turkish defense industry to welcome centenary of republic of turkey in 2023
the 15th international defense industry fair idef 2021 opened its doors for the
second day on wednesday with a wide variety of products from turkish companies on display
including those set to enter inventories soon
tamel kotil general manager of turkish aerospace industries whose products are at the forefront
at the fair said the firms her jet advanced jet trainer and light attack aircraft would
make their first flight on march 18 2023 he added that the hull of the tfx fighter jet
also known as the national combat aircraft that tai is developing as
another of its projects has been specially designed for stealth
kotil also said that the jets parts would be produced by several companies
including defense giant asselsin in the scientific and technological research council of turkey
under tai's coordination he highlighted that the jet would be a fifth generation
combat aircraft in the same category as the usf-35 and f-22 or the russian suhoy 35.
we want to produce the world's best aircraft and we will he added
kotil also said the first full-size model of this aircraft would be showcased in the paris air show
this year in 2023 her jet and helicopter gunship ata k2 will take flight and the tfx will also be
rolled out he added he also commented that their goat bee helicopter has a high quality
transmission system thanks to the prowess of turkish engineers working on the project
meanwhile as turkey's largest aviation company thai aims to become one of the world's
top 10 firms in the industry by 2028 its ceo highlighted during his interview with reporters
with the several ongoing helicopter projects like herjet or ata k2
thai aims to be among the world's top six firms in this sector as well
said kotil adding that it would also work to become a global brand in the field of composites
boosting its current capabilities to process various materials such as titanium and aluminium
he underlined that companies like tai are technological and engineering heavens in turkey
adding that the firm's products and projects were exportable in
that every product is manufactured to be sold to turkey and friendly countries
turkish defense industry companies meanwhile which have produced many unique products in
recent years have most recently put submarine development on their agenda
within the scope of those efforts the national submarine milden project is being carried out
to provide the turkish naval forces command with submarines produced within the country
turkey already achieved a milestone in submarine development in 2019 when the periods the first
submarine developed under the new type submarine project hit the water as part of the next phase
of production in a speech to mark the occasion president recep tayyip erdogan said at the time
a total of six new submarines one each year would join the turkish naval forces between
2022 and 2027 the gains achieved thus far in terms of maximizing domestic industry participation will
be a strong reference for domestic and national submarines intended to be built under the milden
in addition several companies including prominent software and hardware company
havelson are working on several technologies systems and concepts to be used in submarines
havelson which is also presenting its latest products at idef 2021
introduced the submarine combat operations center concept design it developed in this context for
the first time during the fair the management of a submarine is made from the war operations center
dubbed the brain of the submarine command and control systems combat management systems and
the subsystems and devices that support them are all located within the combat operations center
the submarine combat operations center concept was designed to meet all kinds of war management
machinery and internal management needs of the submarine with personnel as the main focus
submarines can perform long-term missions and meet the operational and personnel needs
in a 3d environment as they have great similarities with spaceships or stations
considering that the design of a submarine lasts an average of 40 to 50 years from design to its
decommissioning it is expected that any design decision should meet the personnel operational
and logistical needs for the next 50 years for this reason while deciding on the technology and
design to be used a forward thinking vision is needed without moving away from realism
the submarines of the future are expected to include many technological features such as
human computer interaction methods along with artificial intelligence
ai machine learning deep learning big data decision support internet
of things autonomous systems robotic systems augmented and visual reality
gesture control or voice activation havelson has adopted a vision of designing the future
with a realistic forward looking while working on the submarine combat operation center concept
large screens offer wide viewing angles and are visible to the maximum number of personnel
suitable screen selections can be made to access the required data and information most efficiently
the design aims to optimize the layout and use the area with maximum efficiency
a must for crafts like submarines havelson has also undertaken the
submarine information distribution system dubbed the heart of the new type submarine
which started in 2011 and used real-time embedded software technology for the system
