Projects :

• Missiles

1. UMTAS/LUMTAS-GM(Long-range Anti-tank guided missile): In the first configuration, UMTAS/LUMTAS-GM Block-1, there are two different seeker head options. The system, which can be used with an Infrared Imager Seeker (IIR) or Semi-Active Laser Seeker integrated, will be able to reach a range of 1 to 16 kilometers when launched from land vehicles and 1 to 20+ kilometers when launched from helicopters. Expected to enter in the inventory 2024. UMTAS/LUMTAS-GM-Blok-2, which has the ability to be fired day / night, according to the type of warhead it has; It can be used against main battle tanks, armoured personnel carriers, trucks, all-terrain vehicles, light pillboxes, trenches, buildings, helicopters flying at low altitude. It will be able to reach a range of 1 to 32+ kilometers when launched from land vehicles, and 1 to 50+ kilometers when launched from helicopters. Expected to enter in inventory 2025 onwards.
2. LOMTAS(Medium-range Anti-tank guided missile): ROKETSAN has started to develop the LOMTAS Anti-Tank Missile over the OMTAS Missile with imager infrared seeker (IIR) head. Unlike OMTAS, the LOMTAS Anti-Tank Missile will have a semi-active laser seeker ,and will be produced at an extremely low cost compared to OMTAS. The developed missile will be effective up to a range of 4+ kilometers.
3. Tayfun(Short-range ballistic missile): Expected to enter in inventory. In mass production.
4. Cenk(Medium-range ballistic missile): CENK, which will be Turkey's first Medium Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM), is expected to have a range of 1000+ kilometers.
5. Gürz(Surface-to-air-missile): Developed by Aselsan Gürz is hybrid short-to-medium range air defence system. The design based on the ANADOLU ISUZU Seyit 8×8 vehicle includes the following systems : 35 mm cannon capable of using particulate ammunition , 4 BOZDOĞAN or GÖKDOĞAN derivative low-altitude air defence missiles , Very low-altitude defence missile , Fire Control Radar , AESA Search Radar with 4 indexes.

• Vehicles

1. New Generation Armoured Combat Vehicles : With the NEW-AFV Project, a large number of armoured combat vehicles, both tactical wheeled (6×6 and 8×8) and tracked types, will be procured. At the first stage, the procurement of tactical wheeled type vehicles will be carried out. In accordance with the principle of 'prototypes will compete', which was previously announced by the Ministry of Defence, the NEW AFV Project is carried out in a two-stage tender process. In the first stage, the vehicles in the tender will go through a three-step competition process under the coordination of the independent test institution TRTEST. These steps are; ballistic tests, mine and improvised explosive tests and mobility tests in the second stage, the results of the competition and price offers will be evaluated. It is estimated that the results of the tests carried out within the scope of the NEW-AFV tender will be finalized in the first quarter of next year. Within the scope of the New Generation Armored Combat Vehicles Project, BMC, FNSS and Otokar companies compete on the basis of tactical wheeled vehicles.
2. Tunga(Medium class unmanned ground vehicle) :Developed by Katmerciler hybrid driven UGV.

• Artillery

1. ARPAN-155(155 mm Truck mounted self-propelled howitzer) : Developed by BMC and ASFAT ARPAN-155 is Panter towed howitzer which is modernized and mounted on 8x8 wheeled truck.

• Aircraft

1. New liaison and utility aircraft project.
2. Hürkuş-C light attack aircraft.

• Helicopter

1. TAI T929 ATAK 2(Attack helicopter) : Developed by Turkish Aerospace industries, Atak 2 will be better than the Atak T129 in terms of payload, overall performance, speed, range and avionics.

• Electronic warfare system

1. EJDERHA - Developed by Aselsan for the Land Forces Command and security forces, EJDERHA will be able to remotely stop all kinds of civil/military vehicles with electronic circuits with electromagnetic signals. The system, which can be integrated into tactical wheeled armoured/tracked vehicles, can be controlled manned and unmanned (by remote command).
