100 km range air defense missile for Turkish warships​

News Center16 October 2023
1 minute reading time

TRENCH



Turkish warships will be equipped with air defense missiles with a range of 100 kilometers. Work on integration started within Roketsan.

TCG İSTANBUL (F-515), the first ship of the MİLGEM İSTİF Class Frigate Project, is planned to enter service this year. After the embargo on the air defense missile and vertical launch system, Roketsan started working to develop both systems.

In this context; The National Vertical Launch Launcher System (MIDLAS), developed by Roketsan, was integrated into the ISTANBUL Frigate after the launch from land. HİSAR-O RF Medium Altitude Air Defense Missile was adapted to sea conditions and launched with MİDLAS .

It is expected that MİDLAS and HİSAR-D RF launches will be carried out via TCG İSTANBUL in a short time. On the other hand, after the HİSAR-D RF, which is estimated to have a range of approximately 35-40 kilometers, the SİPER Product-1 Missile will be transformed into a MİDLAS compatible structure and will be offered to Turkish warships. With a range of 100+ kilometers , SİPER Product-1 will be the longest-range air defense missile of the Turkish Navy.
MIDLAS


According to information obtained by SavunmaSanayiST.com; Within the scope of integration studies, some hardware and software works will be carried out to make SİPER Product-1 suitable for sea conditions. On the other hand, the land-launched version of the SİPER Product-1 Missile is planned to enter the Turkish Armed Forces inventory in 2023-24.

SİPER Product-1 is the first long-range air defense missile developed by Turkey with national resources. SIPER Product-2, the first shot of which was fired recently, has a range of 150 kilometers. SİPER Product-2 is expected to enter the inventory in the 2024-25 band.
In the final stage, it is planned to adapt existing air defense missiles to the Quad-Pack structure and to develop new air defense missile system solutions for naval platforms. Thanks to its Quad-Pack capability, a 16-cell MIDLAS will be able to accommodate up to 64 air defense missiles.





@Anmdt I have a question, do HISAR/SIPER actually require AKR-D's illumination as they have their own active seeker? Or do AKREP provides data link for mid course update? I mean, what role does it perform when firing active seeker missiles?

It is best to refer Ibrahim Sunnetci's article which was posted on 14th, 2 days ago on this matter. Translation works better on his articles. And he provided more indepth information on projects.


For your question;
Akrep provides target tracking or continuous wave illumination when necessary. The missile (Siper, Hisar-D, Hisar-D B2) has two way data link, GPS/INS midcourse guidance. It may utilize CWI in midcourse/terminal stage or use GPS/INS - two way data link for midcourse and engage with active RF seeker in the terminal stage.

VATOZ MARINE MISSION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE​

VATOZ® Software Product Line is a software product line developed indigenously by ASELSAN that can perform the necessary mission management, command control and battle management functions on all kinds of surface, underwater and fixed platforms. It was developed to meet the command and control needs of Navy base defense operations centers and warships.

VATOZ software product line development studies started in 2008. The first product from the product line meets the command and control needs of the Tuzla Class Patrol Ship, which was delivered to the Naval Forces Command in 2010. VATOZ was registered as a trademark by the Turkish Patent Institute in 2010. In Turkey's first warship export in 2011, a product from the VATOZ software product line was used to meet the command and control needs. The platforms used on VATOZ are:

• 2 Naval Forces Command Naval Bases (YUNUS Project / Aksaz - Foça Underwater and Surface Detection and Surveillance System)

• 16 pieces of 57 m Tuzla Class Patrol Ships

• 10 57 m Patrol Ships (Turkey's first Warship export)

• 6 pieces of 33 m High Speed Patrol Boats (Export)

So, a competitor to ADVENT?

SİPER Block 1 uses a modified HİSAR-RF with GPS assisted midcourse guidance.

I think we will either see the main missile being compiled for warships or HİSAR-D Block 1 being put on the booster.

Conceptual studies are underway for a nuclear propulsion submarine. According to early conceptual studies, a civilian based SMR will power the sub. Turkiye wants to acquire/develop SMR tech for civilian and military purposes.

Two thoughts. Is this why the talks with RR has been non ending for all this time?

Is it smart to make this public and potentially get a torrent of bad pr for RR which may or may not force them a rethink?
