Electro-Optic Targeting Systems

Within the scope of CATS Electro-Optical, Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Targeting System flight activities, integration to Bayraktar TB2 platform was completed. In the live bomb drops made using ammunition without a warhead, the target was hit successfully. The system has been transferred to mass production and production activities continue. In addition, development activities have been initiated on the ASELFLIR F500C system, which is a state of the art EO targeting system meeting or exceeding the technical capabilities of all competing systems in the market.

System development studies continue for the ASELFLIR-R400D system which is the EO Reconnaissance and Surveillance system being developed for utility helicopters.

Integrated EO System (IEOS) Tech. Dev. Project Engineering Studies progressing within the scope of the National Fighter Aircraft (TF-X) Development Program continue.

Studies on new systems for the Directed Infrared Countermeasure (DIRCM) and Missile Warning Systems for the EO Countermeasure System family are in progress

Infrared Photon Detectors Used in Electro-Optic Systems

Within the scope of NAR (Infrared Detector Assembly Development) Project, development activities of Midwave Infrared (MWIR) Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) Cooled Infrared Photon Detector were continued. The qualification activities of the Integrated Detector Dewar. Cooler Assembly (IDDCA), which was developed for reconnaissance and surveillance cameras and contains the MCT layers grown by ASELSAN, continued.

Within the scope of the National Fighter Development (TFX) Program, Integrated Electro-Optical System Technology Development Project, both MWIR and LWIR (Longwave Infrared) MCT detector development activities continued in 2020

The activities for the development of Joule Thomson coolers, which are the critical subcomponents of the IDDCAs used in the missile seekers, T2SL (Type 2 Super-lattice) cooled infrared photon detector, and SWIR (Shortwave Infrared) uncooled photon detector continued.

As of the point reached in the indigenous SWIR detector development activities, the configuration of the GÖZ-SWIR camera using the indigenous detector is planned to be released in the first half of 2021

SAFIR-640 Microbolometer Detectors At the ASELSAN Microbolometer production facility, thermal weapon sights, reconnaissance and surveillance systems and prototype detectors used in missile seekers were successfully produced, and the detectors were integrated into the Thermal Weapon Sights by having completed their design verification activities. Preparations for the facility to start mass production have been largely completed, and it is aimed to use indigenous microbolometer detectors in products in 2021.

In the production facility, which was commissioned with the UV Solar Blind Image Intensifier Tube production infrastructure established in ASELSAN, the production of image intensifier tubes used in missile warning systems and fiber optical bonding with sensor chips are being carried out.

KARAOK Infrared Seeker Development Project
The KARAOK Anti-Tank Missile using the delivered Infrared Seeker hit the target with a direct hit in the first test launch of the guided missile.

OMTAS anti-tank missiles, to which the delivered Infrared Seekers were integrated, have entered the inventory of the TAF. Within the scope of the Kubbe Project, OMTAS Infrared Seekers using domestic domes produced at ASELSAN MGEO facilities were produced.

KARTACA
A new generation Countermeasure Launcher System compatible with the world standards and Smart Store Communication Interface (SSCI), was made ready for use.

  • Nusret-1915 mine detection sonar will be completed (along with the test and certification) by the following year (2022), it is expected to be installed on Engine class MCMW vessels and soon to be announced national MCMW vessel project. The sonar is also expected to be used on USVs via a scaling down.

  • Orkun-2053 dipping sonar will be completed nearly on the similar schedule as Nusret-1915 and expected to be installed on ASW helicopters and another variant to be installed on USVs and tested on Q1 2022.

  • Armelsan is working on a signal form called PRN for sonar systems, it will be unique to the turkish sonar systems and enhance their performance on detection.

  • Armelsan, with Aselsan, is going to offer a scalable multi-static sonar systems deployed by a team of USVs enhancing mapping and ASW capabilities, also by switching from pulse-type active sonars to "always-on" type active sonars, the ASW techniques will be enhanced remarkably. Typically, despite of loosing a certain power due to the scaling down of the sonar systems on a USV, a team of USVs will be able to scan an area larger than what a frigate may do, moreover, frigate's powerful sonar can be used as signal emitters and USV sonars located at far distances can be set as a receiver, using dynamic position, multi-static configuration, underwater objects or threats will be "mapped" with a finer resolution and will be detected at longer distances.

  • Melis-2071 is told to be in serial production phase, thus we may safely assume the wet-end of the Aselsan's Fersah is manufactured by Armelsan.

  • Armelsan also aims to develop a sonar-performance analysis software which is bound to export licenses and prone to be sanctioned.

  • The sonar systems will achieve 90% and above national contribution at the serial production phase, however, the expectation for prototype phase is around 60%
Related development. the speech above was given by Armelsan Manager, to the Teknopark journal;
