Overview
The Tuzla-class New Type Patrol Boat (Turkish: Yeni Tip Karakol Botu) is one of the patrol boat classes of the Turkish Navy. The Tuzla class, named after a district in Istanbul with the same name, have been designed by Dearsan Shipyards in order to meet the operational requirements of the Turkish Navy in littoral waters.These patrol boats conduct patrol, security and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) duties in or around harbors & coastal areas.
at MLU, NTPBs are expected to be equipped with;
-USV capable of ASW duties,
-MAR-D naval search radar of Aselsan,
-Orka LWT
-Naval-upgraded version of Sungur MANPADS.
Roketsan ASW Rockets are also expected to be improved prior to the MLU, increasing effective range from 2000 meters to 5000 meters and equipping with a guidance to allow rocket to passively guide itself towards a source, illuminated by ships own sonar.
