Gonul: Two Turkish firms set to sign deal with UAE's defense contractors
February 22 2009, 7:21 PM
Turkish Defense Minister Vecdi Gonul attended the opening ceremony of the fair in Abu Dhabi and near 40 Turkish defense companies are participating in the international event.
Speaking to reporters Gonul said two Turkish companies were set to sign a deal with two of UAE's major defense contractors for the joint production of assault boats and rockets.
Gonul said he met earlier with Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed, who is also chief of staff of the UAE Armed Forces, adding that Turkish and UAE armed forces are expected to sign cooperation agreements in defense industry and military training.
Thirty-eight Turkish companies are participating in Middle East's biggest defense fair.
Roketsan (Hall 10, Stand A13) is expanding its product range to include precision missiles and is showing at IDEX its latest Long Range Anti-Tank (LRAT) missile, named UMTAS in Turkey, and the 2.75in Laser Guided Missile (LGM).
LRAT is being developed to meet the requirements of the Turkish Land Forces Command to arm the future T-129 attack helicopter, of which 50 are expected to be built.
It has a range of between 0.5km out to 8km and is fitted with a tandem high explosive anti-tank warhead to neutralise targets fitted with explosive reactive armour. Other types of warhead are said to be under consideration.
LRAT has a launch weight of 35kg and is fitted with an imaging infrared seeker that features lock-on-before launch and lock-on-after launch capability. Each helicopter will carry two pods each of four LRAT on their stub wings, or a mix of weapons.
Roketsan was awarded an initial YTL50m (US$37m) 26-month study contract, which was followed by a fullscale development contract expected to be completed by mid-2011. The 2.75in LGM will also be carried on pods by the T-129 attack helicopter and Roketsan is responsible for integrating the weapon onto this helicopter. According to the company, the design and development stage was completed last year, as were flight tests and qualification. Production is scheduled to start by the end of this year.
The LGM is seen as a low-cost alternative to more expensive missiles such as LRAT, and is ideal for neutralising soft skin and lighter armoured vehicles.
Turkish company launches mine-protected vehicle at IDEX 2009
Turkish leading armored vehicle producer Otokar presented for the first time its new mine-protected armored vehicle "KAYA" at a defense exhibition here Monday.
KAYA is the latest product of Otokar's design and development studies due to the growing worldwide demand for mine-resistant vehicles. The vehicle combines superior landmine and ballistic protection with high levels of cross-country capability.
The Turkish company launched the newly-designed armored vehicle at the International Defense Exhibition (IDEX) 2009, the largest arms fair in the Middle East region with 897 companies from 50 countries attending.
Serdar Gorguc, general manager of Otokar, said that during KAYA's design phase, mine blasts under the vehicles hull and wheels were simulated using special software, and these blast tests were carried out successfully as per NATO standards.
Besides, he said the armored vehicle uses a Daimler Chrysler Unimog 5000 running chassis to provide excellent cross-country capabilities that have been tested on different terrain conditions.
Gorguc noted that KAYA is now ready for production and will soon be an affordable and capable solution for the force protection in conflict zones.
In addition to KAYA, Otokar also displayed its "COBRA" armored vehicle and its "Otokar APC" armored personnel carrier at IDEX 2009.
Turkey is eager to show his defense capabilities in the arms fair, as its national pavilion at the exhibition is one of the largest ones with 2,214 square meters, holding 39 companies.

More than 900 companies are taking part in the Middle East's biggest arms show that showcases over five days the latest technologies in weapons and defence systems from around the world.

Roketsan, a Turkish defence company, chose Al Jaber Group, an Abu Dhabi-based construction firm and diversified holding company, to design and develop a $90 million weapon system for an unspecified Middle Eastern country. The companies declined to offer more details about the deal.

Roketsan signs deal to develop weapon system
Abu Dhabi: Turkey's Roketsan said on Monday that along with its Abu Dhabi-based partner Al Jaber Company, it had reached an agreement for a contract worth about $90 million (Dh330.3 million) to develop a weapons system for an undisclosed country in the Middle East.
The announcement was made at the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (Idex-2009), currently underway in Abu Dhabi.
"The weapons system will be developed here in Abu Dhabi and in Turkey," Dr Hudai Ozdamar, Marketing and Public Relations Manager for Roketsan, told Gulf News.
"Since the client doesn't want its identity disclosed, we are keeping it under wraps."
He said the weapons system will be delivered in 2010.
Roketsan also exports its products to the US and the UAE.
It has a contract with the UAE to deliver various rocket systems. The contract was signed in 2003.
The company has delivered rocket launchers to the UAE, said Ozdamar.
The Ankara-based Roketsan makes rockets that have a range of up to 40 kilometres.

Aselsan (Hall 10, Stand B14) is promoting its Stabilised Machine Gun Platform (STAMP) at IDEX for a wide range of applications including mounted on armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs), surface craft, and for the defence of high-value static positions, writes Christopher F Foss.
STAMP is typically armed with a stabilised 7.62mm or .50 (12.7mm) machine gun (MG), or even a 40mm automatic grenade launcher. The stabilisation system allows STAMP to engage stationary and moving targets while the platform is also moving.
Following development and trials, production of the STAMP for naval applications commenced in 2007 to meet a local operational requirement. These are armed with a .50 (12.7mm) M3 MG and installed on 33m surface craft.
STAMP can engage targets under almost all weather conditions as it is fitted with a pedestalintegrated thermal camera and TV camera on the right side.
The gunner is provided with a flat panel display, two control handles and associated controls, and aims and fires the weapon under complete protection.
Development of the AFV version of STAMP is also complete and first production systems will be delivered later this year to FNSS in Turkey.
"Turkey's Yonca-Onuk partnership signed a agreement worth $127.77 million with the Critical National Infrastructure Authority to sell 34 rapid intervention boats."
WOOOW, $127.77 is awesome. Yonca-Onuk is doing well!

Selling 3D pictures has become a lucrative business for the Turkish defence industry.
"The weapons system will be developed here in Abu Dhabi and in Turkey," Dr Hudai Ozdamar, Marketing and Public Relations Manager for Roketsan, told Gulf News.
"Since the client doesn't want its identity disclosed, we are keeping it under wraps."

What kind of development is that, new Rockets or further development. I think 2010 is little bit short time for a new Development.

How many times did you able to crash your enemies in battlefields ?
If you're right, no one remembers. If you're wrong, no one forgets.
Why do people talk about an Islamic bomb?... This is a Pakistani bomb. In the case of India, you don't talk of a
vegetarian bomb."

How many times did you able to crash your enemies in battlefields ?

who said im tough or badass? im just a patriot and i want to believe that im not a coward i have no reason to join PKK because im not a Kurd i would fight only for my country as it is my obligation and duty, as far as my hatred against Turks is concerned what can i say ? you fully deserve it
apart from that in 1922 it was Kurds under your command who commited massacres against the Greek populations, as far as im concerned they have little or no differences from a Turk we like them as long as they fight Turkey but i do not consider them as friends or palls.
they participated also in the pogroms against Greeks in Instambul under different circumstances i would consider them as enemies too, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend

to help the Serbs to massacre Albanians because thats what they had been doing yes they did it but they were only a few and they made a mistake
we should take care of our own business, we dont have any reason to interfere in the affairs of other countries, what the Serbs did was wrong i would never help them massacring families just because they are Albanians
if we have the balls we should take care of our own business we shouldnt need neither assistance nor support by anybody this is the tactic of the coward

the war that the Kurds have been conducting for their independence is not my war, i sympathize to their cause because striving for freedom is a good cause but it has nothing to do with Greece
if we fight Turkey we will fight you for the Aegean and Cyprus, if of course this time ever comes which i hope that it will come
who said im tough or badass? im just a patriot and i want to believe that im not a coward

LMAO!!! you really need to convince yourself that you are not a coward. I got news or you, the genes that you carry gives you the bravery, such things cannot be implied upon someone by force brother. Look at your Turkish mates, they are all strong and bold and proud and they need not convincing themselves.

i dont need to convince my self about anything i know what i feel and what im but it would premature on my behalf to say that im brave since i have not participated in any war yet,. unlike you i try to display some modesty than talking bullsvit and playing the hero
the Turkish genes if we judge from history are full of cowardice you only achieved victories against the weaker but when the Balkan states united against you , you simply couldnt take it , it was just another deep penetration

i dont want to generalize but i do so because i believe that the situations are completely different than they used to be in the past Greece has a powerful military machine for its size and population and im convinced that we will use this machine to the fullest in case of war
im sure that many Greeks feel the way i do, i cannot be the only one who wishes to fight and the rest are cowards it would be ridiculous on my behalf even to think this way
the defender has always the advantage when being attacked because he fights for his own ass provided that he has an adequate military power and im fully convinced that Greece has more than adequate military power to sustain any full scale assault by Turkey succesfully
the only thing that im afraid of is the cowardice of the Greek politicians who may seriously jepardize our morale and readiness with their action in other words im not afraid so much about a military but rather about a political humiliation due to our incompetent politicians who may put into jepardy our war efforts
