The Tracked one looks amphibious , like an AAV (Amtrac). Or an Tracked Pars

That would be great.

When you look at beginning tracks they are at very high position. So i think it's an AAV...

Any more clearer on what FNSS is going to reveal ?

What about the wheeled one, could it be MRAP ?

"Similar to the Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) programme the Weapon Carrying Vehicle programme will pit FNSS against Turkish rival Otokar. FNSS said its 4x4 and tracked designs will be completely new, and the 4x4 design could be displayed at the IDEF exhibition in Istanbul in May."

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey's International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) used to be a platform for foreign manufacturers to showcase their weapon systems.

The Turks examined them and contracts often followed. But at IDEF 2013, Turkish firms exhibited their indigenous systems, so far with little or no success, to secure foreign deals. At this month's IDEF, they'll try again at a show that will see more Turkish systems and further ambitions to export them.

Turkish officials and analysts say this year's show will feature "a more mature" Turkish industry eager to sell more and to sign up partnerships rather than off-the-shelf acquisitions.

IDEF '15 in Istanbul will bring together more than 400 companies from 32 countries on May 5-8. Those numbers compare with nearly 800 companies from 51 countries at IDEF '13.

"Turkey's procurement bureaucracy and industry will be struggling hard to not buy but to sell or partner with [foreign companies], in view of long-term alliances aimed at third-country markets," a senior IDEF official said. "Turkish companies will exhibit both new products and relatively more mature versions of what they exhibited two years ago."

A procurement official said the event may see an official announcement on a roadmap for the design, development and production of a regional jet that will have both civilian and military use.

Turkey's top procurement panel, the Defense Industry Executive Committee, chaired by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, convened April 27 and approved the indigenous regional jet program. The planned aircraft will be based on a Dornier model if negotiations succeed.

Turkey hopes to build the Dornier jet-based aircraft for military missions in the Air Force and the Navy. Hundreds of aircraft will be produced for aerial, border and naval surveillance, small cargo transport and ambulance missions.

During the show, procurement officials also may announce their plans to proceed to the second phase of the country's ambitious indigenous fighter jet program. The Turkish government plans to allocate up to $1 billion for the second phase. Turkey wants to fly its national fighter jet by 2023.

Industry executives said IDEF '15 also will see new land systems showcased, including wheeled and tracked armored vehicles and integrated turret systems.

"Land systems will have a prominence during this year's show," a source said.

A smart ammunitions deal aiming at sales to third markets is in the pipeline, they said, involving Turkey's state-controlled ammunition maker MKEK and a German manufacturer.

"From the Turkish viewpoint, the event is a major opportunity to secure export contracts," another procurement official said. "There will be several different systems [which] we hope will lure customers primarily from Turkey's regional vicinity."

Turkey has high hopes to market its locally made drones, a basic trainer aircraft, rockets, naval platforms and an attack helicopter it co-produces with Italian-British company AgustaWestland, part of Finmeccanica.

Turkey's defense exports reached an all-time high of $1.6 billion in 2014, an increase of 18.7 percent from the previous year.

Turkey targets $2 billion in exports this year and an ambitious $25 billion in 2023, although analysts and industry view this as an unrealistic target.

Interesting when you consider Sierra-Nevada bought Do-328's IP rights from AVcraft 3 months ago (Feb 6)
New era for Dornier 328 with Sierra Nevada acquisition - 2/18/2015 - Flight Global

Maybe SSM encouraged SN to buy the IP rights.

Yep, What is being talked is 328 which is on the table. In terms of military requirements, 328 is more or less similar with CN-235 so They most probably want to meet military requirements primerily. Thanks to experience gained from that project, The institute may develop bigger variants since The target was to develop 90-100 seat capable airliner in mid term. It is expected to be announced by Davutoglu.

And according to this, it's 766.

But also in their site, (Haberler section in the left) It says; 6 ülkeden 135 heyetin davet edildiği ve bugün itibariyle katılımı kesinleşen 32 ülkeden 404 firma ve firma temsilciliği ile IDEF’15 için geri sayım devam ediyor.

Seems like they didn't update it for a while....and as always Ege Burak Bekdil, never misses to opportunity.
