Standoff Jamming (SOJ) platforms are high-value assets that suppress adversary air defence radars, disrupt command and control cycles, and interfere with communications by conducting deception and noise jamming from long ranges without entering hostile airspace. By doing so, they create corridors through which friendly air forces can penetrate enemy airspace. The effective employment of these platforms has become an undeniable reality of modern warfare, acting as a force multiplier and generating powerful asymmetric effects.
Through the HAVA SOJ Project, carried out by the Secretariat of Defence Industries (SSB), four Airborne SOJ Systems will be delivered to the Turkish Air Force Command, along with associated facilities including hangars, squadron buildings, and a planning and training center.With this project, the Turkish Air Force Command will have radar and communications Electronic Support/Electronic Attack (ES/EA) systems integrated into HAVA SOJ aircraftswhich retaincapabilities indigenously acquired throughout domestic resources.
