The 8th of the R&D Panels, where the decisions to start R&D projects in the field of defense industry were taken, was held at the Presidency of Defense Industry (SSB). At the 8th R&D Panel meeting of the SSB, it was decided to initiate 9 Projects and to initiate a Wide Area Call (SAGA) in 1 area.
In addition to the SSB, representatives from the Ministry of National Defense, the Turkish Armed Forces, TÜBİTAK and academicians related to the projects take part in the R&D Panels as members. At the SSB R&D Panels, decisions are made to initiate projects for the development of critical components or new future-oriented technologies required by TSK's existing or planned systems and platforms. At the same time, it is decided to make wide area calls targeting technical demonstration projects that do not include final product deliveries. SME-Industry-University cooperation is important in the projects. Universities, institutes or SMEs take part in projects as contractors or subcontractors.
As a result of the R&D Panels, the first of which was held in 2016 and gathered 8 times so far, it was decided to initiate a total of 49 Projects and to publish the Defense Industry Wide Area Call (SAGA) in 20 areas.
President of the Presidency of Defense Industry Prof. Dr. İsmail Demir made a statement on the subject; Stating that 119 billion liras have been spent on 4,1 R&D projects completed and ongoing so far, he said that they carry out these projects together with universities, companies, research institutions and institutes. Stating that 20 years ago, R&D expenditures in the defense industry did not even reach 50 million dollars a year, today it exceeds 1 billion 250 million dollars a year, Demir said, “We will continue on our way without compromising our work on R&D and technology in the target of a fully independent defense industry.”
R&D Projects and SAGA Calls Decided to Start as a Result of the 8th R&D Panel Meeting of the SSB:
Immigrant Program Wide Area Call It is aimed to create innovative navigation concepts and solutions for environments where global positioning systems (GPS) do not work or are blocked, and to identify the best solutions within the framework of the criteria to be determined.
Acquisition of Underwater Synthetic Aperture Imaging Capability (SAS) Project With this project, it is aimed to gain synthetic aperture underwater imaging capability in the country, which can serve applications in various marine platforms, especially unmanned submarine vehicles. In this context, it is aimed to develop signal processing algorithms for wideband acoustic sensors and high resolution imaging.
Project Development of Laser Metal Powder Melting Process for Ceramic Doped Metal Matrix Composite Materials and gas turbine aviation engine parts; It is aimed to prepare metal matrix composite powders with different compositions suitable for additive manufacturing technology in order to improve wear resistance, high temperature resistance and mechanical strength properties and to develop the additive manufacturing process in which these powders will be used.
Project for the Development of High Temperature Eutectic Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites It is aimed to develop eutectic oxide ceramic matrix composite materials that can be an alternative to nickel-based super alloys in the production of high temperature turbine parts in gas turbine aviation engines, to carry out experimental design for different compositions and additives, to produce as semi-finished ingots (ingot) and to characterize them.
Graphene Based Flexible Electrode Materials Development Project It is aimed to develop graphene-based, flexible, wearable and sensitive sensor materials for the production of cutaneous electrode materials for the monitoring of body signals of military personnel. By using the sensing electrodes to be developed in electrocardiography, electromyography and electroencephalography applications; It is aimed to collect physiological signals originating from the pulse, muscles and brain by non-invasive methods.
Low Phase Noise Oscillator Development Projects It is aimed to develop oscillators with low phase noise, which are modeled with the help of dielectric resonators and crystal resonators used in Radar Systems.
YIG Filter Development Project It is aimed to develop the adjustable broadband filter, which is used in Electronic Warfare Systems, Radar Warning and ELINT receivers, domestically.
High Power Electromagnetic (YGEM) Threat Resistant Precoat Limiter Development Project It is aimed to develop an RF MEMS-based limiter that can prevent high-power electromagnetic weapons from causing temporary or permanent damage to communication, radar and electronic warfare systems.
X Band RF Application Specific Integrated Circuit (TETİK) Domestic Production Process Development Project It is aimed to develop an integrated circuit (ASIC) to be used in various munitions by using the Process Design Kit (PTK) and library developed within the scope of the SiGe Library Project.
Ku-Band Multifunctional RF Chip (RF CoreChip) Domestic Manufacturing Process Development Project It is aimed to develop a beamformer multi-functional chip for use in new generation AESA radars using SiGe BiCMOS technology.
