I hope Aselsan DASS is ready in time to be put on these boats. Otherwise we'll see Star Safire 380HD, like on the SUNGUR.
Umtas and Cirit are good for small crafts up to 3-400 tons displacement. Cirit is good for light armoured ; but the Umtas is capable of going through any ship’s hull. But they will not sink a corvette or a 500ton fast attack craft . They may disable a FAC with a lucky shot. But that is all.Congratulations Turkey
Could somebody explain what kind of sea targets these vehicles are designed for? I mean, the UMTAS and CIRIT can't possibly disable corvettes or bigger sized ships, although they could damage damage them.
Linked up with UAV and UUV it will be a decent threat
Can you imagine operational capabilities these SIDAs can provide when they are used on swarm mode? Imagine each swarm team consisting of 8-10 SIDA with 3D radar + Atmaca/MRAShM, EW SIDA, sonar+torpedos SIDA and Air defence SIDA( Sungur and Hisar-A+ or G40 missiles). They can search and track naval, underwater and aerial targets on their own and generate the tactics thanks to AI supported decision taking algorithms helping operators. Imagine Swarm teams communicating among each others and continuously providing information to manned frigates and destroyers. When It is needed, The far manned platforms will be able to fire their missiles to the targets detected by SIDAs. This will be end of any Navy using conventional tactics and ı believe Greeks will be first nation that will face it.
One ADS SIDA, One ASuW SIDA, one ASW SIDA and one EW SIDA is equivalent to one heavy corvette or light frigate like the SIGMA 9813 and 10513, but presenting 4 unmanned targets to the enemy instead of one.
3 of those SIGMA's cost Morocco $1.2 billion in 2008. I'm sure for that amount Turkey can field 30-40 SIDA's in various configurations. A true force multiplier.4 unmanned target having smaller RCS than a SIGMA and having potential to reach the speeds of 50-60kts If It is requested.
I was also hoping to see a telescopic mast to lower visual proflie while approaching to the target, they may implement later.
Possibly they have chosen Roketsan as a solution partner, the project will shape up through time, we can see hidden launchers or launchers with more missile capacity.Same i am rather disappointed it could be something more stealth(lower mast and hidden launchers).
