DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE INDUSTRY ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Wide Area Call
R&D Subject: New Generation Acoustic Transducers and Applications
Purpose:
Depending on the field of application; There is a need to develop different transduction mechanisms and different geometry underwater acoustical transducers and transducer arrays for different frequency, source level, sensitivity, power, size, weight and working depth values. With this R & D, it is aimed to evaluate the talents, competencies and R & D project proposals related to the subject of the firm / institution / organizations and to determine the projects and project models to be started for the subject. In addition, proposals for the development of transducers for use in land / air acoustics applications in the country will also be evaluated.
Extent:
Within the scope of the projects that can be started as a result of evaluation after R&D, it is aimed to realize underwater acoustic transducer designs and production depending on the requirements of application area. Creation of an acoustic transducer array and integration into an underwater acoustical system may also be included.
Technology Issues:
Project proposals to be submitted within the Wide Area Call are expected to include the following technology issues:
• Transducer Design and Manufacturing Technologies (
Piezoelectric Single Crystal Ceramic Transducer Technologies, Piezoelectric Tissue Ceramic Transducer Technologies, Piezoelectric Ceramic-Polymer Composite Transducer Technologies, Fiber Optic Vector Sensor Technologies, etc.)
• Transducer Array Design and Manufacturing Technologies (
Redundant Low Frequency Transducer Array Technologies, Lateral Fiber Optic Sensor Array Technologies, Redundant Fiber Optic Vector Sensor Array Technologies, etc.).
Scope of application:
It is expected that the project proposals to be presented under the Wide Area Call will be directed to underwater / over-water / air platforms, submarine or float-mounted underwater acoustic sensor systems.
• High-precision towed indexed and lateral indexed sonar systems for submarines,
• Low-frequency active sonar system to increase the fixation range for underwater / over-water platforms,
• High sensitivity acoustic sensor systems for port and throat protection,
• Acoustic modems with wide communication band are possible application areas.

Electronic Warfare Command, Control and Coordination System (EHKKKS) Project
Defense Industry Undersecretariat and ASELSAN A.Ş. The Electronic Warfare Command, Control and Coordination System Agreement was signed on 29 March 2017 for the K.K.K. (land forces).
With the completion of the project, a roof system will be developed to provide more efficient use of different Electronic Warfare systems in the inventory of Land Forces Command and in inventory. Thus, it will be possible to evaluate the obtained information of the Electronic Warfare command elements faster and more accurately, and to transmit the obtained Electronic Warfare information to the affiliated units and top commanders in a timely manner.
EHKKKS System is a system that will be fully developed with national possibilities and will perform a complementary function for Electronic Warfare systems which have been developed with national possibilities in our country for many years.
Deliveries under the contract will be made until 2020.

V / UHF Electronic Support (ED) System Project
Defense Industry Undersecretariat and ASELSAN A.Ş. "V / UHF Electronic Support (ED) System Agreement" was signed on March 29, 2017 for the purpose of K.K.K. (land forces).
V / UHF Electronic Support (ED) Systems will have the ability to detect and monitor threatening communication signals. The design, development and production of these systems will be carried out entirely by national means. The establishment of the Training Training Center for the System and related trainings will also be provided to the K.K.
Deliveries under the contract will be made between 2020-2022.
