Turkish modernization programs made Fighter Jets , Tanks , Frigates and Submarines more lethal, survivable and network-centric weapon systems
-- F-16 CCIP Fighter Jets
-- M-60TM Tanks
-- GABYA class Frigates
1 ) F-16 CCIP ( Common Configuration Implementation Program )
The Israeli Soufa F-16I and Hellenic F-16 Block 52s are equipped with the latest version of Northrop Grumman APG-68(V)9 Radar
CCIP modernization made Turkish F-16s more lethal, survivable and network-centric weapon system
CCIP Modernization for 163 F-16C/D block52 standard ( $3,9 billion ) between 2010 and 2015
AN/APG-68(V)9 Radar
Link-16 System
Self-Protection Electronic Warfare Suite (SPEWS II)
Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing Systems (JHMCS)
AN/AVS-9 Night Vision Goggles (NVG)
Modular Mission Computer
Advanced interrogator/transponder
Integrated precision navigation
LCD Color MFDs
Improved AVTR System
Multifunctional Information Distribution System
High speed Anti-Radar Missile Targeting System
COCKPİT
Modular Mission Computer , Advanced interrogator/transponder , Integrated precision navigation , LCD Color MFDs , Improved AVTR System
AN/APG-68(V)9 Radar
Self-Protection Electronic Warfare Suite (SPEWS II)
SPEWS-II is an advanced, internally mounted self protection system specifically designed for F-16C Block 50 Fighter Jets
Aselsan has started deliveries of 60 SPEWS-II to the Turkish Airforce
-- Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)
-- Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) Suite
-- Deceptive RF jamming
-- Intelligent control of chaff/ flare dispenser systems
Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)
JHMCS provides support for raster scanned imagery to display FLIR/IRST pictures for night operations and provides collimated symbology and imagery to the pilot
Turkish F-16 pilots use JHMCS helmet displays targeting information on the helmet visor to allow pilots to lock-on and attack air-to-air (JHMCS+AIM-9X)
The systems gives flight crew members the ability to rapidly acquire and designate a target simply by looking at it
-- 26 km AIM-9x sidewinder
-- 120 km AIM-120C7 AMRAAM
Night Vision Cueing and Display (NVCD)
The JHMCS provides the pilot with "first look, first shot" high off-boresight weapons engagement capabilities. The system enables the pilot to accurately cue onboard weapons and sensors against enemy aircraft and ground targets without the need to aggressively turn the aircraft or place the target in the Head Up Display (HUD) field-of-view for designation. Critical information and symbology, such as targeting cues and aircraft performance parameters, are graphically displayed directly on the pilot's visor
Pilots depend on JHMCS to successfully execute air-to-air and air-to-ground tactical missions during daylight
NVCD/ ANVIS system is now matured to expand this critical capability to night missions
Link-16 Tactical Data Link
Link 16, Military Aircraft as well as Ships and Ground Forces may exchange their tactical picture in near real time. Link 16 also supports the exchange of text messages, imagery data and provides two channels of digital voic
Navigation & Targeting Pods
Turkish F-16s were the first F-16s outside the USAF to receive LANTIRN pods.
Its first LANTIRN equipped Block 40 F-16C in February 1994 and total of 158 F-16s were modified to accept LANTIRN ( Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting InfraRed for Night )
Aselsan has started deliveries of ASELPOD next generation targeting pods to the Turkish Airforce for day and night operations
SEAD/DEAD Role with exceptional results
CCIP modernized F-16s are equipped with the APG-68(V9) Radar, a secure-voice communication system, new radar warning receivers and the ability to carry and launch the AGM-88 HARM anti radiation missile , AGM-84 SLAM-ER and SOM Cruise Missiles for true SEAD capabilities
-- 150 km AGM-88 HARM anti radiation missile
-- 280 km AGM-84 SLAM-ER Cruise Missile
-- 280 km SOM Cruise Missile
AESA Radar by 2022
Aselsan AESA Radar is being pitched for integration on the Turkish air force's fleet of F-16s
AESA Radar will be capable of non-co-operative and automatic target recognition, while also featuring protection against radar frequency jamming, and has electronic support and electronic attack functions
Its air-to-air capabilities include extended-range search, track while scan modes and weather detection, as well as multiple target tracking, providing mid-course guidance for missiles and battle damage assessment.
For ground surveillance applications, the design features synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and ground moving target indication/tracking (GMTI/T) modes, along with air-to-ground ranging
Aselsan believes its AESA radar could eventually compete with systems such as Northrop Grumman's APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar

2 ) M-60TM Tanks
Turkey selected a further modified version of the Sabra for its upgrade program, which was intended as a stopgap measure, and a contract was signed in 2002, estimated to be worth $688 million
170 Tanks were upgraded between 2007 and 2009
-- 1.000 hp MTU diesel Engine
-- MG253 120mm Gun
-- RENK 304S Transmission
-- Explosive Reactive Armor ERA
-- Knight fire control system from Elbit Systems
-- The hybrid electric and hydraulic system
-- Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer (CITV)
-- The RWR/IR warning system, and tracks from the Merkava IV
after the Olive Branch and Euphrates Shield Operations in Syria, the M60T Tanks in the hands of the Turkish Army were modernized with various modifications and changes and took the name of M60TM
-- Close Range Surveillance System (YAMGÖZ)
M-60TM Tanks to have situational awareness in day and night conditions. System includes uncooled thermal camera and color TV camera, and provides a great advantage in threat and target detection and recognition in close/middle range to its user with its 360˚ horizontal field of view in various weather conditions
-- Telescopic Periscope System (TEPES)
It is possible to detect the enemy without being seen to the enemy elements while in the position behind the suture and to make safe surveillance and target detection. Laser distance measurement up to 20 kilometers, Thermal and TV image capture, automatic target tracking, wide surveillance, height can be raised to 2.5 meters with an upgradeable mast
-- Tank Laser Warning System (TLUS)
-- Tank Driver Vision System (TDVS)
-- Fire Suppression System
-- Smoke Grenade Launchers
-- Air Conditioning System
-- Auxiliary Power Unit and Audible Warning System
-- 12,7mm SARP Stabilized Advanced Remote Weapon Platform
-- Interior Primer Protection (SPALL LINER)
Spall Liner is a kind of FRC material used for lining the interior of vehicles to decrease the risk and the effect of spall generated by attacks on the exterior surface
-- PULAT hard kill Active Protection System
Turkish Army M-60TM Tank in combat area - October 2019 / Syria
-- F-16 CCIP Fighter Jets
-- M-60TM Tanks
-- GABYA class Frigates
