    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.

    A, AIR & SPA ID SE CE MU REP SEU INT M AIRCRAFT COLLECTION From the Avenger torpedo bomber, a stalwart from Intrepid’s World War II service, to the A-12, the spy plane from the Cold War, this collection reflects some of the GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS IN MILITARY AVIATION. Photo: Liam Marshall TABLE OF CONTENTS Bombers / Attack Fighters Multirole Helicopters Reconnaissance / Surveillance Trainers OV-101 Enterprise Concorde Aircraft Restoration Hangar Photo: Liam Marshall BOMBERS/ATTACK The basic mission of the aircraft carrier is to project the U.S. Navy’s military strength far beyond our shores. These warships are primarily deployed to deter aggression and protect American strategic interests. Should deterrence fail, the carrier’s bombers and attack aircraft engage in vital operations to support other forces. The collection includes the 1940-designed Grumman TBM Avenger of World War II. Also on display is the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, a true workhorse of the 1950s and ‘60s, as well as the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and Grumman A-6 Intruder, stalwarts of the Vietnam War.

  • Advanced Pilot Training (APT T-X) Aircraft and 46 Ground-Based Training Systems (GBTS) to Replace the Existing Fleet of T-38C Jet Trainers
    Air Force T-7A Red Hawk Trainer Updated September 18, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44856 Air Force T-7A Red Hawk Trainer Summary NOTE: This report was originally written by Ceir Coral while he was an Air Force Fellow at the Congressional Research Service. Since his departure, it has been maintained by Jeremiah Gertler of CRS. On September 27, 2018, the United States Air Force (USAF) awarded The Boeing Company a contract, worth up to $9.2 billion, to procure 351 Advanced Pilot Training (APT T-X) aircraft and 46 Ground-Based Training Systems (GBTS) to replace the existing fleet of T-38C jet trainers. The Air Force had originally valued the contract at roughly $19.7 billion. Information on the value of other competitors’ bids was not available. On September 16, 2019, Acting Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Donovan announced that in service, the T-X aircraft would be known as the T-7A Red Hawk. In this report, “APT T-X” will be used to identify the entire training system, while “T-7A” will refer to the aircraft portion of that system. The FY2020 Administration budget request included $348.473 million for the APT T-X. According to the USAF, the current T-38C trainer fleet is old, costly, and outdated, and lacks the technology to train future pilots for fifth-generation fighter and bomber operations. Based on Air Education Training Command’s evaluation of the required capabilities to train future pilots for fifth-generation fighters and bombers, the T-38C falls short in 12 of 18 capabilities, forcing the USAF to train for those capabilities in operational units where flying hours are costly and can affect fleet readiness.

  • The Republic of Korea: a Defence and Security Primer
    Today, the Republic of Korea (ROK) is a global economic and Primer Security and A Defence Korea: of The Republic industrial powerhouse and is identified as a world leader in ship- building, motor manufacturing and information technology. South Korea has also developed into a vibrant democracy. Despite all its successes the country remains locked in a deadly stand-off with its northern neighbour. Almost 60 years after the end of the Korean War, issues concerning defence and security remain of pri- mary societal and political importance in South Korea. This report attempts to summarise the ROK’s defence and security sectors. In four chapters the report addresses security policy and politics, defence reform, defence industry and R&D. Main findings in the report are that South Korea’s defence and security sector is in a period of general transition and change. Threat perceptions and the fragility of security on the Korean Peninsula have intensified over the past few years. Political reconsiderations of South Korea’s security and defence policies have raised contentions over the direction of its defence reform process, and how it will be implemented. South Korea’s defence industrial and R&D sector is actively seeking increased independence and profitability. It is however limited in how it can pursue these structural changes.

INTRODUCTION As in most Western countries, the shift in East-West relations in the early 1990s led to a major restructuring of the Dutch armed forces. The Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty and its accompanying reduction obligations were soon followed by the realization that further cutbacks were possible due to the new European security environment. In March 1991, therefore, the Dutch Ministry of Defense presented a defense white paper with plans for the next ten years.

  • Indo-Pacific
    INDO-PACIFIC Taiwan Debuts Indigenous Jet Trainer OE Watch Commentary: Taiwan has unveiled a new jet trainer, developed locally, to improve fighter pilot training and increase the countries’ self-reliance. The “Brave Eagle” [鹰勇] project was first proposed in 2016 and work began in 2017. Though Taiwan continues to operate submarines and fighter jets purchased from the Netherlands and France, most nations have ceased selling arms to the island due to pressure from the People’s Republic of China. Taiwan has roughly 100 fixed wing aircraft for pilot training split between T-34C propeller driven trainers and AT-3A/B Tzu-Chung advanced jet trainer. According to the article, Taiwan’s inventory of aging F-5 E/FII fighters are also used in training. Developed in the mid-1980s, the AT-3 Tzu Chung (自强; lit. Self Reliance), was one of several earlier initiatives, which included F-CK-1 indigenous fighter to reduce Taiwan’s reliance on imports of fighter jets AIDC T-5 Brave Eagle. Source: 玄史生 via Wikimedia, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:XAT-5_Advanced_Trainer_Model_Display_at_AIDC_ from abroad. Booth_20150815a.jpg, Public Domain. Taiwan has raised defense spending, and promoted self-reliance in the defense sector as both a national security issue and a way to promote growth in high-tech manufacturing and related fields. According to Taiwan’s 2017 Quadrennial Defense Report, another goal of indigenizing the program is to promote spin-off technologies for the civilian sector. Taiwan is also attempting to indigenize much of its naval development with a facility under construction to build Taiwan’s first indigenous submarine.
