After year 2000, FNSS developed a new generation of 6X6 and 8X8 Wheeled Armored Combat Vehicles named PARS, which in Turkish means Anatolian Leopard. Today, the vehicles em-ploy the latest design and technologies from commercial off–the-shelf (COTS) which have been Militarized (MCOTS) to meet the performance and durability of modern military operational requirements. FNSS has the capability to meet the specific requirements of its customers by incorporating a variety of weapon stations and mission systems.

In 2011, FNSS signed a master agreement with its Malaysian partner Deftech for the development and production of 257 each Malaysian AV8 (8X8) Armored Wheeled Vehicles in 12 configurations. The vehicle is based on the PARS 8X8 WAV technology.

In January 2007, FNSS was awarded a contract by the Turkish MoD to design, develop, and manufacture Armored Amphibious Assault Bridge (AAAB) platforms, which use the main automo-tive components of the FNSS designed 8X8 PARS Vehicles. FNSS completed the delivery of 52 AAAB units to Turkish Land Forces in 2013.

The AAAB project was followed by the design, development, and production of the Amphibious Armored Combat Earthmov-er (AACE), which extended the combat engineering capability of Turkish Land Forces. The delivery of 12 units was completed in 2012.

FNSS also designed, developed and manufactured a medi-um weight tracked armored platform named as ACV-30. The platform is for the Low Altitude Self Propelled Air Defense Gun System and Low/Medium Altitude Self Propelled Air Defense Missile Systems, which is being developed for the Turkish Land Forces.

FNSS Savunma Sistemleri A.Ş. is a Turkish joint venture company owned 51% by Nurol Holding of Turkey and49% by BAE Systems, Inc. with facilities located in Gölbaşı, Ankara, Turkey.

FNSS is a leading manufacturer and supplier of tracked and wheeled armored combat vehicles and weapon systems for the Turkish and Allied Armed Forces.

The company was established in 1988 to manufacture 1698 each Armored Combat Vehicles (ACV’s) for Turkish Armed Forces under a direct commercial contract (1st package ACV-15) with the Undersecretariat of Defense Industries (SSM). FNSS started production in August 1991 at facilities situated on a total area of 280.000 square meters. The 1st package of Armored Combat Vehicles (ACV-15) contract was successful-ly completed in 2000. The 2nd package of Armored Combat Vehicles contract was signed in 2000 and completed in a four year period.

FNSS has a full family of Tracked Armored Combat Vehicles (ACV-15), designed with the necessary mounting provisions to transform the vehicle into various configurations based on user requirements. The Advanced Armored Personnel Carrier (AAPC) configuration forms the base vehicle for all other vari-ants of this family of vehicles. FNSS has developed the ACV-19 family of vehicles which provides higher internal usable volume and payload. ACV-19 offers the latest developments in high value vehicle performance while maintaining commonality with the ACV-15 family of vehicles.

ACVs manufactured by FNSS have been used for thousands of kilometers by Turkish and UAE army contingencies serving with the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces in Somalia, Bos-nia & Herzegovina, Kosovo and Afghanistan.

The ACV-19 (Armored Combat Vehicle) is the general name for a 15-19 ton class modern high performance vehicles derived from the highly successful FNSS ACV. These vehicles have proven themselves with a number of armies worldwide. ACV-19 offers the latest developments in high value vehicle performance for internal volume and payload but maintains the advantages of commonality with ACV family of vehicles.

The differences between ACV-15 and ACV-19 consist primarily of a longer (stretched) hull (6 road wheels), heavy duty final drives, more aggressive suspension. The ACV-19 offers more volume under armor, more payload capacity than ACV-15. This means that the ACV-19 chassis can carry high payloads such as greater payload turrets, and still provide the comparable performance as a standard ACV-15. In addition, it is 90% spare parts commonality to ACV-15.

The ACV-19 chassis are provided with a unique, space laminat-ed armor system combining steel and aluminum technology to provide a high level of armor protection against direct KE threats. Also, the hull provides protection against mines.

The ve-hicle with its crew of 5 can operate in water that is deep and fast-flowing without any preparation. In the water, the vehicle can perform pivot turns and even move backwards when re-quired. The increased maneuvering capability in the water is due to the two water jets located at the rear of the vehicle.

The PARS 4X4 can operate on any rough terrain with a reduced break of angle, low center of gravity, fully independent suspen-sion system, ABS-assisted hydraulic disc brakes, low ground pressure and increased angles of approach and departure. The PARS 4X4 can climb slopes of 70% and hold on slopes of 40%, and it can pass over 50 cm vertical obstacles with ease. The hydraulic recovery winch system located at the front of the vehicle has the ability to provide self-recovery when required. The mobility of PARS 4X4 has been increased via the central tire inflation system, and it also has a run-flat capability. The PARS 4X4 has a top speed of 120 km/h on asphalt and a range of 700 km. The vehicle can switch from 4X4 mode for rough terrain to 4X2 mode for use on a highway. The PARS 4X4 has an automatic transmission and an axle lock for slippery surfaces and soft soil.

The windows are ballistically protected and designed to afford a wide field of view for both the driver and the crew. The PARS 4X4 also provides the driver and the commander with integrat-ed night and day vision cameras that enable operations in night drives without head lights. The command and warning panels and the mine-protected seats have been specifically devel-oped for the commander, driver, gunner and military personnel with their equipment.

The body of the vehicle is made of ballistic material, which pro-vides protection against mines and improvised explosives.

The vehicle is especially noteworthy due to its load carrying capacity, its open architecture features and the way it was designed to accommodate the equipment that is used in the vehicle in order to carry out different missions and meet user requirements.

The PARS 4X4 can be transported using any kind of military transport aircraft including the CH-47 Chinook heavy load he-licopter.

AACE armored amPhibious combat earthmover

oVERViEW

AACE is an amphibious, armored, tracked, combat earthmover to be used for preparation of the river banks in crossing over operations. It is capable of performing bulldozing, rough grading, excavating, hauling, and scraping operations. As compared to standard work machines, AACE has the capability to take in ballast from the soil ground to its ballast canister when necessary and discharge it at the end of the operation. In standard work machines, the dozer blade is swinging while the vehicle is stable however in AACE it is fixed to the vehicle. With its superior hydraulic suspension system, the front side of AACE can be lifted down or up and by this way its blade or ballast canister can touch and access the ground. As a result, more efficient shoveling and plowing can be performed. These activities can also be performed while the vehicle is mobile.

The system is designed and developed by Turkish companies; FNSS & ASELSAN as a medium caliber turret solution to wheeled and tracked armored vehicles. FNSS Savunma Sistemleri A.Ş. and ASELSAN has completed the first example of the CLAW Remote Controlled Turret (RCT) which has developed as a joint venture for the home and export markets. The ability to locate a weapon system almost entirely on top of a vehicle hull with virtually no intrusion to the hull can be a major advantage. These systems also enable the gunner to be located anywhere inside the hull providing additional flex-ibility. This approach led the way for the remote weapon sta-tions and later to remote or unmanned turrets.

Remote or unmanned turrets are fairly new players in the are-na of weapon systems as alternatives to conventional turrets and remote controlled weapon stations. They can be consid-ered as a hybrid design combining the non-intrusion of remote weapon stations with armor protection and reachability of the conventional turrets.

Development of the CLAW RCT started in 2008 with the first example being completed in early 2011 and this was shown in public for the first time in May 2011. The project was internally funded by both companies.

The CLAW RCT is suitable for installation on a wide range of tracked and wheeled armoured fighting vehicles (AFV) as orig-inal equipment or to enhance the firepower of older platforms. The first example of the CLAWs RCT is armed with the RHEIN-METALL Italy 25 mm KBA dual feed automatic cannon which is provided with 210 rounds of ready use 25x137 mm ammuni-tion in two separate compartments for HE and AP. The empty cartridge cases and links are ejected outside of the turret for main and secondary armaments.

The 25 mm KBA cannon has a maximum cyclic rate of fire of 600 rounds/minute and the gunner can select single shot or burst modes of fire. A 7.62 mm MG3 machine gun (MG) is mounted co-axial with the 25 mm KBA cannon on the right side of the CLAWs RCT and this is provided with 400 rounds of ready use ammunition. The gun is electromechanically cocked from the user interface within the hull.

A key feature of the CLAW (or Pençe in Turkey), is that ammunition for both of these weapons can be reloaded from within the platform under full armour protection.

M113 FoV CApAbility & sustAinment progrAm

The sustainability solution meets all of the M113 Family of Vehicles for mobility upgrades with the only differences in the specific mission modules required by a variant to meet its mission. Therefore, M113 variants will all be based on a common mobility platform providing significant saving in logistics such as spare parts inventories and a common maintenance policy.

The FNSS solution is the lowest cost alternative that fully meets the requirements for a modern reliable M113 FoV’. FNSS M113A4 is based on common subsystems with Malaysian ACV Adnan, Turkish Army’s standard ACV and United Arab Emirates ACV 350 Dhabyan vehicles. This configuration significantly im-proves ease of operation, safety, reliability, performance and durability over the M113A1 and A2.

M113A4 delivers significant improvements on mobility and survivability compared to older M113 FoV’ consisting of mod-ern diesel engine and automatic transmission. Reliability and durability have been greatly improved with the installation of the FNSS developed ACV power pack.

This improvement in reliability and durability ensures that during operational deployment, there is a minimum of down-time for the vehicles, thus, releasing valuable maintenance personnel for other tasks. This also guarantees maximum time for operational deployment by the user. This modernized M113A4 FoV provides the user, a reliable simple to operate ve-hicle with an operational service life of 15-20 years.

The solution closely matches the ACV vehicles that have been tested several times between -20 to +60 °C weather condi-tions and all terrains. In addition, the M113A4 has undergone a full desert mobility testing and which was successfully com-pleted covering over 2000 miles in the summer of 2005.

The configuration of FNSS ACV and M113A4 is NATO certified, qualified by the original M113 vehicle manufacturer and in service with the Turkish, U.A.E, Bahrain, Philippines and Malaysian Armies.
