Volkan is the first developed FCS. Land FCS and naval FCS differ because of how things move on the sea. Volkan is a direct predecessor of Altay FCS while TAKS is a cousin.“Altay tank has a version of this TAKS as well.”
TAKS means Top Atış Kontrol Sistemi/Tank Atış Kontrol Sistemi
(In English, Gun or Tank Fire Control System)
What is wrong with that first statement?
A version of TAKS was started to be developed by Aselsan for 76mm naval gun in 2006 after Volkan 1 was successfully qualified for Leopard1 in 2006. Also a much improved version of this TAKS was introduced in 2022 for the 127mm naval gun.
TAKS was first started in 2002 for Leopard1; then qualified on tanks in 2006 (and the last tank was delivered in 2010). Then it was improved as Volkan 2 for Altay and Leopard 2 tanks when it was supposed to be qualified in to tanks in 2022. Also in 2022 a version of this FCS called VolkanM was introduced specifically developed for the M60TM tanks.
Just by reading that first sentence , in your head, you have decided it is “wrong” with no real substance. Interesting!!
