ULAK

DEVELOPMENT OF FOURTH GENERATION (4G / LTE) COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

Within the scope of the project;
1. Commercial / Public Security 4.5G (LTE Advanced)
Base Station
2. Tetra Base Station and LTE / TETRA / APCO / DMR
Integration
3. LTE Based Military Communication System
R&D studies are carried out. Thus, 4.5 G communication
technologies will be developed with
national facilities and capabilities.
The Protocol of Intent for the use
of the ULAK base station in the
Public Security and Emergency
Communication infrastructures,
has been signed between ASELSAN
and SSB.

DEVELOPMENT OF CARBON FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC (THERMOSET RESIN) IN AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS

Prepregs, with epoxy resin matrix system
and woven, multiaxial and unidirectional
(UD) carbon fiber reinforcement, for
aerospace and defense industries are
developed and qualified within the scope
of the Project. Export license restricted
carbon fiber prepreg production
accomplished domestically.
Wing Spar of ANKA is designed and
manufactured using the materials
developed in the Project and structural
static tests are performed.

KRİSTAL

DEVELOPMENT OF NICKEL BASED SUPERALLOY MATERIALS AND PRODUCTION PROCESSES IN AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS

Improved casting process and efficient
design of air-cooling of turbine
blades are required for higher inlet
temperatures. The aim of the Project
is to gain the production processes for
nickel-based superalloys with improved
high-temperature performance for
long-life gas turbine engines and to
apply them in turbine engines.
Scope of the project includes; air-cooled
turbine blade design, single crystal
casting, directional solidification, heat
treatment, surface coating and drilling
processes for turbine blades.
System Requirements Phase and
Process Development activities are
continuing. Prototype Manufacturing
Phase will start, after completion of
these activities.
