CABATLI, did we bought multicam from US?

And second, i heard that we were developing a brand new GENESIS system for the upcoming TF-2000?

I didn't heart/read anything regarding multi-cam but Genesis system to be integrated on TF-2000 will be the advanced variant of current GenesisAdvent which has ability of operating APAR radar with advanced fusion/processors commanding advanced Medium altitude SAM system on multiple threats as well.

So @Neptune how long will it take for you to rise up to the rank of an Admiral in the Turkish Navy ?

Well bro, do you mean the "Admiral (OF-9)" or the "Admiral of the Fleet(OF-10)". I'd go with the AoF. To get the 4 star rank: first of all it requires 12 years of naval training before getting commissoned when the JROTC is concluded too. After that more than 30 years at service. Not to mention the approval that you need by Force Commanders of all branches. But what I'm really after is the Admiral of the fleet which's equal to marshall. In Turkey, it requires not only being a 4-star Admiral. But also you should have commanded at least 3 battles, and all of them should be successfully won. Meanwhile, a life dedicated to waves.
During the 932 years old TNF, there's been only one sailor that could achieve this rank, The Great Admiral Barborossa Hayrettin (Kaptan-i Derya)

As told you fellas before, i don't give a crap if we enter to a war. There's only one thing for sure. I love the sea!!! lol

MİLGEM CONTRACT WITH RMK MARINE (KOC GROUP) IS ABOUT TO BE CANCELLED

It is claimed that the contract with RMK Marine for MILGEM is going to be cancelled. Some companies who could not participate in the tender had filled complaints to the Prime Ministry Office in February. Prime Ministry Inspection Board has completed the inspection on the tender. The board reported that only two companies participated in the tender so this participation is found inappropriate.

I really wonder if this is true. If true, then how this will affect the MILGEM project. We will see...

Landing Platform Dock (LPD) Project

 

[Seyfullah]

Turkey’s biggest defense company, Aselsan, has won a contract to develop what defense analysts view as an ambitious venture for the design, development and production of a strategic radar.

The contract for the multi-mission phased array radar, known by its Turkish acronym CAFRAD Faz-1, was signed in early August between Aselsan and the country’s defense procurement agency, the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM).

The CAFRAD radar will be similar to the ALPHA multi-mission M-2258 advanced lightweight phased array naval radar developed by Israel’s IAI and Elta for blue water and littoral warfare support. The radar was selected by the Israeli Navy for the upgrade of existing vessels, as well as for its new combatants.

Radar test for Turkey

Analysts said Aselsan’s venture was the first time that Turkey’s local capabilities in radar technologies were being tested. “No doubt, this is a challenge for Aselsan,” said one London-based Turkey specialist. “If the Turks succeed in this program, they will certainly have passed a critical threshold in radar technology.”

A senior Aselsan official was “realistically optimistic” about success. “We are perfectly aware of the technological challenges our engineers will be facing. And we are definitely confident that Aselsan has the capabilities to develop this radar in line with the specified timetable.”

In a written statement, Aselsan said deliveries under the program would be completed between 2014 and 2018. The company will cooperate with the state scientific research institute, TÜBİTAK, for CAFRAD.

Under the plan, a first phase will contain the development of an illumination radar and a non-rotating identification friend-or-foe (IFF) system. The second phase will involve the development of long-range surveillance and multifunctional radars.

The Aselsan official said the CAFRAD demonstrator will define the primary antenna mast architecture for the TF-2000, an air defense frigate Turkey has been developing, and for the vessel’s combat management and area air defense missile systems. He said the work would focus on more sophisticated tests and development after 2014.

Earlier this year, Aselsan announced that it had successfully developed the country’s first indigenous identification friend-or-foe (IFF) system, and delivered the first prototypes to the Turkish military. Aselsan signed a contract with Turkey’s Defense Ministry in December 2006 to design, develop and manufacture the prototypes.

The prototypes developed by Aselsan passed a final round of performance tests in November. They will be installed on Turkey’s F-4 fighter jets and air defense radars and, at later stages, other aerial and naval platforms – except F-16 fighter jets. The IFF enables military and national interrogation systems to identify aircraft, vehicles or forces as friendly and to determine their bearing and range from the interrogator. IFF may be used by both military and civilian aircraft. The major military benefits of IFF include preventing “friendly fire.”

In 2011, Aselsan inked an approximately $1 billion contract to sell low- and medium-altitude air defense systems to the Turkish military. This is the largest single contract awarded to a local company in recent years. Under that contract, Aselsan is developing all radar, fire control, command-and-control and communications systems for both low- and medium-altitude components of the program. Aselsan also will develop and produce missile heads and data links.

Aselsan’s market value was worth $1 billion in 2011, according to independent auditors. It has a backlog of orders worth $4.3 billion until 2018. Aselsan reported Aug. 11 that its 2012 net profit went up by 82 percent to $148 million. Its 2012 net sales, meanwhile, totaled $860 million, and its exports $152 million.

Turkey to spend $600 mln on assault boats

Hürriyet Daily News

Turkey is planing to spend $600 million to buy 10 new assault boats and had initiated a contest for the program, defense sector sources have said

Turkey is expected to spend more than half a billion dollars on a batch of new assault boats, defense sources have said. Turkey’s defense procurement authorities recently launched a new competition for the acquisition of 10 new assault boats, a program dubbed the “Turkish-type assault boat.” Officials and defense industry sources agree that the proposed program would cost Turkey nearly $600 million.

Defense procurement officials said an official request for information for the contract was issued at the end of July. “This will be a major contest for mostly local shipyards but there will be a foreign contest too,” one official said. “The design and manufacturing will be local, hence the tag ‘Turkish-type assault boat.’”

Industry sources expect competition among local shipyards RMK Marine, Yonca-Onuk, Dearsan and Istanbul Shipyards. The program will be managed by STM, a government-owned defense industry engineering and consultation company. STM, under authorization from the procurement agency, the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM) had carried out feasibility studies for the assault boat program between 2008 and 2010.

Under the plan, local shipyards will compete for the design and manufacturing work. State-owned defense companies Aselsan and Havelsan will compete for the warfare system and state-owned missile maker Roketsan will produce the weapons systems.

Foreign companies will be asked to bid for main propulsion and steering systems. The deadline to reply to the request for information is Sept. 13, 2013.


Tender for local warship to be remade
ANKARA / ISTANBUL

A tender for Turkey’s national warship program (MİLGEM) will reportedly be rearranged following a report by the prime ministry’s inspection office stating that the original tender’s result was not in the public interest, local daily Star reported yesterday. Seven companies, including Koç Holding’s RMK Marine, the winner of the first tender, have been called upon to offer their prices.

However, officials from the Undersecretaries for the Defense Industry declined to comment to the Daily News on the issue.

The Defense Industry Executive Committee particularly called upon two companies, RMK Marine and Dearsan, to take part in the tender, after finding that they had already applied for another prominent shipyard in Istanbul at the beginning of the year. RMK Marine was selected in January by the committee to build six follow-on Milgem-class corvettes.

Construction of the first Milgem project ship, the Heybeliada, was completed in 2008, while the second ship, the Büyükada, is still under way.
