3th Turkish Naval systems seminar

[cabatli_53]

The news reflected to media...

1. The second SAR ship being constructed by RMK will be launched in November and the sea trails of the first ships will begin in December.

2. The first NTPB AB-1200 Patrol Boat is scheduled for commissioning toward the end of the year.

3. There is a lot of progress made regarding the sea based guided weapon systems. The rumor is that the Norwegians are short of achieving a sales and export break through for their NSM.

4. The right conjuncture is being waited for the TF-2000 air defence frigate and next generation of AORs.

5. The sixth ship to receive the Genesis is F-495 TCG Gediz. She will also have the Mk-41 VLS systems integrated. But the 3D Smart radar will not be delivered on time so she will receive another overhaul for the radar. She is estimated to be ready at the end of the year but this estimation may be a little too optimistic.

6. Network centric warfare is a buzz word here too. New combat management systems will have integrated Link-11-16-22 capabilities.

Ziya Ulusoy from Havelsan introduced 3 subsystem developments for submarines:
1.SEDA Submarine command control system (An Equivalent of ISUS-90
2.Software test platform Sinarit

The SEDA (Sonar integrated fire control system) is build up around 6 consoles:
2 sonar consoles
1 weapons console
1 command control console
1 tactical navigation console
1 sensors console (periscope, radar, ESM, datalink, WAIS)

SEDA contains the following systems;
TAS (Towed Array Sonar), FAS (Flank Array Sonar), PRS (Passive Ranging Sonar), CTA (Cylindirical Transducer Array), CHA (Cylindirical Hydrophone Array), MAS (Mine Avoidance Sonar) and ONA (Ownship Noise Analysis)

SEDA can operate DM2A4, MK48 Mod6AT, Future Domestic Turkish torpedos and Mk37 torpedo's

Our industry meets 46% currently of our military's needs. By the end of this year it is going to rise to 50% so half and half.

Good to know that, It is always healthy to have a indigenous industry and production line in the long run. It puts the country in a healthy position in perilious situations.

Our industry meets 46% currently of our military's needs. By the end of this year it is going to rise to 50% so half and half.

As jigs told, Those figures will have been catched until the end of this year but You know Some critical Turkish domestic defence programs started maturing new. Many of them are on design/trial phase so It is expected that National contribution rates will be increased rapidly, When Those programs passed into serial production phase...

Turkey has more than 3500-4000 foreign MBT (most of them are obsolete) in inventory but Domestic one are on prototipe production phase...

Semi-Domestic Attack helicopters are on development phase While More than 40 foreign helicopters are in inventory now a days.

In near future, All Navy fleet will have been replaced with domestic naval platforms..

I think All those will rise the national contribution of Turkish defence industry up to %75...

Serious Turkish weapon development with permenantly alter the strategic demographics of the world particularly east.
