    TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 AEROSPACE TURKEY TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 Aerospace - Defense - Original Equipment Manufacturers Platforms - Clusters - Multinationals - Sub-Tier Suppliers Distinguished GBR Readers, Since the inception of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries 30 years ago, significant steps have been taken to achieve the goals of having the Turkish armed forces equipped with modern systems and technologies and promoting the development of the Turkish defense industry. In the last decade alone, the aerospace and defense (A&D) sector's total turnover quadrupled, while exports have increased fivefold, reaching $5.1 billion and $1.65 billion in 2014, respectively. The industry's investment in research and development (R&D) reached almost $1 billion in 2014. The total workforce in the A&D industry reached 30,000 personnel, of which 30% are engineers. Even more remarkable, Turkey is now at the stage of offering its own platforms for both the local market and to international allies, and has commenced a series of follow up local programs. Although this progress has been achieved under the circumstances of a healthy and consistent political environment and in parallel with sustained growth in the Turkish economy, the proportion of expenditure for defense in the national budget and as a percentage of Turkey’s GDP has been stable. With the help of the national, multinational and joint defense industry projects that have been undertaken in Turkey by the undersecretariat, the defense industry has become a highly capable community comprising large-scale main contractors, numerous sub- system manufacturers, small- and medium-sized enterprises, R&D companies who are involved in high-tech, niche areas, research institutes, and universities.

Autoři v úvodu představují klasifikaci bezpilotních prostředků, a dále pak sledují vývoj a operační nasazení průzkumných a bojových dronů v minulosti. Následná stěžejní část práce se věnuje tureckému vývoji a použití ozbrojených dronů. Text analyzuje produkci hlavních tureckých společností, export a nasazení jejich produktů v nedávných konfliktech. Autoři v závěru textu diskutují úroveň turecké produkce, kterou srovnávají s lídrem na poli ozbrojených dronů, Spojenými státy.

Abstract: This article studies the current stage of development of armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle technology in Turkey, within the context of the current media attention caused by its deployment in various conflicts. Authors first provide a classification framework for surveillance and armed drones. Text proceeds with an overview of the technology and its military use. The core of the text focuses on Turkey’s past and present use of armed drones. Authors analyse the current stage of Turkey’s armed drone development production and export destinations. Furthermore, operational use by Turkey or other parties is discussed. Authors conclude by comparing current generation of Turkish drones to those deployed by the United States, highlighting technological edge on the side of the US, as well as continuing dependency of Turkey’s main drone systems on foreign components.

While the world was enforcing a lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus, war-torn Libya renewed with heavy fighting in the capital. Despite the UNSMIL’s1 call for a lull in the fighting, the Libyan National Army (LNA) and its allies conducted shelling on Tripoli, targeting indistinctly residential neighbourhoods, hospitals and armed groups’ locations. The Government of National Accord (GNA) answered LNA’s shelling campaign by launching an offensive against several western cities. These operations could not have been executed without the support of both conflicting parties’ main backers: Turkey and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The protracted conflict results from both the competing parties’ unwillingness to agree on conditions to resume political negotiations2.

  • Internal Review of Freedom of Information Request - Export Licence Documents - Turkey
    FOI From: Ceri Gibbons <[email protected]> Sent: 09 May 2020 18:35 To: FOI Subject: Internal review of Freedom of Information request - Export licence documents - Turkey To: Department for International Trade Subject: Internal review of Freedom of Information request ‐ Export licence documents ‐ Turkey Dear Department for International Trade, Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews. I am writing to request an internal review of Department for International Trade (DIT) handling of my FOI request 'Export licence documents ‐ Turkey' in order to clarify the following points. 1. The present response appears to be inconsistent with a previous FOIA response from DIT. In DIT's Internal review IR2020/00007 ( original case ref: FOI2019/05650) ‐ dated 4 February 2020 ‐ the DIT Head of Information Rights confirmed that DIT granted a total FIFTEEN (15) and refused ZERO (0) export licence applications for the export of Hornet bomb racks by EDO MBM Technology to Roketsan in Turkey between 2014‐September 2019. 2. However the present response to part 1 of the present request ‐ which is essentially a request for an updated figure of the previous request with undecided cases included ‐ gives a lower number of export license applications ‐ ELEVEN ( 11 ) . One of these is 'stopped', presumably before application approval was decided by DIT and therefore would not have been included in the earlier figure anyway. If that is correct please explain why it appears FIVE (5) approved applications disclosed in the earlier response are not not now listed in the present response. For clarification please provide a table ( as in the previous response) that breaks down the licences by date of approval with the added date of the stopped application.

  • The Revolution in the Drone Warfare
    JEMEAA - FEATURE The Revolution in Drone Warfare The Lessons from the Idlib De-Escalation Zone RIDVAN BARI URCOSTA urkey and Russia are learning how to operationally use a new type of twenty- first- century warfare—unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) warfare. Many historical analogies can be traced to the advent of new types of Tweapons and resulting strategies implemented for their use in a direct, kinetic confrontation. UAVs have existed since the Cold War, but in the 1990s few coun- tries possessed first- generation UAV technologies. Russia and Turkey joined the military UAV technology club relatively late, and both set a straightforward aim toward creating their own indigenous drones—first for utility-based roles and then purely combat drones. Russia achieved the first aim, but Turkey soon man- aged to field its own combat drone. However, Russia has a larger UAV fleet. The beginning of 2020 nearly witnessed Russia and Turkey in direct kinetic war, initially due to a successful Syrian offensive against Turkish-backed rebel forces. This success forced Turkey to enter a war against the Syrian Army, and from 27 February until 5 March 2020, an active phase of hostilities in the Idlib Province ensued. Russia and Turkey came to this confrontation well- experienced in the use of UAVs and electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) warfare technologies, having demonstrated their proficiencies in actions taken against rebel factions in Syria—and in Ankara’s case against Kurdish groups in Turkey—but neither Rus- sia nor Turkey, or other countries for that matter, have experience in employing these technologies in a direct clash against a peer competitor.
