New Generation Multi-Wheel Armored Vehicle: ARMA 8X8

Otokar's new generation ARMA 8x8 model will be exhibited at SAHA Expo. ARMA multi-wheeled vehicle family, which has proven itself in different geographies with its mobility and survivability, serves in a wide range of missions as an ideal platform for different purposes with its modular structure. It offers a solution to the survivability, protection level and mobility requirements of modern armies, suitable for today's combat conditions. Offering high combat weight and large interior volume, the ARMA family also draws attention with its low silhouette. Thanks to his amphibian kit, he can swim in water without any preparation and can travel at a speed of 8 km per hour in the sea. Armored monocoque hull structure providing high levels of ballistic and mine protection; As a modular platform that allows the integration of different types of mission equipment or weapon systems, ARMA can be used with different weapon systems from 7.62 mm to 105 mm.

TULPAR: Protector of Warriors

Named after the legendary winged horse that protected the warriors in the Manas Epic, it draws attention with its mobility, high firepower and survivability. Designed as a multi-purpose tracked vehicle with the potential to expand between 28000 kg and 45000 kg to meet future requirements, TULPAR's modular design approach enables the use of common body structure and common subsystems for different configurations. The ability of TULPAR to operate different vehicle configurations with common subsystems increases its flexibility of use.

Tested in the harshest climatic conditions and harsh terrain conditions, TULPAR has the best ballistic and mine protection in its class with its modular armor technology and armor structure that can be configured and scaled according to threats. While it offers an effective solution to missions requiring high fire and destructive power up to 105 mm, thanks to its superior mobility, it can operate in all kinds of combat environments, from residential areas with narrow streets and light bridges to wooded areas, in terrain conditions where Main Battle Tanks cannot operate due to their weight. At the Otokar stand at SAHA Expo, which will last for 4 days, visitors will have the opportunity to closely examine TULPAR, which is exhibited with its 30 mm Spear tower system.

SCORPIO II Answers All Needs of Modern Armies

Designed based on the AKREP armored vehicle family, which was developed by Otokar in 1995 and has proven itself in the domestic and export markets, AKREP II is used as an armored reconnaissance, surveillance and weapons platform. The vehicle, which was first introduced as an electric and then a diesel version at IDEF 2021, allows the use of alternative power sources. SCORPIO II offers low silhouette, high mine protection and effective fire power on the same platform. AKREP II's four-wheel drive system and optional steering rear axle offer the vehicle a unique maneuverability. SCORPIO II's mobility is maximized with the crab movement provided by its steering rear axle. In AKREP II, the main mechanical components of systems such as steering, acceleration and braking are controlled electrically (drive-by-wire). This feature enables remote control of the vehicle, adaptation of driving support systems and autonomous driving. Developed to be adaptable to many different mission profiles, AKREP II can take part in tasks such as surveillance, armored reconnaissance, air defense and forward surveillance, as well as different missions such as fire support vehicle, air defense vehicle and anti-tank vehicle.

COBRA II Ambulance in the Field

Different The armored emergency response ambulance of COBRA II, a modular platform suitable for missions, can also be examined at SAHA Expo. While COBRA II Ambulance offers a high level of terrain capability under mine and ballistic protection, it can perform all interventions that can be done with a standard emergency ambulance. With its light weight, the COBRA II Ambulance showed high performance even on different surfaces such as mud and mud, allowing it to enter the battlefield and perform injured rescue and emergency response duties in the dangerous area. In order to serve as an ambulance, the height and width of the standard COBRA II were increased in accordance with the ambulance duty and a large interior volume was provided. The rear door was specially designed as a ramp door for ambulance use. While many functions related to the ambulance section of the vehicle can be controlled from the rear by medical personnel; The front and rear compartments can be separated if desired. COBRA II Ambulance has two different configurations that can accommodate "2 sitting and 1 lying" or "2 lying" patients, in addition to the driver, commander and medical personnel.
