At first I had the same, WTF why would we equip old ships like Burak class with ADVENT.

But thinking further it makes sense, Burak class would become part of the radar network and get the combined radar picture with all tactical data.

The biggest force of the Turkish navy is slowly shaping: being netcentric. The command center would know any time where all her ships are

According to Wiki these are the specs of Burak class corvette.

TypeCorvette
Displacement1,325 tonnes
Length80.52 m (264 ft 2 in)
Beam10.2 m (33 ft 6 in)
Draft3.42 m (11 ft 3 in)
Propulsion2 × SEMT-Pielstick 12PC2V400 diesels, 12,000 hp (8.95 MW)
Speed23 knots (43 km/h)
Range4,500 nmi (8,300 km) at 15 kn (28 km/h)
Complement7 Officers, 83 P/O and enlisted
Armament4 × Exocet SSM; 1 × 100 mm/55 or 76mm Oto Melara gun; 2 × 20 mm guns; 4 × L5 torpedoes; 1 × 375 mm 6 barrel ASW A/S mortars

Considering how old it is, I am more curious as to why the F*** we're not building more Ada class. I do know the answer to that question. RTE still fears TSK and don't want to fully equip them, but keep them on edge just barely managing their duty against external threats.

Which translates to scared politicians avoiding confrontations because TSK just barely makes by.

We will, the idea is to build quite a number of OPV's until then we need interim OPV's (Burak class)

I think it's pretty good idea to increase such capabilities in smaller platforms to supplement the network further. Upgrades done are pretty modular, so there is not much as burden. Can be taken out easily if wanted, get integrated to new OPVs or so. I am thinking that Advent could be "lite" version.

havelsan says on their web that burak class will have advent,”neler oluyor lan”

Advent is scalable, it will be present in all platforms from TF-2000 to OPV or Patrol boats, even on the CG Ships that may have complex sensors. (except the boats which may not require a CMS)

For the presence on B-Class it was discussed earlier too, only one hull has been upgraded so far and it is morelikely linked to Havelsan-Armerkom using R&D funds on testing, Armerkom gains early-access for training and testing of the decided sensor-weapon suites to be used on Hisar Class OPV, Havelsan gains ready to offer sensor-weapon packages for export.

At least Navy finally reached to a conclusion and they are having a decent OPV. B-Class is old yet still goes well, it would be a blink of an eye to replace those hulls and could have been handled by private shipyards-designs offices with ease. They are now producing more Ada-Class with more streamlined design in place of those.

One nice thing about Burak class is Greece does not have a equivalent ship so they have to deploy patrol boat, or even frigate. You need something cheap to tire their ships.

Isn't it obvious that there is no enough time for perfect navy. There is a dangerous emergency condition.
It is needed to reach an mature level with indigenous software as soon as possible...

They will probably receive advent during their mid life upgrade. So no need to take them out of duty two times!!
Additionally, they may add new systems during mid life upgrade. They are 10 and 8 years old at the moment. They may get upgrade when they are 15 , not a far date from today.

Upgrading from Windows 3.0 to Windows 11?
Or from Windows 10 to Windows 11?

As long as it's not Vista. Arguably some would say XP others Win7 were best. :)

I guess what I'm trying to say is. TN knows that the systems and array of sensors on our vessel will have to be able to communicate and/or relay information in the centric system that TN has.

When we're thinking of the UAV/UCAV our naval vessels will have radar/antenna to relay communication and such.

Does it matter if all our Naval vessels have all sensors and radars ?

It depends on their mission. The smaller corvettes would be better of having a more specific missions. Especially in Adalar Denizi where littoral vessels will have a much easier time patroling/hiding.

And imagine if those small corvettes - FACs can directly or indirectly (through base or larger ships) connect to UAVs, Satellites-USVs to locate the enemy assets.

Not all of them will have CAFRAD but beyond a size i think a 3D search radar or EO-IR detection (360 degrees situational awareness) is necessity.
