Turkey’s strategic organization, Elektronik Harp Sistemleri Mühendislik AŞ (EHSİM), exhibited its domestic “JINN” and “SİS” products, developed as electronic warfare shields for air elements, at SAHA 2026. SAHA 2026 International Defense, Aerospace Industry Fair, organized by SAHA Istanbul, Turkey’s and Europe’s largest defense, aviation and space industry cluster, continues at Istanbul Expo Center. At the fair, where Anadolu Agency (AA) is the Global Communication Partner, Turkey’s strategic organization EHSİM, which operates in the field of electronic warfare technologies, stands out with its domestic “JINN” and “SIS” products developed as electronic warfare shields for air elements.
While JINN offers a platform-integrated jamming solution, FOG confuses the enemy by presenting targets as fake targets. Collaboration with TÜBİTAK SAGE EHSİM General Manager Fatih Say made evaluations to the AA correspondent about the company’s new generation electronic warfare solutions and its contacts in SAHA 2026. Reminding that they signed a critical cooperation protocol with TÜBİTAK SAGE in May, Say said that they brought together SAGE, which develops critical missile technologies for the Air Force, and EHSİM’s 28 years of electronic warfare experience.
Say: “We actually joined forces together and collaborated on how we can take our Air Force one step further in the field of operations.” he said. Pointing out that threats against aircraft begin with detection by radars, Say said: “By integrating an expendable, low-cost electronic warfare solution into the systems developed by SAGE, we aim to neutralize the enemy radars of these systems from the front. But we are not talking about electronic warfare threats, that is, any ‘hard kill’ (physical destruction).
“We will work together to find a solution to make the airspace safe for our aircraft by tiring them, confusing them with electronic warfare threats, and keeping them busy by showing them fake targets in the air.” Referring to the game-changing features of EHSİM’s domestic products JINN and SIS, exhibited at SAHA 2026, Say said that the JINN system serves a similar purpose to the project carried out with TÜBİTAK SAGE.
Say stated that JINN aims to neutralize radars at close range by using drones in infiltration operations of front units and special forces, and to saturate air defense operators by dealing with multiple threats at the same time. Pointing out that the FOG system has a completely different function, Say continued: “No method is 100 percent effective. There may be weaknesses in some areas or radar solutions that you cannot defeat.
These are somehow at the point where we cannot overcome with those systems, when there is still a threat to our aircraft and an air defense missile is launched from the ground, FOG comes into play. This time we are actually keeping that missile busy. By showing him a fake target, we are trying to direct him to somewhere else, not to our plane. So we try not to be seen at first. Even though we were seen, this time we are trying to neutralize him by making a move before he sees us.
In this sense, we can say that we are on the field with a holistic solution.” The era of “cognitive intelligence” in electronic warfare Fatih Say stated that today’s war concepts are shaped through technology and autonomous systems, and that it is possible to deceive and render inoperable these systems based on sensors with electronic warfare. Emphasizing that there is constant competition between systems and countermeasures in this field, Say said, “We need to move towards cognitively intelligent systems that use the most technology, the most unknown, the most intense mathematics, and recently, one step further than artificial intelligence, that can actually think, not just respond, but think.” In this sense, electronic warfare is one of the deepest fields of engineering.
“It is necessary to go beyond human intelligence and develop new techniques.” made his assessment. Stating that electronic warfare requires a different approach than classical artificial intelligence, which requires big data because it works with limited intelligence information, Say said, “It goes to a completely different place than the artificial intelligence we use in daily life. There are studies on this subject.
We also have studies. There are studies pioneered by our Presidency of Defense Industries. We will soon see artificial intelligence as a supporting element in electronic warfare in the field.” shared his knowledge. “SAHA 2026 was very productive” Stating that the SAHA 2026 fair was extremely productive and enjoyable for them, Say said, “We had the opportunity to have discussions with many companies about how we could expand our cooperation.
We offered foreign delegations the opportunity to explain, show and experience the products in person at some points.” he said. Source: AA
