If we want to export an UCAV with a lower capacity to any country, we can sell it with CATS instead of AF500 I think.

I think CATS will be discontinued in the medium term. Aselsan will just sell Aselflir 500 with 640x480 MWIR and SWIR sensors, a 1920x1080 full HD day camera, and a shorter-range laser designator.

Strategic collaborations from TÜBİTAK BİLGEM

TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, which brings critical capabilities to Turkey's defense, this year. At the 16th IDEF'23 Fair, it signed cooperation on defense issues. During the ceremonies, TÜBİTAK BİLGEM signed strategic cooperation protocols with the Ministry of National Defense Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Defense Department, HAVELSAN and Saudi Arabia's defense organization INTRA.

With the "Cooperation Protocol for CBRN Defense" signed between the Ministry of National Defense CBRN Department and TÜBİTAK BİLGEM, studies will be carried out in which military/civilian systems will be developed and produced for the CBRN defense of the gains to be obtained from these studies.

The protocol also plays a major role in Turkey's development of national defense products with its own means and reduces its dependence on foreign sources, while supporting domestic technologies for the defense industry.

TÜBİTAK BİLGEM's laser technology and capabilities are internationally

TÜBİTAK BİLGEM also cooperated internationally within the scope of IDEF 2023. A cooperation agreement on trainings on electronic warfare technologies and a goodwill agreement on joint R&D studies on laser technologies were signed between INTRA Defense Technologies, one of the important defense companies of Saudi Arabia, and TÜBİTAK BİLGEM. TÜBİTAK BİLGEM also signed the “Electronic Warfare Laboratories and Training Product and Service Supply Agreement” to work together with HAVELSAN in Qatar.

In addition to these, TÜBİTAK President Prof. Dr. Hasan Mandal attended the protocol ceremonies held with TAI, ASELSAN, ROKETSAN, MKE and KOÇ Defense within the scope of the 16th International Defense Industry Fair IDEF held in Istanbul.

TÜBİTAK BİLGEM’den stratejik iş birlikleri

TÜBİTAK BİLGEM MSB, KBRN Savunma Dairesi Başkanlığı, HAVELSAN ve Suudi Arabistan merkezli INTRA ile stratejik iş birliği protokolleri imzaladı.

I was just about to post the news about Aselsan signing an EO deal with Roketsan for 11.9 million and was gonna say hopefully it's for KMC.

This is great news. Now that we have local EO, number of KMCs in service will greatly increase. It was less than 10.

According to the news published by ASELSAN in its monthly bulletin, the AESA radar project FULMAR was signed for maritime patrol aircraft. The radar is expected to have a range of 200 nautical miles (370 km).

With the national avionic systems it has developed, ASELSAN will modernize the AS-532 Cougar (20 units) helicopters in the inventory of the Air Force Command.

Finally we will have something like Seaspray AESA.

I wish we had more info about what it entails. HvKK indeed have 20 Cougars, 6 of them are tasked with CSAR. Will those more specialized ones get a more special package? What about the 20+ something Cougars in use with KKK?

Re HvKK Cougars, I believe all 20 have nose mounted FLIR and ground following radars, while CSAR versions also have a door mounted winch and also detachable 20mm gun pods exist. Some models also have IR lowering exhaust modifications. Anyone with more info on this particular fleet's differences?
