Turkish FAC-FIC Designs

[triangle]

I really want Aselsan to come up with their own SMART-S Mk2 equivalent. Perhaps even a navilized MAR radar or a KALKAN radar would be good enough for these small boats.

Looks so good. Are the brits making their own propulsion systems ?

RR has gas turbines, and guess they have waterjets too.
But the cooperation was mainly for hull (which is patented by RR) form and design of the ship.
KAMEWA, the widely used waterjet manufacturer is owned by RR. (or at least it was)

Love the design of the boat, with what looks like forward egress. But, I'd like to see SSM commission a weapon station just for these types of naval vessels.

Like, what's stopping them from slapping something like this on top with the surface search radar on top ?

Have had same idea. Equiped with Cirit missile with thermobaric warhead.

Something smaller please

Stamp with cirit or porsav

Says 35mm CIWS, looks to have either Manpads, maybe Cirit integrated to it.

Noo dude, 57mm or nothing!

Sure? I mean hitting a fast moving target (boat) if you also drive fast, is damn difficult. Not to mention hitting some targets (bunkers/cave/vehicles) on islands, only with gunfire could maybe not enough.

Looking forward to single barrel 40mm - 35mm Gökdeniz just like Korhan's turret btw
Asymmetric threats are increasing and ATOM is a must for small surface threats.
And for the missiles, i think there is a need for UMTAS-ER, or Cirit-ER with large capacity launchers (above 12 per launcher) for the applications similar to the LIG -NEXT1 , will be a deadly combo with Alpagu Block-III(N) (totally made it up) canister launched mini UAS to do laser targeting.
In Contrary to land forces who prefers 2 missiles, TN likes more canisters in a single launcher. (unless it is re-loadable by personnel)

40 mm with ATOM ?

Cirit ? And this vessel would be up against smaller vessels. Wouldnt a hail of bullets with somewhat gyrated platform not be more useful ?

ANMDT said it

Could be nice for antisymmetric threats, eventhough we are not facing those at the moment , we might put these on USVs for different purposes.

I said additional to a gun.

 

[Huelague]

For an example, you drive with 40-50 knots and try to hit a boat with a speed up to 30-40 knots. With a gun, not an easy job. Plus, the bigger the gun, the slower the reaction time.

This new 120mm laser guided missile will suit it.

Depends on the size of the boat, environmental conditions, E/O. Given the proper conditions you can easily engage a threat at those speeds.

 

[Anmdt]

FAC 55 will have 2 different maximum speed regime for different sea states and 2 optimum speed regimes at different sea states for maximum range.
Numbers will be disclosed.
