Turkish Missile Programs


The Taurus cruise missile has achieved sufficient accuracy, range and reliability (ability to penetrate defenses) to function as an alternative to precision bombing for air forces that cannot expect to launch bombing or cruise missile fire missions reliably in the face of superior enemy fighters and air defenses. Training and competence requirements are much lower than for normal air force assets such as a fighter bomber squadron utilizing guided

A Truck launched SOM Variant could be interesting for Export. It could provide an north African Countryan easy Capabillity to strike high Value Targets from Stand Off Ranges.

At the booth of Roketsan visitors and delegations from Thailand but also from other countries in the region can see the latest technologies and innovation designed and manufactured by Roketsan including the SOM-J first Turkish-made long-range, autonomous, high-precision air-to-surface cruise missile.
The missile is highly effective against moving land / surface targets, high-value stationary targets, strategic assets, shelters, exposed aircraft, aircraft hangars, and command and control centres, as well as sea surface threats. It has resistance against countermeasures as well as clutter effects.
The advanced SOM-J variant is jointly developed, produced, marketed, and sold by Lockheed Martin and Roketsan. The first stage of SOM-J is scheduled for completion in 2018.

The SOM-J is intended to provide anti-surface warfare capabilities to the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter that will enter in service with the Turkish Air Force in the next few years.

Another product showed by Roketsan at Defense and Security 2015 is the UMTAS anti-tank missile. Long Range Antitank Missile System known as “UMTAS” has been designed to fulfill the requirements of attack helicopters against modern tanks with heavy armor penetration.
The system is capable of operating in all weather and day/night conditions with “Fire and Forget” and “Fire and Update” modes with a maximum range of 8 km. UMTAS with the flexibility provided by its Lock-On-Before Launch, Lock-On-After Launch, Lock-On-Update capabilities, offers extensive engagement to targets behind the mask position with adjustable hit point and enabling damage assesment.
UMTAS comes in two versions, primary version is equipped with Laser Seeker and the follow-up version will home an Imaging Infra-Red (IIR) Seeker to be used from a common launcher. Both are equipped with state of the art technologies making it effective against all armoured threats of the modern battlefield.

The development and qualification phases of the Laser version L-UMTAS have been completed. Previously, L-UMTAS has demonstrated its capability from T – 129 ATAK helicopter against land targets and recently L-UMTAS has been fired from SH-60 to a target on sea . With the success of these firing tests, L-UMTAS production has been started for the Turkish Armed Forces to be delivered within 2015.

Wow , massive threat from Russia :


Russian Chief General: We shall provide Syria with accurate missiles so that they can target Turkish president's bedroom
Moscow Times – The hawkish Russian chief of Staff, General Valery Gerasimov, slammed the U.S. deceitful policies in the crisis riddled Middle-East region, accusing Turkey --a NATO member-- of facilitating terrorists’ attacks on Syria, Moscow's traditional Arab ally.
Moscow Times – The hawkish Russian chief of Staff, General Valery Gerasimov, slammed the U.S. deceitful policies in the crisis riddled Middle-East region, accusing Turkey --a NATO member-- of facilitating terrorists’ attacks on Syria, Moscow's traditional Arab ally.

"Since 2011, Mr. Obama sought to topple the democratically-elected president of Syria , for more than four years they fabricated stories to tarnish the Syrian government , all these years Obama and his henchmen—namely Turkey’s Erdoğan — tried to destabilize the region which left hundreds of thousands of innocent Syrians killed or displaced”, RIA Novosti quoted General Gerasimov as saying.

Here in Moscow we were keen on discerning how much public support there is for Erdoğan, added Gen. Gerasimov, and now we believe he is nothing but a megalomaniac despot dreaming to restore the rotten Ottoman Empire by subjugating Turkey's neighboring countries; but as it concerns the Russian Federation, the more Erdoğan supports his al-Qaeda mercenaries, the faster will come his fall.

Through the history Russians never dumped their allies, and according to orders issued by Mr. President [Putin], the best of Russian elite forces will soon put boots on the ground in Syria to annihilate Saudi and Turkish-backed terrorists," said Gen. Gerasimov, adding that Moscow will provide Syria with accurate ballistic missiles to target Erdoğan’s own bedroom, so that Turkey and Syria can get rid of the Hitler of Middle-East.

Meanwhile the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed surprise on Monday over White House’s warning to Russia about escalating the 4-year civil war in Syria. Foreign Ministry stated that the Kremlin’s Syrian policy — in particular, supplying military aid to help the Syrian army confront terrorists — had been coherent with Moscow's long-term agenda in the Middle-East.
“We have always supplied equipment to them [Syrians] for their struggle against al-Qaeda terrorists,” Maria V. Zakharova, the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said in an interview. “We are supporting them, we were supporting them and we will keep on doing so” in that fight.
General Gerasimov concluded his statement by saying; “We will never abandon our allies and together we will defeat Obama, this time on the Syrian soil.”
 
DUBAI: NorthStar to work on armed Bell 429

...Bell has not previously looked at arming the 429, says Patrick Moulay, vice-president global sales and marketing. It prefers to leave this to “experts” like NorthStar and concentrate on “getting the most capability out of the aircraft”.

In the meantime, NorthStar is working to increase the range of munitions available on the 407 MRH, including the R-model of Lockheed Martin’s AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-surface missile and Roketsan’s Cirit guided rocket....

Hisar u doesn't even exist yet. these are concepts.....


The problem is not the design to ‘Arama Radari’, ‘Atis Kontrol Radari’ or ‘Fuze Firlatma Sistemi’.

All these systems are already mastered to almost 70 to 80%.

'Hisar-U' is just one missile 'Hisar-O' bigger (With element like MK 104 Dual Thrust Rocket Motor - DTRM - and Third Stage Rocket Motor), more powerful fist stage with booster like MK 72 (SM-3 Block IB), more maneuvering.

5/8 years for improved, develop them further will not an insurmountable ordeal.

No, the real very hard big challenge is the development of a ‘Lightweight Exo-atmospheric Projectile (LEAP)’ - Kinetic Warhead -.




It is impossible to develop without a complete mastery of launch and placing on space orbit - Space Launch System -.

.
Did i say the contrary? I was merely pointing that the photo given by the post above mine, was a concept....

Also
Hisar a/o is going to be delayed for an additional 2 years receptively, due to the armed forces 'not approving' the short ranges they have. According to the article they will try to increase the ranges.
