BMC Power engines will be used in marine systems
The engines developed by BMC Power will power the marine systems.
BMC hosted members of the press and researchers at its facilities in Sakarya. At the meeting, which Defense Turk also attended, it was announced that the engines developed by BMC Power would also be used in marine systems. In this context, it was reported that talks were made with shipyards such as Sefine, Yonca Onuk, Ares and Dearsan.
As a result of the negotiations, it was stated that cooperation protocols were signed and the engines for the unmanned sea vehicles would be marinated. Within the scope of Marine, some changes will be made in the engine. In addition to this situation, it was announced that studies will be carried out to develop generators from the mentioned engines.
Engine and generator solutions for offshore platforms from BMC Power
Mustafa Kaval, General Manager of BMC Power, announced that BMC Power developed engine and generator solutions for marine platforms by marinating its existing engines. The integration studies of AZRA, which is the first engine that BMC Power marines, to Marlin SİDA, which was developed in partnership with ASELSAN-SEFINE, continue. Discussions on the use of BMC Power engines in other S/IDA systems are ongoing.
Following the integration of the AZRA engine to
Marlin SİDA , which is Turkey's first SIDA with electronic warfare capability, other engines such as UTKU and BATU will also be marinated and used on naval platforms. Apart from the propulsion system, the engines developed by BMC Power can also be used as diesel generators that provide the necessary electricity for the sensors, command-control and weapon systems of the ships. For the marination of the engine, changes are required in components such as cooling systems (eg seawater cooling).
