Zitat:Bayar: Altay MBT will not include foreign parts

Turkey’s first national tank, Altay, which is on display at IDEF’11 – an international defense industry fair in Istanbul, will not include any foreign parts or products, a senior Turkish official said on Wednesday.

Head of Turkey’s Undersecretariat for Defense Industry Murad Bayar said that Altay tanks would be produced fully by national means.

Bayar made his remarks at a signing ceremony between his Undersecretariat and Aselsan, a Turkish defense industry company, which will build electronic systems for the tank project.

Under the deal, Aselsan will produce IFF (identification friend-or-foe) systems for Altay tanks.

The project to build Turkey’s first national main battle tank Altay is carried out by Otokar, a Koc Holding company.

Otokar has completed the concept design of the tank and plans to start works on detail designing which will be followed by production of mockups and tests.

Otokar officials say Altay tanks would be ready for sale by 2016.

Zitat:Fighters Top Turkish Defense Wish List

Turkey is exploring whether it would be feasible to launch an indigenous fighter program, even though the government recognizes that the country still might have to be satisfied with another off-the-shelf procurement. The fact that such an endeavor is being seriously contemplated became clear when the defense ministry’s powerful procurement and industrial agency, SSM, awarded a two-year feasibility study to Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) to explore the “art of the possible.” TAI may reach out to established aircraft makers for help, with Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Saab having already offered their support.

Zitat:AselPOD: New eyes for Turkey’s phantoms, vipers

Aselsan, the leading defence electronics company in Turkey, and one of the 100 largest in the world, has completed the prototype production of its new generation targeting pod, dubbed “AselPOD”.

In late 2010 the company started its integration works on TuAF’s F-4E 2020 aircraft in cooperation with 1st Air Supply and Maintenance Centre Command (1st ASMC) of the Turkish Air Force (TuAF). Integration works will be verified with ground and flight tests on both F-4E 2020 and F-16 Block 40 aircraft. According to sources, as of March 2011, integration works on the F-4E 2020s have been completed and ground vibration tests went without hitch. A TuAF F-4E 2020 aircraft fitted with AselPOD performed its first test flight last April.

Zitat:Turkey reveals stand-off missile, bunker buster


TUBITAK-SAGE Stand-off Missile (SOM) on display aboard a TurAF F-16 Fighting Falcon at the Cigli Airbase in Izmir, Turkey.

Turkish Air Force (TurAF) has revealed two indigenously developed missile systems during the 100th year celebrations at the Cigli airbase in Turkey’s western province of Izmir, TR Defence sources reported on Saturday. Celebrations consisted of public shows by the world’s leading air acrobatics teams, including the USAF Thunderbirds and Turkey’s own Turkish Stars, as well as various other events both on the ground and in the air.

Developed by TUBITAK-SAGE as a result of an ambitious project started in 2006, Turkey’s first indigenous stand-off missile is designed for destroying both fixed and large moving targets at a range of over 180 kilometers. Currently referred to by the TurAF as SOM, it can be used as a precision strike weapon against both land or sea targets. TUBITAK-SAGE officials who spoke to TR Defence at the Cigli airshow said that the initial demonstartion flights of the prototypes were completed successfully at undisclosed locations and the delivery of a first batch of missiles to TurAF would take place by the end of 2011 following more vigorous live firing tests scheduled for the rest of the year.

First Turkish combat helicopter takes to the sky

The ATAK T-129, the first attack and tactical reconnaissance helicopter produced by Turkey entered service with the Turkish Land Forces (KKK) as it conducted its first flight in Ankara on Wednesday.
...

The ATAK program is set to result in the manufacturing in Turkey of 50 combat and tactical reconnaissance helicopters for the Turkish Land Forces using software and equipment produced inside the country.

Zitat:TURKEY’S COUNTDOWN FOR LONG RANGE MISSILES
First national missile's range has been currently increased to 300 km

Turkey's national missile is planned to have a 2,500 km range by 2014.

The missile is named "Sensitive Guided Stand-off Cruise Missile."

The missile has been produced in line with the needs of Turkish Air Forces to hit targets behind enemy lines without entering the range of enemy defense systems to a great accuracy.

Currently, the missile system has 3 different versions all with a range of 180 km.

Zitat:Eine Flotte besteht nicht nur aus Kampfschiffen – auch wenn diese sicher das meiste öffentliche Interesse finden. Zu ihrem effektiven und sicheren Betrieb sind auch zahlreiche Hilfs- und Unterstützungseinheiten zwingend notwendig.

Vor zwei Jahren begann die türkische Rüstungsbehörde mit örtlichen Werften erste Verhandlungen über die Beschaffung eines neuen U-Bootrettungsschiffes. Das einzige aktive derartige Schiff, die gebraucht von der US Navy übernommene AKIN (ex ASR-10 GREENLET), stammt noch aus der Zeit des 2. Weltkrieges, und angesichts des Ausbaus der türkischen U-Bootflottille ist sein Ersatz durch einen modernen, leistungsfähigen Neubau lange überfällig.

Im Oktober 2011 waren die Verhandlungen abgeschlossen, und Istanbul Shipyards erhielt (mit Rolls Royce als Subunternehmer) den Auftrag, auf seiner Werft in Tuzla ein 91-m Submarine Rescue Mother Ship - kurz: MOSHIP - zu bauen, das bis Seegang 6 uneingeschränkt operieren kann.

Hochauflösende, modernste Sonargeräte erlauben effektive Suche nach einem havarierten U-Boot, und ein voll automatisiertes Dynamic Positioning System hält das Schiff dann bei einer Bergungsoperation exakt in Position. Über einen 35-t Kran am Heck wird ein bis zu 600m tief einsetzbares U-Bootrettungssystem in die Tiefe gelassen, das an (NATO-) standardisierte U-Bootluken andocken und Besatzungen übernehmen kann. Einmal an der Oberfläche, können bis zu 32 Evakuierte über eine weiteres Andocksystem ohne jeglichen Druckverlust in eine Doppeldruckkammer umsteigen und in dieser (mit bis zu 5 Bar Überdruck) zur weiteren Behandlung an Land gebracht werden. Natürlich befindet sich auch an Bord selbst ein kleines, aber leistungsfähiges Hospital. Ein Landedeck für einen mittleren Hubschrauber ermöglicht schließlich auch den Lufttransport geretteter Personen.

Natürlich soll das MOSHIP nicht nur weitgehend untätig im Hafen liegen und dort auf den Einsatz in einem – hoffentlich nie kommenden – Notfall warten oder gelegentliche Übungen absolvieren. Im routinemäßigen Flottenbetrieb soll es auch für jede Art von Unterwasseraufgaben eingesetzt werden: von der Unterstützung von Tauchern bei Unterwasserarbeiten bis hin zur Meeresbodenvermessung. Zusammen mit dem MOSHIP wurden bei Istanbul Shipyards übrigens auch noch zwei ebenfalls für Unterwasseraufgaben optimierte, neuen SAR-Schiffe/Schlepper bestellt.
