SARP is designed to significantly enhance crew survivability and combat effectiveness in modern land warfare environments. Its primary operational purpose is to allow weapon employment without exposing personnel, enabling all observation and firing activities to be conducted from within the vehicle.
From a doctrinal perspective, SARP is optimized for border security, internal security operations, convoy protection, base defense, and low-to-medium intensity conflict scenarios. It is particularly effective in urban and asymmetric warfare, where rapid reaction time and precision engagement are critical.
The system architecture consists of a stabilized weapon turret, electro-optical sensor suite (day camera, thermal imager, and laser range finder), a computer-based fire control system, and an in-vehicle operator console. Thanks to its open architecture, SARP can be integrated into vehicle command-and-control and battlefield management systems.
Two-axis stabilization allows accurate fire while the vehicle is on the move. The automatic target tracking function reduces operator workload and improves hit probability. Laser range finding combined with ballistic computation increases first-round hit effectiveness.
Survivability is achieved primarily through remote operation, keeping the crew under armor protection. Optional armor kits and a low-profile turret design reduce vulnerability to enemy fire. Compliance with military environmental and electromagnetic standards ensures reliable performance under harsh battlefield conditions.
Over time, the SARP family has evolved with different weapon configurations, sensor packages, and software blocks. It serves as ASELSAN’s entry-to-mid-level remote weapon station solution and has been adapted to meet both domestic and export customer requirements.
