Turkish Mini Submarine Development
DATUM Inc. specializes in the design and manufacture of mini submarines and marine test systems. Operating from Istanbul with its headquarters in ITU, our experienced team of naval architects, mechanical engineers, control and electric engineers possesses skills in shipbuilding, submarines, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, composites and software design.
DATUM’s roots date back to 2004, when a bunch of junior engineering students from different faculties at Istanbul Technical University came together to found ITU Solar Boat Team. The team built 3 solar boats between 2007 and 2012 and went on to win many international awards including a world championship trophy.
DATUM Inc. was founded by the members of ITU Solar Boat Team in 2013 with the goal of designing and building mini submarines and marine test systems.
Since its foundation in 2013, DATUM has designed and completed the design, manufacture and implementation of various marine test systems and equipment including planar motion mechanisms, free running maneuvering systems and submarine model test systems.
DATUM signed a strategic partnership with Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ)'s İTÜNOVA (Tech Transfer Office).

F..k i can't help waiting for it. Just revealed it. It seems semisubmergible. Very low water draft. İt would be very hard to dedected. Unmanned patrol boat? Laser guided cirit could engage any helis.

In 2017, Prototype of Italian Cos. Mo.S CE4F swimmer delivery vehicle was donated to the Yıldız Technical University by Turkish Navy for research
The CE4F was the last and most secret Swimmer Delivery Vehicle (SDV) built by the famed manufacturer Cos.Mo.S based in Livorno, Italy. Within naval circles Cos.Mo.S were well known for their CE2F two-man chariots which were widely exported from the 1960s until ~2000. Sales brochures and photographs of the CE2F were widely distributed and many books discussed them as the classic Cold War western SDV alongside the SEALs’ SDV Mk8. The follow-on CE4F however was barely reported: the original customer, and only known operator, was the Turkish SAT (Su Altı Taarruz) Special Forces. It is only in Jan 2017 that the existence of the SAT version has been made public when an example was given to Yildiz Technical University.
The CE4F was designed for the Turkish Navy's elite Special Forces SAT (Su Altı Taarruz) which is generally equivalent to the US Navy SEALs and has a history of using Cos.Mo.S submersibles. The new craft had to be non-magnetic with a relatively up to date electronics fit including internal navigation, obstacle avoidance sonar, autopilot and folding optronics mast.
The prototype did not meet performance and handing requirements. Modifications were made to the control surfaces, adding flow conveyors to the rear hydroplanes and additional vertical fin area.
Additionally, the deal came at a difficult time for the company. It was under the leadership of international arms dealer Carlos Cardoen who had replaced the Italian founder Ing Pucciarini. Cardeon was willing to supply arms to sanctioned countries including Iraq under Saddam Hussein, and even tried to sell the entire Cos.Mo.S company to him.
Eventually in the early 2000's the Italian Government stopped the Iraqi deal and, combined with other sour deals, the company defaulted. Cardoen was subject to an international arrest warrant but evaded capture.
The prototype CE4F was relegated to storage and is now, fifteen years later, on display at the university. Subsequent development is unclear.

Although we started these studies very early, it took a long time to conceptualize and then doctrinize USV things. I hope it will be worth the wait.
Lets imagine this with a modular payload capability. When needed it will equip with electro-optical / IR sensors, side scan sonar or synthetic aperture sonar, forward looking sonar or multibeam echo sounder, diver detection sonar and dipping sonar. Again, depending on the mission profile, a wide variety of weapon systems can be integrated. Medium-range anti-ship missile system, Orka anti-submarine system, or TEMREN / LUMTAS / CIRIT and Stamp/Stop integrations...
A wide range capability chain from coastal waters and port security to swarm USVs that will act as wolfpacks of main frigates. Together with KEMENT, all this structure will work as a subsystem of the main system. In other words, naval forces construct the system of systems together with manned and unmanned systems in air and sea.
At this point, I would like to remind you again some concept images of the TF-2000. The TF-2000 concept will have a flexible payload capability, similar to the BAE's Type-31 concept. Therefore, it should be considered that all these sub-study areas are related to each other.

- Some of the "abilities" and "facilities" they have shown belong to the Ata Nutku Towing Tank, not to the DATUM AŞ
-- Model building is and other shown facilities are Ata Nutku Towing Tank, again not affiliated to DATUM but used by them.
- ISATAR is not, whatsoever, related to the DATUM AŞ, those images with DATUM logo is causing some legal issues to thecompany in near future.
- PMM and Open water Maneuvering system belongs to the KATMANSIS project, might have been supplied by DATUM AŞ, again not affiliated but contracted to them.
The company was -and still is- promising, however they were ultimately aggressive and ignored some basic collaborations and assured themselves that they can "resolve" any R&D requirement on their own, and ended up in a strange position.

So sad to hear this part. Collaboration would ensure quicker solutions and delivery.
But these things are what we talked about.
Will my sensor array buoy network become reality as well ?
A
This should be on the list of military projects as well. Perhaps it is but it would of course be secret. Oil and gas exploration could be a good cover to look for suitable places to put these sensors.
T
The covered ship, İt might be unmanned surface vessel like elbit's?
Cannard up of the launchers looks like submarine dive cannards . Does it would be underwaters vehicle or something ?

Yalman platform ?
ROKETSAN’s UMTAS and Cirit missiles integrated to FNSS KAPLAN-10: YALMAN
A launcher developed by ROKETSAN, with UMTAS and Cirit missiles, was integrated to KAPLAN-10 tracked armoured platform that developed by
en.defenceturk.net
I think it was tested on one or our Corvettes.

The day many people have been waiting for has come. The press launch of the Armed-Unmanned Surface Vessel was realized in cooperation with the Ares shipyard and Meteksan companies.
According to some shared information, the USV will carry the CİRİT and UMTAS / L-UMTAS missiles.

It has no machine gun 
. Nevertheless a nice design.
