ANKARA — The Turkish military does not boast the world's most advanced gear for precision strikes but a number of local programs are progressing, signaling reduced future dependence on foreign systems.

Turkish officials recently reported "critical progress" in three systems they have been developing over the past years.

Procurement officials said the first critical firing tests for the Atmaca, a Turkish anti-ship missile, went "extremely successful."

The Atmaca is a radar-guided anti-ship cruise missile with a range of 120 miles. When the program took off in 2009, the idea was to build an indigenous anti-ship missile "with features similar to the Exocet."

But during its development phase Turkish authorities decided that the Atmaca instead should look like the Harpoon Block II, which is already in the Turkish inventory.

"There is an understanding that the Atmaca will eventually replace the Harpoon," said one procurement official familiar with the program.

The Harpoon is an all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile system, developed and manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing Defense, Space & Security). It was introduced in 1977. The Harpoon system also has a land-strike variant, the Standoff Land Attack Missile. The regular Harpoon uses active radar homing and a low-level, sea-skimming cruise trajectory to improve survivability and lethality.

"The Atmaca will help us move forward to our goal of achieving maximum lethality with minimum cost," said one Navy official. "That target is essential for countries like Turkey that have budgetary constraints."

An Ankara-based analyst said the military is aiming at a "better and cheaper hit" as the local industry has advanced in several indigenous programs over the past years.

"The successful first firing test was a good sign, cementing the military's trust in an industry that is new at developing such capabilities," he said.

The procurement official said the first deliveries of the Atmaca will start at the end of 2016. The first Atmacas will be outfitted to Turkey's Milgem corvettes and frigates.

The missile system is being developed by a team of Roketsan, a state-controlled missile maker; military specialist Aselsan, Turkey's biggest defense company; and ARMERKOM, an Istanbul-based research and development unit of the Turkish Navy.

Rokestsan announced the first autopilot-controlled test missile of its Hisar-A, a low-altitude air defense missile, was successfulin a series of tests June 19-24. Along with the autopilot-controlled test missile, Roketsan said the Hisar-A system's ballistic test missile BTF-2 also was successfully tested.

And on July 2-3, Roketsan said, it successfully tested the Umtas, its anti-tank missile. The Umtas, with its infrared imaging and laser-seeker options, is an anti-tank missile with a range of eight kilometers to be used in air-to-ground and ground-to-ground operations.

Umtas is considered the official anti-tank system for the T-129 attack helicopters Turkey has developed under license from the Italian-British AgustaWestland and the Anka, Turkey's first locally developed unmanned aircraft. Other potential platforms to be outfitted with the Umtas are armored land vehicles and naval vessels.

I am not sure If it's a repost and a right place to post but here is an awesome thesis, written by Necati Ertekin in 2008

''How E-Bombs Benefits Turkish Land Forces

E-bombs may change capabilities of the Turkish Land Forces both defensively and offensively. Any Turkish Land Forces unit equipped with an e-bomb might engage in a new way of war — with significant operational advantages over nations equipped with conventional weapons only.
Communications and command systems are key elements in C4ISR systems for land warfare as well. Such systems are one of the first targets attacked in order to limit the opponent’s operations. The Turkish Armed Forces could use e-bombs to mount an effective attack against an enemy’s C4ISR systems.

Integrating e-bombs into the existing land warfare doctrine might also increase the accuracy and volume of the Turkish Land Forces’ fire in more complex and diverse environments. As seen from the latest land warfare developments, the probability of fighting in urban areas is increasing. Because civilian involvement and collateral damage are also increasing, conventional weapons in such an environment might be hard to use. This leads to increased importance for precise and tunable weapons. Turkish Land Forces may use the proposed e-bomb, with its nonlethality feature, against a
wide range of targets. E-bomb-equipped helicopters or unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) could provide close air support for the Turkish Army. In this aspect, such platforms might target critical command, control, and communication (C3) capabilities, sensors and weapon guidance systems.
The Turkish Land Forces will remain an important component for the national strategy and when enhanced with proposed e-bombs, equipped Turkish Land Forces units would gain a decisive advantage over other nations’ armies, which do not take the importance of this future weapon into account.


How E-Bombs Benefit Turkish Naval Forces

Turkey is bordered on three sides by seas: the Black Sea, Aegean Sea, and Mediterranean Sea. This makes the sea power a critical component of national security. Being equipped with proposed e-bomb could enhance the Turkish Naval Forces’ ability to execute its missions.

Some of the possible threats for today’s naval forces have been defined by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects as:

•Aircraft attack
•Ship-based or land-based helicopters
•Ship-based or land-based UAVs
•Ship-launched or submarine-launched anti-ship missiles (ASM)

•Surface ship gunfire
•Torpedoes
•Mines
(Royal Institution of Naval Architects, 2004)
The greatest threat to the Turkish Naval Forces is probably anti-ship missiles (ASMs). Even though use of e-bombs is theoretically possible, it may be more complex in practice. However, the best defense against an opponent’s missile equipped platforms is to disable the delivering platform. In this aspect, the use of e-bombs may be a good defensive measure since it can degrade the effectiveness of ASM delivering platforms such as aircraft and ship-based/land-based helicopters. In addition, the defense of a ship will be limited to several threat/missiles. That is, if the enemy attacks with more than that number at the same time, the ship will not be able to react/defense against all of them. In such a scenario, the e-bomb may provide great advantage as well, since it makes more difficult the orchestration of saturation missile attacks. In addition to these threats, the most susceptible segments of naval ships are high-technology communication, sensor, and navigation systems. The proposed e-bomb may also be a new way of fighting against these systems aboard enemy ships. In the maritime environment, e-bombs might have limitations due to the limited speed of naval ships. The employment of e-bombs on missiles seems the best solution for naval ships. This requires e-bombs loaded onboard. The
complexity of coupling and potential lethality may preclude e-bombs being a superior alternative to conventional weapons.
However, the implication of e-bombs for Turkish Naval Forces may well provide extraordinary advantages as long as their inherit limitations are well understood. A combination of both e-bombs and conventional weapons is likely the best solution for the Turkish Navy.


How E-Bombs Benefit the Turkish Air Forces

Turkish Air Forces seem to be the component of the Armed Forces on which the proposed e-bomb might have the greatest impact – in both the air-to-air battle and the air-to-ground battle. The number of missiles that an aircraft can carry limits air-to-air engagements (Thompson and Goure, 2003). Instead of having a limited payload, e-bomb-equipped Turkish fighter aircraft might be effective against numerous air targets. This is likewise a major advance in Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) operations. In the beginning of anywar, defeating opponent’s air defense system is highly important. The anti-radiation missile is commonly used by the aircraft in such operations. Since an e-bomb has the potential to defeat multiple air defense systems, the capability gained by the e-bomb would be a major development for Turkish Air Forces.
The advantage of e-bomb gained for air-to-air battle is similar to that for Turkish Naval Forces. When there are several aircraft as a threat, the multiplier effect of the proposed e-bomb would enhance capabilities to defeat the threat. In addition, the speed and maneuver limit for the Turkish Naval Forces can be compensated for through the much greater speed of Turkish Air Force assets. This makes different e-bomb employment methods such as bomb, glide bomb, etc., useful for Turkish Air Forces aircrafts. As mentioned before, e-bombs are not yet mature, but they offer increasing capabilities for all levels of war. The country that can explore the benefits of such weapons and make investments in research can reap important advantages against military rivals. Therefore, it is time to seriously consider committing more effort to research and development of the e-bomb.''

E-BOMB: THE KEY ELEMENT OF THE CONTEMPORARY MILITARY-TECHNICAL REVOLUTION

It's ok and interesting that we follow the trends just at time.
EMP bombs can be fired from tube artillery, airplanes and all carriers

EMP

Kesintilerle ilgili bir flaş iddia daha: EMP bombası! - Güncel Haberler - Bursadabugun.com


http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/…/article/2561733

ıran armed with nuclear missiles poses an unprecedented threat to global civilization.

one nuclear warhead detonated at high-altitude over the united states would blackout the national electric grid and other life sustaining critical infrastructures for months or years by means of an electromagnetic pulse (emp). a nationwide blackout lasting one year, according to the congressional emp commission, could cause chaos and starvation that leaves 90 percent of americans dead.

ıranian military documents describe such a scenario--including a recently translated ıranian military textbook that endorses nuclear emp attack against the united states.

thus, ıran with a small number of nuclear missiles can by emp attack threaten the existence of modernity and be the death knell for western principles of international law, humanism and freedom. for the first time in history, a failed state like ıran could destroy the most successful societies on earth and convert an evolving benign world order into world chaos.

So ther are some studies by the Turkish Army, but ther is no project. For SEAD operations would it be a good weapon.

 

[Hurshid Celebi]

Ok they are online again, I found them ;

they have "155 mm Artillery EMP Rounds in Product "

EW/ECM EQUIPMENT

 

[Hurshid Celebi]

And now some so called "secret" sources , non NUCLEAR EMP Shells or bombs are reality

EMP - BOMB: HISTORY


In 1991, the U.S. Navy used experimental E-bombs for the Gulf War. These bombs used warheads that converted the energy of conventional explosives into a pulse of radio energy.

In 1998, David Schriner, a former civilian electrical engineer for the US Navy, told the Congress that he spent $US500 to buy automobile ignition coils, batteries, fuel pumps and various used hardware in his basement to build an e-bomb. In one week, he built an e-bomb that could make a running car hiccup at 15 meters by overloading its electrical component. So, the Congress agreed to give Schriner a million-dollar contract to see if he could build a truly effective e-bomb out of readily available materials. This proves that an e-bomb is a lot easier to build than a nuclear bomb, and they don't have to be delivered by very high technology missiles.
In 2000, British scientists at Matra Bae Dynamics(British Defence Firm) developed a non-explosive artillery shell serving as an E-bomb that could destroy electrical and electronic systems for miles. This E-bomb uses radio frequencies to destroy enemy’s electronics.
