Turkish Aerospace Industries Shows Off Turkish Delights in Dubai
Nov 12, 2017Tony Osborne | ShowNews
  • COMMENTS 0


    Turkish Aerospace Industries is showing off three aircraft in the static display while the T129 ATAK helicopter is participating in the flying display.

    Anka-S – The Anka-S is a development of the Anka medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned air system which first flew back in 2010. As well as boosting altitude and endurance performance over the original Anka-A model. It is equipped with a satellite-based beyond-line of sight (BLOS) communications system allowing surveillance operations to be performed over the horizon.

    Operational Anka-S’ will be fitted with the Aselsan-developed Common Aperture Targeting System (CATS) high-definition electro-optical camera payload at the nose. It will also be equipped with VHF/UHF radio relay capability allowing it to act as a communications node for troops on the ground. With growing interest in an armed capability, TAI has also added hard points allowing the Anka to fire the Roketsan Cirit lightweight laser-guided rocket and the company’s Small Micro Munition (SMM) also known as MAM-L - a small 50 lb. (22 kg.) laser guided munition.

    Ten examples of the Anka-S have been ordered by the Turkish Air Force.

    Hurkus – The Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6-powered Hurkus trainer is Turkey’s first EASA-certified production manned fixed-wing aircraft. Having made its international debut at the Paris Air Show, TAI is getting ready for flight tests of the Hurkus-B model, 15 of which has been ordered by the Turkish Air Force and kitted out with an Aselsan-developed avionics suite and BAE Systems’ LiteHUD. Flight testing is expected to get underway by the end of this year, and deliveries are expected to get underway in mid-2018. The company has also begun development of the Hurkus-C, a light attack version fitted with three hardpoints, for missiles, guided and unguided rockets and bombs. The aircraft is equipped with an underfuselage electro-optical camera system to find targets and provide guidance for laser-guided weapons. The Turkish Land Forces have signed letters of intent to purchase 12 armed Hurkus, and have options for an additional 12.



    t625-pas-1-.jpg



    T-625 – TAI is displaying a mock-up of the T-625 six-metric-ton medium utility helicopter. The T625 is the first commercial platform to use the Light Helicopter Turbine Engine Company (LHTEC) T800 engines, a powerplant selected for its commonality with the T129 ATAK attack helicopter. T625 features a flat floor in the cabin which can be configured to seat up to 12 passengers. The aircraft also has tankage to carry 1,020 kg (2,248 lb.) of fuel. TAI also claims the aircraft will have a cruise speed of around 150 kt., while endurance will be around 3.8 hours. The T-625 enters a highly competitive market, up against Airbus H160, Bell’s Model 412, the Leonardo AW139 and the Sikorsky S-76. The T-625 is likely to find its first orders from the Turkish military, who want to replace the aging Bell UH-1 Iroquois, and the Turkish national police which wants to base helicopters in many of the country’s major cities. First flight is planned for September 2018 with civil certification in Turkey by the end of 2020. European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification will follow later.



    T129%20ATAK%20paris.jpg



    T-129 ATAK – Developed in conjunction with Leonardo, the T129 is a derivative of the AW129 Mangusta attack helicopter fitted with Turkish indigenous sensors, avionics and weapons. Some 59 have been ordered by the Turkish Land Forces, of which 24 have been delivered. The company is offering the aircraft to Poland and may be close to a sale in Pakistan where the type would replace older model AH-1 Cobras. TAI and the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex signed an agreement in May for closer cooperation which could see the final assembly of the helicopter take place in Pakistan if ordered. Bahrain has also expressed interest in the helicopter. Several indigenous weapons have been integrated including the Roketsan UMTAS guided missile, and the Cirit lightweight missile. The air-to-air version of the Raytheon Stinger can also be fitted.

Dubai Airshow: Why TAI boss is a man on a mission
Posted 12 November 2017 · Add Comment

Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) president and CEO, Dr Temel Kotil, is a man on a mission at the show. Alan Warnes discovers why.



Dr Temel Kotil, the man who headed Turkish Airlines for 11 years before becoming TAI chief in October 2016, has a masterplan for his organisation.

Not only does he want to increase TAI’s turnover this year, from $1.6 billion towards $3billion, he also wants to grow the company to $10 billion inside 10 years, which means a 25% annual average increase.

That might well explain why TAI has such a big presence at this year’s show.

Kotil’s immediate priority is to commercialise all the main projects that have been designed and developed over the past 10 years. Those include the T129 advanced attack and tactical reconnaissance (ATAK) helicopter, the Hurkus turboprop trainer/close air support aircraft, the Anka unmanned aerial system (UAS), and the six-ton T625 helicopter.

The five-ton T129 ATAK is making its debut at the show. Export sales have been disappointing and Kotil will be aiming to boost the helicopter’s fortunes. There have been serious discussions with Pakistan and Bahrain but nothing has materialised. Now the government-backed company is aiming to show off the T129 to a general Middle East audience.

Domestically, the T129 is big business, with Turkey’s aerospace industry developing an indigenous mission computer, avionics, weapons systems, self-protection suites and helmet-mounting cueing system. The Turkish Army is purchasing 59 T129s, with 24 delivered to date.

While the nine early development helicopters (EDHs) have a 20mm cannon in the nose turret and are armed with unguided rockets, the T129B will be more sophisticated. It has the capability to carry eight UMTAS anti-tank guided missiles, 19 Roketsan CIRIT laser-guided 2.75in missiles, eight Stinger air-to-air missiles, two 12.7mm gun pods and two 294kg auxiliary fuel tanks on its stub wing pylons.

Positioned above the nose cannon is an Aselsan ASELFLIR-300T advanced targeting system turret, which houses a thermal camera, laser range finder/designator, laser spot tracker, colour TV camera, and colour spotter camera with a multiple target tracking capability. They can be monitored by the pilot’s Aselsan helmet integrated cueing system (HICS).

In early October, the Turkish Undersecretariat of Defence Industries (SSM) formally accepted the Meteksan Savunma MİLDAR millimetre wave radar, which has been under development since 2013. Meteksan and TAI began testing the MİLDAR in December 2016. Serial production is expected to begin in 2018 or 2019 on the 20 Phase 2 T129Bs.

TAI is also promoting its Hurkus-C light attack armed reconnaissance aircraft. Unveiled in February and shown publicly for the first time at IDEF 17 in Istanbul during May, TAI is now keen to win export orders.

The Turkish Army has a requirement for 12 plus 12 options, and the gendarmerie six plus six options. Both customers’ helicopters will be configured with the same weapons, the 2.75in CIRIT LGMs and the Laser-UMTAS, ensuring commonality with the T129 ATAK.

Meanwhile, an export deal for Turkey’s first indigenous unmanned aerial system, Anka, seems to be a long way off.

Since development started in 2010 there have been three versions. The Anka-A was used to mature the ground surveillance and maritime surveillance radar systems before the programme was split into two.

The lighter Anka B, with an on-board Aselsan maritime surveillance and ground station radio relay, has attracted interest from the Turkish Navy, using the Aselsan full HD communications, aperture and targeting system (CATS).

Integration work has been completed on the CATS, which will also appear on the Anka S variant, equipped with a foreign SATCOM.

The Turkish Air Force has ordered 10 Anka S, while contracts for 12 Anka Bs are also believed to have been signed, split between the Polis and Turkish Land Forces, which is also interested in the Anka S.

Roketsan Expands Weapons Portfolio
by David Donald
- November 11, 2017, 6:07 AM


Turkish missile house Roketsan (Stand 758) is showing its latest MAM-C Smart Micro Munition this week at the 2017 Dubai Air Show. The unpowered glide weapon was first showcased at the IDEF exhibition in Turkey earlier in the year, and is being displayed at Dubai alongside its larger MAM-L cousin. Both weapons have been developed for use with UAVs and light attack aircraft, for which weight and size are major issues.

Whereas MAM-L has a launch weight of 48.5 pounds/22 kg, the MAM-C is based on a 70-mm diameter body and weighs just 18.7 pounds/8.5 kg with a 5.5-pound/2.5 kg warhead. The new weapon draws on the technology employed in the Cirit laser-guided rocket that is in service with the armed forces of Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, while the larger MAM-L is based on the systems of the L-UMTAS anti-armour missile.

Both munitions have a range of around five miles/eight kilometers and both employ laser guidance. The MAM-L has been cleared for service with the Bayraktar TB2, TAI Anka and Vestel Karayel UAVs. The example of the Karayel-SU at Dubai is being shown on the Vestel display (Stand 680) with both MAM-C and MAM-L weapons.

Cirit itself has been enhanced with the addition of a thermobaric warhead option. The weapon was previously only available with a high-explosive warhead, or a multipurpose unit with anti-personnel, anti-armour and incendiary effects. Roketsan has also added a laser guidance option to its Teber bomb kit family that turns a standard Mk 81 or Mk 82 general-purpose bomb into a precision weapon. The laser option adds a low-cost seeker to the GPS guidance kit that has previously been developed for the Teber.

Another Radio export to Ukraine

Ukraine confirms Aselsan radio buy, will be locally assembled

The Ukrainian military announced on 10 November that it expects to have all combat military units equipped with Aselsan VHF radios between 2018 and 2020.

Chief of the Ukrainian Signal Corps, Major General Volodymyr Rapko made the announcement at a press conference, adding that forces would also be using some Harris systems that had previously been received as US military aid, in addition to Motorola radios.

Trials of the Aselsan systems had met Ukrainian requirements for compatibility, quality, and price, with the systems to be manufactured in Ukraine.

This is Aselsan’s second contract for communication equipment with Ukraine in a short space of time.
