The Volume of the Defense Industry Will Double With 52 Major Projects

The volume of the defense industry will double with 52 major projects: The answers of 8 companies are being evaluated for the Initial Training Aircraft (BEU), and the call for proposal file is being prepared. In the Multi-Purpose Coast Guard Helicopter Procurement Project, a call for proposal file (RBD) was issued, 5 companies (Airbus Helicopters, NH Industries, AgustaWestland, Sikorsky and Bell) received files. These companies must submit their bids by June 16.

52 patents were registered in a year. The sector is trying to respond to SSM's projects with great investment and R&D. This development is also reflected in patent registrations. According to the data of the Turkish Patent Institute (TPE), the defense industry, whose R&D expenditures amount to 1 billion dollars, is the second sector that has increased the number of patent registrations proportionally. In 2000, the number of patents received in a year in the sector was only two in the manufacture of weapons and ammunition, but now it has reached fifty-two.

In spite of the big attack, the former Undersecretary of Defense Industry Murad Bayar still sees the performance in the sector and the restructuring is on the agenda. There is a model study on this subject. On the other hand, the projects are walking. At present, the value of the ongoing projects exceeds the estimated 10 billion dollars.

4 billion-dollar frigate project feasibility is ok

Within the scope of MİLGEM, the first 2 ships (Heybeliada and Büyükada) were built in Gölcük. 2 of them are produced by Istanbul Shipyard. Tender decision was taken for the remaining 4 ships. Bids are being evaluated for 2 Logistic Support Ships (LDG) projects. Metin Kalkavan's Sedef Shipyard will manufacture the dock landing craft (LPD), also called an aircraft carrier. (This project was previously given to Koç company RMK, which was later cancelled.) The biggest job in the ship group is the TF 2000 Project… Air defense warfare frigates will be purchased to provide defense against attacks from ships, planes and other aircraft.

Feasibility studies have been completed. Project model determination studies are continuing. SSM did not disclose a figure, but the figure of 4 billion dollars is pronounced for the project cost. In the support ship subgroup, the Sailing School Ship project is on the agenda. 4+2 Multi-Purpose Helicopters, whose bids are currently being received, two groups of helicopter purchases, air cushion landing vehicles, special-purpose tactical wheeled armored and armored amphibious assault vehicles whose feasibility studies have been completed… Among these projects, only helicopter projects are 'direct supply'. will be taken. Others will be produced by domestic industry. Contract negotiations are being held with the Chinese CPMIEC for the Long-Range Regional Air and Defense Systems Project.

This project also evaluates the objections of NATO and some of its members. Kale Kalıp officials, who are the contractor of the national infantry rifle project, isi Production line qualifications are continuing in the National Infantry Rifle Project which is progressing with the cooperation of Makina Kimya. We expect mass production to start in the second half of 2014 seri.

8 billion dollars turnover 2 billion dollars turnover target, export

The 52 project, under which the Undersecretariat has not yet signed a contract, the contract for which feasibility is in progress or is still ending, is collected under the 9 title, such as air, land, sea, weapons and radar systems. The 2016 billion dollars turnover targeted for the 8 year of the defense industry is expected to be 2 billion dollars. The turnover of the defense industry (direct / indirect) is 2012 billion 4 million dollars at 756. (2013 figure has not been announced yet.) Defense and aviation exports 1 billion 262 million dollars, total R & D spending 772.7 million dollars.

5 company received file for coast guard helicopter

The helicopter development and joint production projects of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM) are also underway. There are three separate projects within the scope of direct supply. These are EGM Middle Class, Multi Purpose Coast Guard and General Purpose Sea helicopter projects. Companies are currently receiving a call for a proposal for the Multi-Purpose Coast Guard Helicopter Procurement Project. The 5 companies that received files are: Airbus Helicopters-Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH, NH Industries, AgustaWestland SpA-AgustaWestland Ltd., Sikorsky and Bell Helicopter Textron Inc.

Domestic procurement policy expands sector

xnumx'l in Turkey at the beginning of the year, defense, aerospace and security needs could only be met by xnumx's percent of domestic supply. This percentage is now based on 2000. SSM gives projects to local companies whenever possible.

Turkey's defense spending is relatively high in the group of countries that paves the way for the sector. In the sector documents, ürün SSM's prioritization approach to the original product development programs that it started to implement has been an important turning point in the development of the sector. With this approach, our defense industry has started to take new products into its product range and has gained a variety of products it can export. It is a fact that these products have entered the inventory of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) and that these products have proven performance in the field of operations and that it is a matter of interest for other countries. Off-set applications increase the export of military products in the aviation industry; ın Combined with the performance of our industrialists in this field, it has opened the door of civil aviation bu.
