GÖKTÜRK-3 PROJECT SAR PAYLOAD REQUEST FOR INFORMATION


Scope of the RFI: Turkish MOD Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM) has undertaken a project for the procurement of reconnaissance and surveillance satellite system. Payload of the satellite is going to be procured and integrated on an indigenously developed satellite platform. This RFI is issued as the “official” information request document of SSM with the purpose of gathering information regarding the available Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Satellite System payloads.

TAI also is carrying out the preliminary design of the Gokturk-3, a two-phase program to build this military satellite. The company will sign a contract with SSM for production and launching in 2016. The Gokturk-3 will be Turkey's first synthetic aperture radar satellite.

In December 2014 TAI signed a contract with the Turkish government for the Turksat 6A, an X-band communications satellite. It is presently designing the satellite.

Procurement officials say that Turkey hopes to eventually become "nearly independent" of foreign providers in all satellite and space-related programs.
