In parallel with the hardware works for the National Combat Aircraft, one of the most important projects of the Turkish defense industry, a series of software studies are carried out under the leadership of HAVELSAN.
HAVELSAN has been supporting the project since the conceptual design studies started in 2011.
For the MMU Development Project, the first National Combat Aircraft Directorate was established in HAVELSAN in 2020. In the same year, a cooperation protocol was signed with the project's executive Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ). This was followed by the General Conditions Agreement for the areas to be given engineering support. Then, HAVELSAN personnel began to be assigned to the MMU working groups created within the scope of the project.
HAVELSAN's role in the project increased with the MMU Engineering Simulator Visual System Contract and MMU STS Support Contract signed with TUSAŞ last year. HAVELSAN started to provide support in the preliminary design of Training and Simulation Systems, Logistics Information System, Ground Mission Planning System, Propulsion Integration, CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) Threat Detection, Platform Cyber Security technologies within the scope of these contracts.
The works to be carried out by HAVELSAN; It is expected to contribute positively to the project in terms of cost, schedule and performance in the fields of embedded training, engineering, pilot and aircraft maintenance simulator, software technologies, platform cyber security and informatics, logistics support infrastructure.
Software will fly first
5th generation and later aircraft and subsystem manufacturers use engineering simulators in the analysis, design and testing phases to make the right product cost-effectively. With these simulators, basic design decisions are made more accurately before ground and flight tests in the maturation of all flight critical systems. This makes the platform and system cost-effective.
Thanks to HAVELSAN Tactical Environment Simulation, it is possible for the pilot to conduct a simulated exercise in the air. Thanks to the engineering simulator, possible errors or requirements changes in the aircraft flight control and avionic mission systems to be developed can be detected at an early stage and necessary changes can be made.
Contract studies for the development, design and prototype unit production of functions for HAVELSAN's capabilities in the Integrated Communications Navigation Identification System Project within the scope of the MMU Program continue.
Cyber solutions to protect the "flying computer"
Another important need in the MMU Program will be to ensure the cyber security of the aircraft, which is described as a "flying computer". In this context, studies will be carried out to identify, analyze and prioritize security threats throughout the life cycle of the systems to be developed, to put forward the necessary measures to reduce the identified risks and to carry out the necessary activities.
For this purpose, besides determining the test, verification, analysis and simulation needs, cyber security needs will be met by taking into account the security of the software, hardware and communication environment to be used in the operational, maintenance and maintenance processes of the aircraft and its critical subsystems.
There will be no "back door" with the national system
Development studies continue for the use of the Real-Time Operating System, which was developed nationally for the reliable operation of critical technologies, in MMU.
Developed with the cooperation of HAVELSAN and TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, the system will allow minimizing external dependency in safety critical systems, preventing infiltration and interventions, establishing full control over the system, and preventing unauthorized use of system information with unknown "back doors".
