FNSS will be attending the SAHA EXPO International Defence and Aerospace Exhibition to be held at the Istanbul Expo Centre between 22 – 26 October. FNSS is ready to welcome its visitors at Hall 6 in its
stand: F04.
FNSS will showcase TEBER II 30/40 RCT integrated PARS ALPHA 8×8 New Generation Armoured Fighting Vehicle and Marine Assault Vehicle, which is in service with Turkish Naval Forces.
PARS ALPHA 8×8 New Generation Armoured Fighting Vehicle
Crafted with an acute focus on full-spectrum dominance, the PARS ALPHA 8×8 stands as a
testament to FNSS’s expertise in land systems and its foresight into the evolving landscape of
military engagement. PARS ALPHA 8×8 incorporates state-of-the-art platform design and
technologies to enhance exceptional mobility, survivability, durability, situational awareness and
life support systems in pioneering revolutionary solutions in new-generation armoured warfare.
Through any weather condition, its innovative 8×8 all-wheel-drive, ride-height control and all-axle
steering system offers advanced mobility. The hydro-pneumatic suspension with adjustable ride
height enables persistent cross-country agility, enhanced by a turning radius optimized for
confined urban warfare.
The vehicle also offers superior performance and reliability with its extended operational
endurance, covering an impressive 5000 km of cross-country and on-road drive, without any need
for field maintenance. PARS ALPHA 8×8’s reduced logistics burden, increased mean time between
failures (MTBF) and enhanced mission readiness, elevates combat manoeuvres with a vehicle that
goes beyond expectations.
This next-gen vehicle brings revolutionized protection systems offering unrivalled resistance to
mines, IEDs, KE threats and artillery projectiles. Mine blast attenuation seats and positioning the
driver and commander above the second axle behind the power pack compartment reinforce
crew safety against very high threats from all around the vehicle.
This design approach provides unique KE ballistic protection especially at the vehicles frontal arc. Its hydro-pneumatic suspension system with adjustable ride height control can increase mine protection by surpassing a ground clearance of 60cm on demand. A gunshot detection system, laser warning, soft-kill and hard-kill active protection systems can also be integrated based on user requirements.
Its adaptable structural design and vehicle silhouette enable a best-in-class lower profile while
maintaining an extensive internal volume with open architecture. These features ensure the crew
and dismounts remain fortified against external threats, underlining their role as a new generation
asset for modern warfare.
The new generation PARS ALPHA 8×8 comprises the integration of advanced weaponry. TEBER-II
30/40 remote-controlled turret (RCT) is fitted with 30mm dual feed automatic cannon. The 30mm
The cannon can be replaced with a 40mm barrel by changing the recoil spring and forward feeder.
This convertible weapon of choice enables the user to upgrade its firepower with minimum effort
when and wherever required. A 7.62mm chain gun or MAG machine gun can be coaxially mounted
and aligned with the main gun.
TEBER-II 30/40 RCT is also adapted to use various modern anti-armour systems such as Semiautomatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) and Automatic command to line of sight (ACLOS)
guided missile types. An onboard fire control system supports two ready-to-fire ATGMs. This capability enables diversified threat engagements with an effective range beyond
4km.
A high elevation and low depression 7.62mm or 5.56mm independent overhead remote-controlled
weapon system (ORCWS) is situated on top of the turret. Its high elevation is used against threats
on high grounds in urban environments (buildings, roofs, etc.) as well as encountering drones
approaching from top angles. ORCWS is also used as the commander’s independent sight for
hunter-killer capabilities.
Both the turret and RCWS are designed to engage multiple targets simultaneously from all
directions. TEBER-II 30/40 RCT offers target tracking and two-axis stabilisation that allows firing
on the move. Besides TEBER-II 30/40 RCT, the vehicle can be fitted with various types of manned
or remote-control turrets up to 120mm direct/indirect guns or weapon systems, 120mm mortars,
air defence systems and anti-armour systems.
PARS ALPHA 8×8 New Generation Armoured Fighting Vehicle features a revolutionized structural
design by situating the crew and dismounts behind the power pack compartment. With its
compact powerpack design, the commander and driver are able to sit side-by-side. This new layout
approach enables 180°+ real-time optical situational awareness for both occupants.
It also enhances crew safety during long-distance drives without opening top hatches in hostile
territories. Subsequently, it also ensures eye contact and improved coordination between the
vehicle crew and the dismounts. In addition to its unique optical field of view, the vehicle is
equipped with displays and integrated 360-degree situational awareness cameras that provide both day and night vision for crew and dismounts.
Marine Assault Vehicle is Now In Service with the NAVY
Marine Assault Vehicle (MAV) is a vehicle designed specially to facilitate the rapid ship-to-shore
movement of troops stationed on landing ships during the beach assault phase of an amphibious
operations. MAV allows marine units to land under armour protection. It provides fire support to
troops disembarking from the vehicle from the moment they land on the beach, enabling their inland
objectives after ashore.
Delivered to Turkish Naval Forces, MAV became the fastest amphibious armoured vehicle that the Turkish Armed Forces have in inventory. MAVs have all the features and capabilities of both a military land vehicle and a military marine vessel by balancing land and sea requirements. This dual role by
definition, the vehicle offers high performance both on land and water operations.
A unique hull design and powerful water jets make the MAV highly mobile in the water with a speed
of seven knots, as well as on land, at 70km/h maximum speed. It is capable of self-righting ability in case
of capsizing and/or operating in harsh sea/ocean conditions. Thanks to its long cruising range, it offers
seaborne, land to sea and land-to-land capabilities.
MAV has higher ballistic and mine protection compared to its predecessors and is equipped with
today’s most advanced mission equipment. MAV is fitted with a CAKA Remote Controlled Turret, which can carry a maximum load of ready-to-fire rounds and ballistic protection. FNSS CAKA RWS features advantages with its water resistance structure, lightweight, better protection for the gunner, target acquisition, automatic target tracking, stabilisation, reliability, accuracy and increased usable volume inside the vehicle.
The base vehicle can be configured in different variants such as personnel carrier, battlefield support,
beach recovery, combat engineering and command post configurations. MAV outperforms its predecessors in terms of personnel and equipment to be transported in the vehicle, ballistic and mine protection levels, performance criteria to be met on land and in water and new generation remote-controlled turret.
