Meteksan Defence also
produces the sensors mounted along starboard and port sides of the submarine
hull and form the wet-end side of the flank array sonar. The MSH-11 sensor is
also intended to be used in flank array sonar systems of Type 209 Mod 1400
class submarines, which are in service both in the Turkish Navy and worldwide
Navies.
Being Contractor of
the Sonar Sub Systems of TÜBİTAK BİLGEM in the MUREN PREVEZE National
Production Integrated Underwater Combat Management System Development Project,
Meteksan Defence is assigned as responsible for the development of
pre-electronic equipment that amplifies and converts the analogue signals
coming from sensors to digital, as well as the signal processing and beamforming
hardware and software of these digital signals. In addition, the sonar
developed by Meteksan within the scope of the Intercept Detection and Ranging
Sonar (IDRS) Project will be integrated into our PREVEZE Class submarines
within the scope of the project.
Özgür Cankara, Vice
President of Meteksan Defence, explains the importance of the submarine sonar
systems; “The work of the National Submarine (MİLDEN) Project continues at a
great pace. Sonar systems are one of the important components of this project, in
which maximum local contribution is observed. As Meteksan Defence, we work not
only for today’s but also for the future’s sonar technologies. By adapting the
Fiber-Optic Acoustic Sensors, we are developing to submarine platforms; we aim
to contribute to the submarine needs of the future in the MİLDEN Project.
