MILDEN class AIP Submarine

Turkish defense industry to design and develop a new class of Submarine, but to develop the suite of electronics, telecommunications, sensors, propulsion and weapon systems that will be integrated into the Boat

The third phase of MiLDEN includes a two year initial design period (2023-2025), which will involve designing the hull and installation of the AIP system. This will be followed by a three year detailed design period (2025-2028) to include the installation and integration of the systems mentioned earlier. The construction of the first Submarine will start in 2028 and the goal is for it to be delivered to the Turkish Navy in 2033

-- the torpedo countermeasures Sea Crypsis system
-- TUBITAK-MAM is set to develop the hydrophones
-- TUBITAK the vessel’s battery control system and the life support system

 
Tank engine and jet engine are key. And Turkey is still far behind in engine.


even China could not develop Tank engine
the problems with the WS-15 turbofan engine for J20 Fighter Jet needed to be resolved
and WZ-16 Turboshaft engine has been jointly developed by French Safran Helicopter Engine and China AECC consortium


TEI TS1400 Turboshaft gas turbine engine for Helicopters will be ready by 2021 and serial production by 2023

WZ-16 is for Z15, a civilian helicopter, WZ-10 is the official engine for Z20.

Do not drag other countries in, espiecally those you don't know much.


China has developed Turboshaft engines with helping of Russia,Ukraine and France
The domestic WZ-9 engine was designed by the 602 Research Institute, with Ukrainian and Russian assistance

and finally more powerfull WZ10 engine .... from WZ-16 and WZ-9 to WZ-10

China should say thanks to Russia,Ukraine and France for helping to own Turboshaft engine technology


Turkey produce under license American General Electric T700-GE-701D turboshaft engine
and now Turkey develops its own TEI TS1400 Turboshaft Engine ...
T-625 Helicopter will make flight with TEI TS1400 Turboshaft Engines by 2021












ELECTROMAGNETIC RAILGUN TECHNOLOGY



TUFAN

At IDEF 2017, the new railgun system is integrated in a turret which can be used as ground-based station, but the system can be also mounted on a vessel. The Tufan railgun system can be used for direct and indirect firing operations against ground and naval targets. The system can be also used against air targets and is able to destroy missiles






SAHI-209


 
only the US , France and Turkey have developed next gen Targeting Pod in NATO


-- Lockheed Martin Sniper / THE US
-- Thales Damocles / FRANCE
-- Aselsan Aselpod / TURKEY


The ASELPOD will enable the TURAF's F-16s to deploy laser-guided bombs by having the ASELPOD illuminate targets with a laser designator. The ASELPOD can also provide geo-location coordinates, which can be primed to INS/GPS precision-guided bombs
