PBP-003 / MK 82-T
PBP-003 is a plastic-bonded thermobaric explosive that contains more than 20% by weight metallic powder. The blast wave formed upon detonation creates more impulse and higher quasistatic pressure in indoor targets (caves, tunnels, bunkers etc.). Moreover, the additional amount of heat generated by burning of metallic powder increases the temperature of the flame and extends total time duration of the flame which enhance the thermal effectiveness of the explosive on targets.
In the scope of TENDÜREK project, a thermobaric explosive (PBP-003) and a thermobaric variant of Mk-82 General Purpose Bomb (Mk-82-T) have been developed.

PBP-003 / MK 82-T
PBP-003 is a plastic-bonded thermobaric explosive that contains more than 20% by weight metallic powder. The blast wave formed upon detonation creates more impulse and higher quasistatic pressure in indoor targets (caves, tunnels, bunkers etc.). Moreover, the additional amount of heat generated by burning of metallic powder increases the temperature of the flame and extends total time duration of the flame which enhance the thermal effectiveness of the explosive on targets.
In the scope of TENDÜREK project, a thermobaric explosive (PBP-003) and a thermobaric variant of Mk-82 General Purpose Bomb (Mk-82-T) have been developed.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
• Enhanced pressure and thermal impact on target
• Highly effective for indoor targets
• Ability to operate under all weather conditions
• High accuracy
• Low maintenance requirement
• Min. 10 years of shelf life
TYPICAL TARGETS
Buried and/or Indoor Targets
• Bunkers • Caves • Command/Control Centers • Tunnels • Aircraft Shelters

OPERATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
• Higher Quasi-Static Pressure and Impulse
• Higher and Longer Thermal Effects
• Strong Destructive Effect
• Increase in Total Flame Volume with respect to Conventional Mk-82
• Increase in Total Duration of the Time The Flame Stays Alive with respect to Conventional Mk-82.

PARM 35 mm AIRBURST AMMUNITION
35 mm Airburst Ammunition (ParM) is deployed against the threats such as air-to-surface missiles, cruise missiles and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) crossed the territory defense under the concept of point, air and missile defense.ParM has the features of airburst ammunition. It forms cloudlike pattern from high density tungsten alloy fragments in order to destroy the target on its path. ParM has an effective range of 4 km. Tungsten heavy alloys for the first time were designed and produced within this ammunition.
ParM is utilized with 35mm Air Defense Guns and KORKUT developed by ASELSAN.
