STAMP
GUNS AND GUN SYSTEMS MODERNIZATION FOR COAST GUARD BOATS
STAMP is a remotely operated stabilized
gun/weapon system developed for
land and naval platforms. Suited on
a turret with long range and highly
sensitive night and day cameras, it can
detect and identify targets according
to the project schedule at night and
in adverse visibility conditions . With
stabilization and automatic target
tracking ability, the line of fire is kept
on the target without being affected
by the platform or the movement of
the target, and with the automatic
ballistic application accurate shots at
the target are possible.
MPT - 76
NATIONAL INFANTRY RIFLE
The National Infantry Rifle (MPT-76), produced
without any technical support from abroad, and
using national resources only, has passed all of the
weighted 42 NATO standard tests including cold and
hot air, sand, rain and mud tests. At temperatures
between -40° and 65° C, under the threat of
pressurized water, and even in mud, the rifle can fire
650 shots per minute trouble-free. The rifle has a
frame weight of 4.1 kg and an effective range of up
to 600 meters. The MPT-76 rifle uses bullets with a
diameter of 7.62 mm and has a barrel with a lifespan
up to 12,000 shots. Receiving interest in foreign
markets, 34.500 pieces of the national rifle were
produced by different companies in 2017 and will be
delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces.
UMTAS
LONG RANGE ANTI-TANK MISSILE SYSTEM
The UMTAS is a long range anti-tank missile system that can be integrated into various platforms such
as helicopters, UAVs, light armored vehicles, fixed ground platforms, close air support aircraft and naval
platforms, and is effective against all armored systems. UMTAS is designed as an anti-tank missile system for
the National ATAK Helicopter (T-129). Within the scope of this project, the objective is the nationalization of
critical technology areas such as seeker technology, low-smoke/smokeless high energy solid fuel technologies,
insensitive engine technologies, insensitive warhead technologies, insensitive igniter technologies, safety
building unit technologies, inertial measurement unit technologies and tandem
void shaped charge warhead technologies. Developed by ROKETSAN A.Ş., the
system has day and night operational capability in all weather conditions. With
a range of 8 km, UMTAS has been developed against armored targets for use
either as air- to-surface or surface- to-surface with the options of infrared
seeker head and laser seeker head. Having two utilization features named
“fire-forget” and “fire-update,” UMTAS, with
the advantage provided by its target update
capability, provides the opportunity to fire
behind a cover, fire at targets hidden behind
a cover, set precise hit points, and assess
impact effectivity, and is effective against both
stationary and moving targets.
