Turkish Indigenous Rail Gun “Şahi-209” to be Integrated to Naval Assets

The Turkish defence industry is growing day by day. As we shared before, they have been producing key equipment for the Turkish Armed Forces (UAVs, Naval Assets, Guns etc.). With the confidence of the success in recent years, Turkish engineers are very close to a game-changer technology, Electromagnetic Rail Gun (EMRG).

According to the sources in Turkey, Turkish indigenous Rail Gun (launches ammunition with electromagnetic power), Şahi-209, will be integrated to a naval vessel in order to make the sea trials of the Block-II version of the gun. Turkey will be the third country, using the railgun at sea.

In Turkey, works in this field started with pulse power supply production activities in 1972 and continued with the development of the first electronically controlled switching high current control systems in 1985, the first conceptual model has been under development from 2008 until today. A Turkish defence company, YETEKNOLOJI Co., who has started to find national solutions and original designs Electromagnetic Rail Gun Technology, has been working on Şahi-209 since July 2018.

The company, Yeteknoloji, which provides sophisticated weaponry to governments, and in particular military and intelligence agencies in the Middle East and Asia has demonstrated its latest creation, it’s Electromagnetic Railgun (EMRG), known as Sahi-209 Blok 2, to a delegation of defence experts, the company confirmed on 9th October.

Defense Industries, the Turkish Armed Forces, the General Directorate of Security and Mechanical and Chemical Industry Company, were among those to witness the capabilities of the railgun, Fazil Hizal, the head of Yeteknoloji told the Turkish State Agency.

‘Sahi-209 provides ease of logistics, use, operation and storage security by using electricity instead of explosive propellants and shooting barrels with the hypersonic velocity (six times the speed of sound)’ Fazil Hilal said.

“The EMRG can be made operational for land-based platforms within one year upon request,” he added. The contractor’s chief said the defense industries’ paradigm is changing, and if Turkey adapts to these changes it can become one of the top countries in the world.

What’s Şahi-209?

Şahi-209 took the name from “ŞAHİ” which was the most futuristic effective weapon used to demolish the walls of Istanbul by the emperor “Fatih” Mehmed the II, and the date of the establishment of Turkish Land Forces BC 209. Şahi-209 is the only 100% domestic and 95% national electromagnetic rail gun in Turkey.

Using of electricity instead of an explosive propellant for launch provides ease of logistics, ease of use, operation – storage security. It can shoot at hypersonic velocities at and above MACH6 with a very low cost compared to conventional gunpowder systems. RAIL GUN, which has a very low radar cross-sectional area which is faster at hit to the target, which is very difficult to detect. It has a much higher and more destructive power.

ŞAHİ-209 Block1, 1 megajoule pulsed power supply, with 300 gram weight ammunition has a range of 10 kilometers. It can be effective in 50 km range with maximum 10 megajoule pulse power supply which is a new version of ŞAHİ-209 Block2. ŞAHİ 209 Block 2, which has a hypersonic muzzle velocity has a barrel length of 7 meters, started field tests and successfully performed the first shots.

The system will be able to be used in land-based and naval usage or at mobile tactical platforms. In future progress, long-range ballistic ammunition, even the potential for satellite launch can be shown among the advantages of classical systems.

The system, rather than replacing existing systems, as a support element for them; It has the ability to perform operations with maximum security, be very advantageous in terms of logistics, and to execute operations with cheaper and faster hits on the target than other systems.

Exciting! However the last test video I saw wasn't good at all. The projectile looked way slower than hypersonic.

it was not even supersonic, this company is fake, whole project is fraud.

 

[Timur]

it took up 2 or 3 seconds to hit the hill how far away was the hill

was only 350-400mt. enough to see reality.

Xbat are you putty, serkan or something? I remember he think like you.

On the other hand tests not makeing always full power they going step by step. İn the end we will see real gun of course. unless they cannot try so much like that.

no, i am not.

There isnt any considerable reason ,as of now, to install and test a rail-gun on naval platforms. All they need to do is completing the design and experiments on the land prior to drooling over naval platforms for sake of show. They are currently in experimental stage, once their product reaches to dedicated performance they may seek for barges to test their products on. TN should ever provide them a vessel for the test, that rail gun could inversely effect radars and electronics.
Instead of all those, we should immediately adapt Laser CIWS technologies, and develop stronger lasers.

 

[renegademaster]

We have to integrate these laser systems to uavs for neutralizing terorists. Inside our borders we can use it very effectively if our laser able to hit targets from 15000 or 20000 feets.
No need to fit uavs with limited number smart bombs .LLS(Laser Saldırı Sistemi )gives 7/24 unlimited ammo with unlimited antipersonel capacity which we need to hunt moving terrorists with small arms and no armour .
We have chance to get them alive with limited injures. Only few minutes hit with laser takes terrorist out from fighting and if he escapes he cant fight for a long time.Also that gives too much phiscological damage over terrorists.

I think we are overrating the threat of "terrorists" in terms of development of such technology when the real threat emerging for Turkey is countries like the US. Just like China and Russia (and Israel), Turkey should concentrate building high level weaponry to be able to deal with superpowers like the US and Russia and to my understanding, the main way to deal with such countries is blinding their satellite systems.

I'm not an engineer, neither do I have technical expertise in such things. But I believe China has built or working on something that can blind US satellites using lasers: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a29307535/china-satellite-laser-blinding/

At least they've got the right idea in my opinion. The US war machine is highly dependent on satellites and electronic intelligence systems. Take, for example, the F-35. If a country is able to blind the American satellites, F-35 becomes blind metal in the air. Same applies to American missiles and other aircraft (both manned and UAV). If you can blind or take down American satellites, you can take down their aircraft and their smart missiles become useless.

This is what Turkey needs to focus in my opinion.
