transforming them into mobile communication command posts.

This tactical cloud enables real-time sharing of maps, intelligence, and mission data across field units, greatly improving situational awareness and decision-making speed. The system is fully functional while on the move, ensuring that connectivity is never lost in fast-changing operational environments.

According to Aselsan, the Turan 100 BR-OM is at Technology Readiness Level 7, having already been tested successfully in operational settings. The system also plays a crucial role within Aselsan’s wider “Steel Dome” layered defense architecture, acting as the secure digital backbone for command and control in multi-domain operations.

In essence, the Turan 100 BR-OM offers battle-ready connectivity, cyber-hardened security, and unmatched mobility, making it a powerful tool for modern military forces facing increasingly complex combat scenarios.
