Turkish Defense Industry by 2030s - catch up with the UK , France and Germany

[Ali_Baba]

Oh no - MME found us !!!! lol !!!

No Fokinas yet - so some quiet around here - for a while at least.

 

[Dalit]

The progress in the Turkish defense industry is unrivalled.
No other industry in Turkiye has done so much in so little time. In the last decade
Turkish businesses and state-owned R&D centers have put amazing effort into their work and received amazing outcomes

Incredible. A few countries have really caught up. Türkiye is definitely in the top 2.

15--TUBITAK BILGEM 4x5kw LASER Weapon


Many countries have developed multi mode LASER
but only the US and Turkey have developed single mode LASER in the world ...
( China is also working on singel mode laser )

multimode laser power is large, but the beam quality is poor

so difficult to single mode fiber lasers to 20kw
the technical community generally agreed that the upper limit of single mode fiber laser is 10kw

and Turkiye has developed 5kw single mode Laser

TÜBİTAK BİLGEM 20 kw LASER Weapon System

16 -- SATELLITES


Turkiye's first high resolution electro-optical satellite GÖKTÜRK-2 has been indigenously designed by Turkish Aerospace Industries and TÜBİTAK Space cooperation

launched on December 18, 2012 and the satellite is still under the operation of Turkish Air Forces from Ankara/Turkey Ground Station

Türkiye's first high-res observation Satellite IMECE​

The launch marks the first time that Türkiye will have an electro-optical Satellite camera with sub-meter resolution in orbit

Turkiye's first indigenously developed telecommunication satellite TURKSAT-6A expected to be launched into space by 2024

TÜRKSAT 6A will bring extended capabilities and additional capacity for high and secure data transfer applications with 20 Ku-Band transponders that can be operated simultaneously

Turkiye became one of the 10 countries that can produce communications satellites

According to President of Defence Industry Agency

Turkiye working on a new Camera for a resolution of 30 cm to be used on GOKTURK-Y Satellite

At 30 cm class resolution, you can distinguish types of vehicles, read road markings and even identify tail numbers on Aircraft
