Turkish Company FNSS develops its wide range of indigenously designed tracked and wheeled vehicles and weapon systems at its own R&D Centre, and using its own engineering experience. FNSS also holds the AQAP-2010, which is the highest level of quality assurance certification from NATO, and has been awarded BVQI quality certification ISO 9001-2008.

With production facilities in two overseas countries, more than 200 local subcontractors, and more than 4,000 armored combat vehicles used by various countries worldwide, FNSS stands today as one of the world’s leading companies in its field.

FNSS Defence Systems unveiled its new-generation, tracked armored fighting vehicle (AFV), KAPLAN at the International Defence Industry Fair IDEF 2015 held in Istanbul, Turkey, in May 2015. The KAPLAN-20 AFV is offered in armored personnel carrier (APC) and turreted versions. It can be deployed in special operations, full-spectrum conflicts, reconnaissance, independent infantry operations, and mechanized/ armored infantry operations.

The KAPLAN family also includes the KAPLAN MT (Medium Tank), which was developed for Indonesia, offering state of the art modern technology platform with superior firepower supported with battlefield management and laser warning systems, providing tactical awareness to the commander. The KAPLAN MT provides high ballistic and mine protection compared to its weight class. The tank guarantees the required fire support against battlefield threats with an exceptional speed of response, providing superior survivability and mobility on the battlefield.

The PARS III is the new generation wheeled armored combat vehicle (WACV) designed and developed by FNSS Savunma Sistemleri A.Ş. PARS III has been developed with a special emphasis on mobility, protection, payload and growth potential. The vehicles employ the latest designs and technologies with a focus on the performance and durability of modern military operational requirements. The vehicles are available in 4X4, 6X6 and 8X8 configurations. The “PARS” family of vehicles takes its name from the “Anatolian Leopard”.

IDEF 2019: FNSS showcases Pars 8×8 engineering vehicle

FNSS revealed its combat engineering variant of the Pars III 8×8 armoured vehicle, which was developed specifically to meet the requirements of Oman, at the 2019 IDEF exhibition.

The vehicle is undergoing qualification tests for Oman and is expected to complete all testing by mid-2019, at which point deliveries are expected to commence.

The contract with Oman covers delivery of 172 Pars III vehicles in 13 configurations. Of those vehicles, 145 will be based on the 8×8, and the remaining 27 on the 6×6 variants.

The contract for the combat engineering variant covers eight vehicles. It is designed to perform a number of combat engineering operations including mine clearance, obstacle clearance, obstacle creation, and constructing bases and defences. It is crewed by a driver/operator, commander, gunner, and four dismounts. The vehicle is based on the standard 8×8 Pars III.

FNSS has worked in collaboration with UK-based Pearson Engineering to develop and integrate mission-specific equipment onto the vehicle, which is designed to be rapidly dismounted and swapped for other systems as the situation dictates.

The engineering functionality is provided by a Pearson Universal Connection Kit (Jettison Kit) that is fitted to the front of the vehicle. The Jettison Kit employs existing Pearson technology to enable the rapid changing of attachments, but is customised to fit the Pars III. Gökhan Tekin, Oman Pars III WAV programme manager, explained that the front attachment can be changed in five minutes by a single crew member - using the vehicle to move from attachment to attachment, and no specialist tools or crane are required. He added that this can be reduced to four minutes with two crew members.
