The Turkish Armed Forces has ordered 40 weapons systems, deliveries are scheduled to complete in 2022.
The precision guided firearm integrates technology commonly found in drones, tanks, jet fighters, smartphones and microprocessors, into the conventional system. [7] The following technologies can be integrated in a PGF system: Target acquisition, either through manual designation or auto-acquisition; Lock on and persistent target tracking
If the weapon and ammunition prove superior to existing weapons, a new caliber may be chosen. An intermediate round with characteristics similar to the 6.5 mm Creedmoor is being considered along with the possibility of using a common round in more roles including GPMG and marksman weapons. [12]
In ballistics, the elevation is the angle between the horizontal plane and the axial direction of the barrel of a gun, mortar or heavy artillery.Originally, elevation was a linear measure of how high the gunners had to physically lift the muzzle of a gun up from the gun carriage to compensate for projectile drop and hit targets at a certain distance.
An alternative system was also developed where instead of stabilizing the gun the gun sights were stabilized and the gun fired when its aim matched the gun sight's position. This allowed the gun to elevate or depress free from the gun sight allowing the use of auto-loaders where the gun moves to be loaded, then back to match where the gunsight ...
Weapon System was a United States Armed Forces military designation scheme for experimental weapons [2] (e.g., WS-220) before they received an official name — e.g., under a military aircraft designation system. The new designator reflected the increasing complexity of weapons that required separate development of auxiliary systems or components.
