Aselsan Avionics Designed for the Hürkuş-B

For the New Generation Basic Trainer Aircraft Hürkuş-B, Central Control Computer (CCC), Graphics Multi-Function Display (GMFD-68), Intercommunication System (ICS-300) and Aselsan Navigation System (ANS-511) have been indigenously developed by Aselsan. In addition to the MXF-484 V/UHF Airborne Radio, MXF-243A Remote Control Unit and AN/APX-123 IFF Transponder that are provided by Aselsan, Digital Map and Operational Flight Program (OFP) are also developed by Aselsan within the scope of the program.

On aircraft, there are two CCCs working redundantly, providing the ability to control avionic systems from single source and reducing pilot’s workload during the flight with its advanced processing capability and interfaces providing platform information to the pilot. CCC, having high performance and storage capability, interface diversity, modular hardware and software design, can be easily integrated into various airborne platforms.

Hürkuş-B Aircraft utilizes six GMFD-68 in total, three on front and three on the back cockpit. GMFD-68 displays information prepared by CCC to pilot. Each GMFD-68 works independently and any page can be reached from any display. GMFD-68 is an advanced display system, with its internal graphics generation and processing capability, eliminating the need for external symbol generation and allowing display of flight, engine, digital map, simulated weapon, simulated radar or a number of other functions. GMFD-68 displays Primary Flight Display (PFD) data obtained directly from equipment on the aircraft.

Turkish Utility Helicopter Program – An Industrial Partnership Expected to Span at Least 3 Decades

--Industrial input into Sikorsky T70 helicopter--

Defence Turkey: What would you like to say on the responsibilities and business portions of the main contractors and sub-contractors in the development, production and integration processes?


TAI, as the prime contractor, will perform the final assembly, customization, and flight test for each T70 aircraft. Additionally, TAI also will manufacture the helicopter fuselage, empennage, and composite rotor blades.

Sikorsky is the main subcontractor to TAI, delivering the technical data, technical training, technical assistance, aftermarket support, and helicopter components in the form of Kits to enable TAI to build the T70 helicopter based on the S-70i Black Hawk platform.

Sikorsky is also collaborating with Aselsan on the development of a new avionics suite for the T70 known as the Integrated Modular Avionics System (IMAS). IMAS is a collaborative design by Aselsan, Sikorsky, TAI and pilots serving the Turkish Armed Forces to meet the requirements of Turkish T70 operators and other potential customers. This enhanced digital cockpit will provide Turkish pilots with powerful smart displays, point-and-click functionality to speed input of pilot commands, and ergonomic enhancements to the Pilot Vehicle Interface that will reduce pilot workload. Navigational improvements tailored to Turkish requirements will include an integrated Terrain Avoidance Warning System, an integrated advanced digital map, and coupled flight control functions for guided approaches to landing zones. As you may know, in March 2017, Sikorsky transferred to Aselsan an S-70i helicopter, which was built by our PZL Mielec factory in Poland. This helicopter will be used as the prototype for the integration, test and qualification of the IMAS. After the qualification of the cockpit, Sikorsky will deliver this Prototype helicopter to TAI.

Alp Aviation will perform precision machining of the T70 helicopter’s dynamic components, mechanical flight controls, transmissions and landing gear assemblies.

TEI will build the engines for the T70 under license from General Electric.

The blackhawks have become the backbone of Turkish Land Forces over the years. The helicopter has been utilised in all sorts of theatres and combat missions. I am glad TAI is doing some assembly/production work in the T-70 project, gaining some experience and know how to further develop its own units in the coming decades.
