MLGEM PROJECT

TURKISH NATIONAL
WARSHIP PROGRAM

INTRODUCTION
The MLGEM project, from the Turkish words Milli Gemi , is a
Turkish national warship program, the purpose of which is to
build a modern littoral combat warship with indigenous antisubmarine warfare and
high-seas patrol capabilities,
extensively using the principles of stealth technology in its
design.
The corvettes of the MLGEM project are named the Ada.
The lead ship of the class, TCG Heybeliada (F-511) is named
after Heybeliada Island, where the Turkish Naval High School is
located.

DESIGN
Milgem Project Office (MPO) designed and developed the vessel
platform.
Milgem's design concept and mission profile is similar to the
littoral combat ship (LCS-1) developed by Lockheed Martin.
It features a steel hull and fragmentation resistant composite
superstructure.
The stealth hull design achieves low radar, magnetic, infrared
and acoustic signatures.

MISSIONS

Designed as a multipurpose corvette, Milgem can

be deployed in a range of missions, including
reconnaissance, surveillance, target identification,
early warning, anti-submarine warfare, surface-tosurface and surface-to-air warfare and amphibious
operations.

COMMAND & CONTROL

The Milgem Class corvette is equipped with the UNIMACS 3000 series
integrated platform management system (IPMS) developed by YALTES.
The system monitors and controls machinery, auxiliary systems, electrical
power generation and distribution.
The main systems integrated in IPMS include a power management system,
fire detection system, fire fighting and damage control system, CCTV system
and stability control system.
The YALTES combat management system (CMS) includes operator consoles
(OPCON) and tactical consoles (TACON).

AIRCRAFT HELICOPTER SYSTEM

The corvettes are equipped with an aft flight deck to allow the
operation of a S-70B-2 Seahawk helicopter.
The aircraft ship-integrated secure and traverse (ASIST)
helicopter handling and tracking system, developed by
Curtiss-Wright, will ensure the safe landing of helicopters.

COUNTERMEASURES
The Degaussing (DG) system is used as a
countermeasure to the threat of magnetic influenced
mines.
The other countermeasures include an early warning
(EW) radar, ASW jammers and Sea Sentor surface ship
torpedo defence (SSTD) system.
The SSTD system can detect and locate the incoming
torpedoes and decoy or defeat them.

PROPULSION
The corvette is equipped with a combined diesel and gas
(CODAG) propulsion system, which consists of a gasturbine and two diesel engines delivering a power of
around 30,000kW.
The propulsion system provides a maximum speed of
29kt and an economical speed of 15kt.
