The First Step For The TF-2000 AAW Frigate

[AKINCI]

During the latest meeting of the Turkish Defence Industry Executive Committee on 5th January 2012, Aselsan was chosen to develop a Multi-functional Phased Array Radar. This radar will be the main sensor of the TF-2000 air defense warfare frigates Turkish Navy wants to acquire in the next decade.

The Turkish Defence Industry Executive Committee assigned the Undersecretariat For Defense Industries to start, contract negotiations with Aselsan for the first phase of the development of a multi-functional phased array radar.

This is a small but very important step for the TF-2000 AAW frigate project as the design of the ship and its weapons will be directly shaped by the outcome of the Aselsan’s success of developing the MFPA radar or its failure to do so.

I know you said they're chosen to develope the radar, but have there been extensive studies into what the specs of the radar must be to fulfill our needs ?
