Hisar-A is a Turkish low altitude missile air defense system, its a joint defense program by ROKETSAN and ASELSAN to counter planes, UAV’s and air-to-ground missiles in low altitudes or within 10 kilometers.
History of HISAR Missile defense system:
On April 18, 2007, the Turkish Presidency of Defense Industries initiated the T-LALADMIS program, seeking proposals from both domestic and international defense companies to fulfill low to medium altitude air defense requirements. Following responses from 18 companies, a request for proposal was issued on September 28, 2008, for the acquisition of 18 systems, with options for an additional 27. Initial missile tests for Hisar-A in 2013 and Hisar-O in 2014 paved the way for the production phase. Aselsan was eventually awarded the contract as the prime contractor on June 20, 2015, with sub-contractors including Tübitak Sage and Meteksan Savunma. The contract encompassed a low-altitude system valued at 314.9 million euros and a medium-altitude system (T-MALADMIS) valued at 241.4 million euros. Subsequent successful tests in December 2017 demonstrated capabilities such as steep-trajectory firing and 360-degree protection. In September 2020, improved versions, Hisar A+ and O+, were introduced, with plans announced for a 100 km variant, Hisar-U, preceding Siper.

Radar information regarding HISAR-A:
- ASELSAN Mobile Search Radar is a 3D radar designed for mobile air defense weapon systems with modern radar technologies such as active phased array antenna, digital beamforming and solid state transmit/receive modules. MAR, which can quickly detect, track and classify low-altitude air targets as rotary or fixed wing, also has the ability to create an air picture.
