After the initial details of Turkiye’s future aircraft carrier were disclosed, further information emerged when the Istanbul Naval Shipyard’s Design Project Office welcomed the press. Since these are preliminary designs, it’s crucial not to overanalyze the specifics, as initial designs invariably evolve based on requirements and technological advancements. The key takeaway here is the ongoing active engagement with this topic. While officials have shared preliminary designs, there is currently no timetable announced for the aircraft carrier. Some voices within Turkey argue that the Turkish Navy should prioritize critical projects like the I-class frigate and the TF2000 air defense destroyer over the aircraft carrier. However, it’s worth noting that progress on some of these projects may be achieved or even completed before the construction phase of the aircraft carrier begins. The choice of aircraft to be carried by the aircraft carrier is another significant issue. Solutions such as the Hürjet or unmanned aircraft may provide limited air power for the carrier’s force. However, the consideration of the naval version of the KAAN jet suggests a more ambitious vision in this regard. Furthermore, recent improvements in Turkish-American relations have led to the US Congress approving the delivery of F-16 Block 70 Viper fighters to Turkey. Subsequently, some officials have made positive statements regarding Turkiye’s potential return to the F-35 program. If progress continues in this direction, it could be considered as an option for the aircraft carrier’s air complement in the future. My latest on Naval News

The revolution in battlefield operations and survivability has been triggered by the Ukraine conflict. I expect to see more autonomous micro drone swarms delivered by larger unmanned systems. Great article by David Ignatius: "What’s finally driving change is the brutal lesson of the war in Ukraine. This is a drone and satellite war: Russian and Ukrainian tanks are almost defenseless against attacks from drones overhead; Russia’s huge Navy has lost control of the Black Sea because of Ukrainian naval drones; satellites can feed precise targeting information to kill anything that algorithms designate as a weapon. But there’s a catch: The Ukraine battlefield is a blizzard of electronic warfare. So systems must be truly autonomous, able to operate without GPS or other external guidance."

While the lessons learned from Ukraine and drone warfare are valuable, they do not negate the necessity for manned aerial armed reconnaissance. That is a big risk. Lot of financial and intellectual capital invested to just dismiss this capability. Everyone tries to predict the next war to include technologists, and for centuries people have been wrong more than right. Technologists today are technologists from the past. We have always had people striving in technological thought and solutions. Not all of them were right. Be interesting to hear others' thoughts. Read more here:

"At no moment since World War II has the service faced a more urgent demand to embrace new technologies and weapons systems, given the rising threat from a now formidable Chinese military." "Small, agile boats would help the U.S. win a conflict with China, some experts say. But the Navy, wedded to tradition, is still building big ships." What was a requirement yesterday may have morphed into a preference (or tradition or convenience) today. It is essential for teams and organizations to learn to differentiate between requirements and PTCs (preferences, traditions, and conveniences) and then act on any new understanding. Otherwise, they risk falling behind in the "marketplace" and subsequently facing hefty consequences. #StrategicDiversityManagement

Saab's underwater systems have supported two ‘operational experimentation exercises’ involving over 2,000 civilian and military personnel from 15 NATO nations, Ireland and Sweden. Read more >> https://hubs.la/Q026njbR0 Saab deployed the AUV62-AT anti-submarine warfare training target, alongside the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), Seaeye Falcon (Saab Seaeye). The Seaeye Falcon was operated from the Portuguese Navy Vessel, Dom Carlos I, while the AUV62-AT was operated from a naval base. Both systems participated throughout the two exercises, REPMUS 23 and DYNAMIC MESSENGER 23, over a total of three weeks. “It has been a privilege to collaborate with NATO and industry experts in exploring how we tackle the developing threats against our Critical Undersea Infrastructure, a defensive capability which no doubt will see more activity in the coming years.” - Dean Rosenfield, Chief Marketing Officer and Managing Director, Saab UK.
