Operational Purpose and Role
KİRPİ™ is designed to counter Radio Frequency Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RFEIEDs) by disrupting triggering signals before they reach the detonator. In asymmetric warfare and counter-terror operations, improvised explosive devices are frequently activated using GSM networks, VHF/UHF radios, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RF remote controllers, or commercial wireless systems.
The primary mission of KİRPİ™ is to create an electromagnetic denial zone that prevents remote detonation by saturating relevant frequency bands with controlled RF interference.
Doctrine and Concept of Employment
KİRPİ™ operates within force protection and convoy security doctrine. It supports four primary operational scenarios:
Dismounted Personnel Protection – Carried by troops during urban patrol or high-risk missions.
VIP and Convoy Protection – Integrated onto vehicles to provide mobile RF protection coverage.
EOD Operations – Ensures safe approach to suspected explosive devices.
Fixed Site Protection – Deployed at critical facility entrances and checkpoints.
The system can perform continuous barrage jamming or selectively jam specific frequency bands according to mission-defined threat profiles.
System Architecture
KİRPİ™ is built around three core subsystems:
RF Power Layer
Digital Frequency Synthesis
Control & Power Management
This architecture allows rapid adaptation to evolving RF threat landscapes without hardware modification.
Survivability and Protection Philosophy
KİRPİ™ does not provide physical armor protection; instead, it disrupts the electronic triggering chain of RFEIED systems.
