Turkish Missile Programs

Roketsan New generation composite rocket fuel and warhead explosive components (known)

  • ADN (Ammonium dinitramide) = Development completed successfully. (smokeless, insensitive composite rocket fuel which provides %10 more propulsion compared to other oxidizers.)
  • AZP (Azido Polymer ) = Development completed successfully. (new generation, less smoky/smokeless, insensitive and a high energy polimer binder is capable of providing an increase in ballistic performance.)
  • AO3105 (Antioksidan) = Development completed succesfully. (Used in flight engine composite solid rocket fuel and primer formulation of OMTAS missile)
  • IPDI (Isophorone diisocyanate) = Development completed successfully. (Used as a curative in flight engine fuel and primer formulation of OMTAS missile)
  • TDI (Toluene diisocyanate) = Development completed successfully. ( Toxic and highly reactive organic compound)
  • EKZO (Synthetic Jet Fuel) = (1,5t capacity/year production, It is vital for air breathing cruise missiles)
  • HNIW (HexaNitroHexaAzaIsoWurtzitane) = Development completed successfully. (That is very dangerous compound to synthesis and one of the most powerful explosives known today)

Roketsan has finalised development of a new 160mm-calibre manportable/vehicle-mounted medium-range anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) weapon system for the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF).

The new missile – designated OMTAS – is intended in the first instance to meet a Turkish Land Forces Command requirement for an indigenously-developed medium-range ATGM to replace its current 152 mm BGM-71 tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided (TOW) and 103mm Milan wire-guided command to line-of-sight ATGM capabilities.

OMTAS is a day/night all-weather weapon system featuring both direct attack and top attack modes, and lock-on before launch, lock-on after launch, fire-and-forget, and fire-and-update operating modes. The missile is 1,800mm in length (including the launch tube and forward and aft shock cushions) and weighs 35 kg (including the launch tube). Designed to engage stationary and moving armoured targets at ranges in excess of 4,000 m (with a minimum engagement range of 200 m), the new missile features a dual thrust (boost and sustain) rocket motor, an uncooled imaging infrared (IIR) seeker assembly, a two-way radio-frequency datalink, and a high-explosive tandem charge warhead designed and delivered by TDW in Germany, and now being developed and produced by Roketsan in-house.

“The TAF requirement specified an effective armour penetration, so we’ve migrated the new warhead we designed with TDW for on our longer-range UMTAS helicopter-launched ATGM to the new OMTAS missile,” a Roketsan spokesperson told Jane’s . OMTAS uses other subsystems in common with UMTAS – for example the IIR seeker assembly – however the rocket motor and aerodynamics/geometries of the airframe have been redesigned. The spokesperson noted that Roketsan is also considering the addition of a semi-active laser seeker terminal guidance option for OMTAS, but this will be at a later date and as per customer demand.

@cabatli_53 isn't that HNIW sh*t the material that is so is unstable even when you try to examine it; it explodes? Correct me if I am wrong but does it even usable? I hope I am not confused by another molecule but if that is the material I think; it even explodes spontaneously when you do not do anything with it .

Take a look at those bro. Detail research and comparison among explosive materials are available in those papers.

Would 107 mm rocket launcher with this long vehicle be useful?

Rockets with longer range could be useful but with very short range I don't think.

Could you drive loaded lorry next to front?
122mm would be perfect. I don't think I would use 107mm on that terrain. 107mm is supposed to be very mobile system. For example easier maneuvering trough more mountainous area and also carrying by helicopter where for a big truck or even for a car can be difficult. I think on their terrain its possible to bring this beast close enough for firing. In those deserts the mobility is not a problem but every terrain requires its tactics.
 
Turkish missile & blastic missile program are far ahead compared to Pakistan; Now!

Turkey does not even have a ballistic missile program. Small rockets with sub 1k km range does not equal to advance ballistic missiles.

I wish Turkey have a powerful missile program, however. Stronger Turkey = Stronger Pakistan
