What's new

Turkish Naval Programs

I would not think so, at that spot used to be the Thales Lirod MKII lightweight fire control radar / optronic director.
The fire control for the fast forty twin gun on the back of the ship.

So if it has to be a newer fire control radar to feed the back gun.
It is just SATCOM. These photos are more clear where you can see the gun FCS still there.

I think istif class ships will get some delays due to some restrictions from western countries for example smart mk2 radar,mk41 vls,phalanx(already restricted),light torpedo tubes,essm missiles,but we can have solutions most of them such as gökdeniz,new vls system,new radar,new torpedo launch system,hisar missiles.The killer point is LM 2500 gas turbine and MTU derived pover pack so we cant produce it

30 June 2015, as a continuation of the MILGEM program; it was decided to give the design and construction contracting of the first ship to the Istanbul Pendik Shipyard Command, according to Defense Industry Executive Committee Decision. The ship's design activities took two years. July 3, 2017 , the first steel cut of the Istanbul Frigate was made. Construction and other engineering activities are planned as 3 years and 10 months. The ship will then be delivered to the navy. Expected range is 2021' secon half. As far as I know, there is no problem with the foreign subsystems of TCG Istanbul. Already contract with STM on this issue has already entered into force on September 27, 2019. Besides all the innovations in TCG KINALIADA, significant localization works ( such as MDAS - National VLS ) are tried to be included in the project from the first ship.

In short, it has been known for years that the delivery range for this ship is 2021-2022. The real problem is not about the Istanbul frigate. The other 3 frigates that are targeted to be delivered with an interval of 1 year starting from 2022-2023. Because as far as we know, uncertainty over this tender continues.

In the past weeks, SSB president İsmail Demir answered the question of why there were no contracts for the other 3 ships. He said that the decision on the production of the other 3 ships was pending due to changes that may occur during the production of the first ship. Yes, there is such a ridiculous situation. The construction of the ship started after 2 years of design activities, but design differences are on the table while the ship is on the sled.

In order to reach the target with a reasonable delay, the construction of other ships must be started with ASFAT shipyards. We understand the signals of this from the activities of the intense expansion and modernization that are already taking place in Asfat Military shipyards.

All of us know before the early aircraft carriers, nations build a ships who can carry seaplanes. They lift seaplanes with crane to sea and planes take off in sea and again landing to sea near the ship and ship again take ucav with crane into to ship.

Like that planes

We akıncı they will have aesa radar and aa bvr missile and som-j againts ships. And we cannot use him with heavy loads on our lhds.

But maybe a ship who can carry 10-15 navalized sea takeoff and landable akıncı will be game changer for our fleet. that kinded ship obviously will be cheap and not valuable targets for enemies.

I would love to see similar UAVs but!!!


What about sea condition? Your photo is taken sunny day. When big waves occur the aircraft will never land either take off. In high speed . In high speeds waves become concrete walls... Unfortunately they need smooth waters such as bays or lakes. JATO or rocket assisted take of is good opportunity which was used in early stage of marine aviation moreover cruise missiles are also taking off with rocket power.

Photo Reveals Turkish Submarine Is First With New Capability

War Stocks Rise Amid US Tensions With Iran
Stocks for companies in the defense industry have climbed after the United States killed Iranian General Qassem Sleimani.

Turkey is emerging as a new player in the international submarine business. A Turkish Navy submarine was spotted passing through Istanbul on January 30 with new equipment. Trained eyes spotted an array of twelve white circles just above the waterline. This appears to be the business end of the locally developed Zargana anti-torpedo defense system.

Ship spotters often report interesting vessels transiting between the Mediterranean and Black Seas. The Bosporus Strait goes through Istanbul where the photographers have easy access to the waterfront. A lot of Russian military hardware destined for Syria goes that way for example. Thanks to an international law known as the Montreux Convention, foreign submarines are forbidden to transit there under most circumstances. So the submarines which pass the waiting cameras are invariably Turkish.

This submarine is believed to be TCG Anafartalar (S356), a German designed Type 209/1400 Preveze Class submarine. It is one of four of the class which was built locally at the Gölcük Naval Shipyard. They are going to be given a Turkish developed mid-life upgrade (MLU) over the next few years so this new defensive system may be part of that.

The Zargana Countermeasure System has been developed by Aselsan to protect submarines from incoming torpedoes. It does this by launching salvos of acoustic 'deceptors' and 'jammers.' These are small torpedo-like objects which are launched from tubes under the submarine’s casing. The deceptors imitate the acoustic and movement characteristics of the targeted submarine. This misleads the torpedo into homing in on the wrong target. Meanwhile the jammers emit a broadband high-level noise that drowns out the operating frequencies of most acoustic (sonar) homing torpedoes. This sort of decoy system is known as ‘soft kill’ in defense circles.

Other countries also load torpedo countermeasures aboard submarines, although information is hard to come by about this secretive aspect of underwater warfare. The Russian Navy has fielded the much larger ‘Barrier’ system since the Cold War. This has decoys similar to the Zargana, and may now also include actual mini-torpedoes which try to hit the incoming torpedo.


Turkey is actively marketing the Zargana system. It is known to have been exported to Indonesia for their own Type-209 submarines. And Turkey is upgrading some of Pakistan's Agosta class submarines with the system. These French designed boats will carry part of Pakistan's nuclear deterrent in the form of the Babur cruise missile.

Turkey is also developing an indigenous submarine which may use the system.

How To Build A Culture Of High Expectations

Grads of LifeBRANDVOICE | Paid Program
Leadership

Think back to the first job you ever had. Were you a success from the first day or did you have to learn how to do your job? Did you have a supportive colleague or manager who saw your potential and helped guide you to success in the role?

Facing record low unemployment rates, employers are looking to diverse talent pools to source entry-level hires. One such talent pool is Opportunity Youth - young adults ages 16-24 who are out of work or without a college degree but who possess the 21st-century skills that employers need. There are more than 4 million Opportunity Youth in the U.S., all of whom are eager to add to your organization beyond entry-level roles.


One of the most effective strategies for retaining Opportunity Youth talent and ensuring they can perform at their best is to have clearly-defined workplace expectations and support as they adjust to these expectations.

Setting Expectations

When onboarding new hires, a good manager sets clear and attainable expectations with new team members. By setting clear and agreed-upon expectations, the manager articulates what it takes for the team to be successful.

Managers should consider setting clear expectations around:



  • Timeliness: What does it mean to be "on-time"? What procedures are in place for communicating lateness and/or absence?
  • Appearance: Be specific around what professional appearance means in the context of your team.
  • Attitude: What does it mean to have a professional attitude? What should the team member’s body language, voice tone, and overall attitude "say"?
  • Communication: What are the expectations for professional communication (both written and oral)? What are the norms that you expect them to follow?
  • Productivity: What are the team member’s expected deliverables/outcomes? What is the timeline for these deliverables? When should they ask for additional support?


Whenever possible, these expectations should be written down and reviewed, line-by-line, with newer member(s). Ideally, the team member should sign the expectations at the bottom of the document to note that they understand the expectations and agree to abide by them. Managers should keep this signed copy of the document and review it if necessary with the team member.


Supporting and Re-setting Expectations

We are all human. We all make mistakes. That’s why managers should regularly check in with their team and re-set expectations. A change in the team’s capacity or someone’s role could mean newer expectations for everyone. Alternatively, some team members may not be meeting expectations. In either of these situations, having a one-on-one conversation to clarify and re-set expectations may be helpful.


Keylin Haye, Program Manager at Year Up Boston, outlines a framework that he uses to conduct these “level-setting” conversations.

Like any managerial skill, setting (and re-setting) expectations takes time and practice but it’s a process well worth the investment. When team members know what is expected of them, and feel supported in achieving those expectations, they are more likely to be successful in the workplace. A successful frontline team can mean increased productivity, retention, and sales.

At Grads of Life, we believe that Opportunity Youth are a great source of talent and we want to help businesses reap the benefits of this overlooked talent pool. That’s why we developed the Opportunity Manager Training, an online program made up of short and actionable modules, each designed to help frontline managers learn how to interview, onboard, train, supervise, support and grow Opportunity Youth in their frontline talent.

Learn how we can help your organization improve the hiring, engagement, retention and performance of your frontline talent.
