ARES 76 CORVETTE
ARES 76 CORVETTE is a unique option for those seeking to safeguard their international rights and interests outside of local law enforcement entities’ responsibilities within their exclusive economic zones or in the international waters.
ARES 76 CORVETTE is equipped with comprehensive combat systems with electronics and weapons, most of which the Turkish industry developed. With a compact combat management system (CMS) integrated with a capable TDL, the new Corvette will feature a sensor suite including a multi-function 3D-4D radar, Aselsan SeaEye series EOS (Electro-Optic System), and EW suites. The new platform can control unmanned platforms including both lightweight and fully outfitted VTOL (vertical take-off landing) unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) as well as the family of ULAQ unmanned surface vessels (USVs), the latter being deployed and recovered from a stern station.
The corvette is fitted with an ASuW suite including an MKE 76 mm main gun, four or optionally eight Atmaca anti-ship cruise missiles, and two 12.7 mm remote weapon stations. The platform is equipped with self-air-defense capabilities centered on a short-range guided missile air defense system alongside MKE decoy launchers.
One of the main features that sets the ARES 76 CORVETTE apart from other similar-sized vessels is its payload versatility for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) concept. Four (4) Orka Lightweight Torpedoes and a six-launcher ASW Rocket System from ROKETSAN can eliminate subsea threats identified by METEKSAN's YAKAMOS Hull Mounted/RT sonar solutions. Notable supporting sensors and electronic systems are the XBT Launching System and the Underwater Telephone.
