Systems and electronics house Aselsan has announced a EUR4.68 million (USD5.09 million) contract with fellow Turkish technology and systems manufacturer Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik ve Ticaret (STM) to supply close-in weapon systems and communications equipment for the Pakistan Navy's under-construction fleet tanker.

Aselsan said in a 20 July statement that it would supply its STOP stabilised gun system and Communication Switch System (MAS) to be installed on the tanker in 2016.

STOP mounts a 25 mm gun on a two-axis stabilised turret that also features an electro-optical (EO) sensor suite and fire-control software. Aselsan said the EO sensors included a thermal camera, TV camera and laser rangefinder.

STM signed a contract in January 2013 with Pakistan's Ministry of Defence Production to provide technical and material support for the construction of the double-hull fleet tanker, which is being built in-country by Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW). STM is supplying materiel, integrated logistic support, training tests, and trials, along with consultancy and management support for the four-year programme.

The new tanker displaces 15,600 tonnes, is about 155 m in length and will be equipped with replenishment-at-sea rigs and a helicopter flight deck. It is to be powered with a conventional all-diesel machinery plant, driving controllable pitch propellers, and will be able to achieve a speed of 20 kt.

Yeah I saw the point defence turret in ideas 2014. The army had special plans for them but were dropped.

I hope it gets completed on time.

STOP is a new generation, cost-effective, medium caliber weapon system for naval platforms fitted with 25mm KBA or 25mm M242 Bushmaster Automatic Canon. The system provides lightweight, versatile and effective means of force protection for applications ranging from capital ships to patrol craft
STOP has exceptionally high hit and kill probability with an impressive firepower comprising of a two-axis stabilized turret containing an electro-optical sensor suite and fire-control software. STOP is capable of acquiring targets and engaging them autonomously either via the ship's Combat Management System or by use of own sensors The optical sensor suite of STOP provides enhanced situational awareness and the ability to identify threats day or night, in all weather conditions
The high accuracy of STOP is achieved by using sophisticated stabilization algorithms and powerful servo drive/control system in both traverse and elevation enabling precision engagement on the target and fire execution under the coordination of a state-of-the-art fire control computer
STOP can detect, identify, deter, engage and destroy threats with a versatile sensors-weapon combination situated on a fully stabilized turret that can be operated from a remote control console Latest technology fire control capability enables STOP to auto-track a moving target while the carrier platform is stationary or moving.
