GMKA Defense specializes in weapon systems for light and medium armored vehicles. GMKA, being both the integrator and designer of weapons systems, equips armored vehicles and stationary platforms with special firepower systems. Independent of all vehicle manufacturers, we offer integrated solutions that make it a reliable partner of the modern armed forces alongside the technical and operational excellence of the equipment.
As GMKA Defense, we provide motion control and electronic solutions for military vehicles and equipment. We provide efficient systems and subsystems with more precise turret control, faster ammunition handling and user-friendly controls, sustainability, innovation, personnel protection, proven technologies, customization capabilities, and lower operating-maintenance costs.
TURRET STABILIZATION AND FIRE CONTROL
We design and manufacture multi-axis controllers, linear-rotary height actuators, and rotary azimuth actuators for precision turret control, stabilization, and ammunition handling. With these solutions, we aim to meet the demanding requirements of many combat vehicle control applications.
They are carefully developed to integrate future innovations and upgrades, considering the current and anticipated threats facing the modern armed forces. These include new ammunition, new technological advances, and new security systems.
GMKA Defense is on its way to becoming the undisputed technological leader in multi-functional, high-powered weapon systems for light and medium-weight armored vehicles, thanks to its range of intelligent fixed/mobile weapon technologies. It relies on its expertise in software, ballistics, and mechatronics engineering to design and integrate turret systems for the full 7.62mm to 120mm caliber range.
GMKA also offers highly advanced simulation systems applicable to all weapon systems and technical and tactical assistance to optimize their integrated logistics. It also provides advice and support throughout the life cycle of its equipment: training, maintenance, on-site and remote technical assistance, modernization, documentation, spare parts, tools, etc.
Always at the cutting edge of innovation in smart weapon technologies, it anticipates the increasingly diverse requirements to help improve the operational response, flexibility, and efficiency of modern, highly mobile, armed forces.
It has developed embedded and PC-based simulation systems to provide customized training solutions for military requirements covering basic exercise, operational and tactical levels.
GMKA designs, manufactures, integrates, and upgrades weapon systems for all 7.62mm to 120mm calibers. The weapon systems combine successful firepower and lightweight, guaranteeing both performance and protection as well as air portability. These modular systems are designed to evolve according to the needs of their users at a reasonable cost.
GMKA Defense constantly innovates to anticipate the growing and evolving needs of armies in terms of polyvalence and mobility.
The strength of our innovation is to realize all of these innovations with a common goal, to continuously improve the capabilities of weapon systems at the same step as the high-level operational characteristics of their users.
Some of our important innovation efforts:
– Particularly modularity of weapon systems
– Situational awareness and indirect firing capabilities
– Ability to integrate data from drones
– Development of simulation and training solutions
– Integration of detection and destruction defense systems
It designs, develops, integrates, deploys and supports military simulation solutions for weapon systems and vehicles. Develops and conducts training for turret and combat systems operators and maintenance technicians of all maintenance levels.
From generic simulators…
General virtual simulators designed for shooting training are based on the concept of immersion in a virtual cockpit. This training is for crew (commander, gunner) or driver. The simulators are adaptable and can accommodate several systems. A simulator can switch from one weapon system to another. Thus, a single simulator allows training on several systems.
…to built-in simulators
With built-in operational training solutions, the real vehicle or real turret can become a simulator. The simulation system is connected to the physical equipment in a hangar and the crew is trained in its real environment using the existing controls.
OPERATOR-INTERACTIVE STABILIZED SYSTEMS
Some weapon systems require the visual and physical capabilities of the user to be integrated onto the platform. Remote-controlled weapon systems are not a suitable solution for small boats due to the size of their footprint on the platform, their cost, and the limited situational awareness they offer to operators. Similarly, window, door, and ramp weapons integrated into helicopters need the visual and physical capabilities of the operator. We offer solutions on such platforms. We provide mechatronic system solutions that turn the weapon into a weightless structure for these applications.
While the operator continues to hold, direct, and aim the weapon, the solutions we offer ensure that the operator does not feel the weight or the effects of the platform in all these processes. With capabilities such as stabilization and ballistic calculation, our products enable the weapon to be used much more effectively and make the platform it is integrated into much more capable.
REMOTE CONTROLLED STABILIZED WEAPON SYSTEMS
We offer weapon system solutions to support operators at every stage of the process, from target detection to firing. Our remote-controlled stabilized weapon systems provide smart support solutions that eliminate the need for personnel other than an operator to make the final decision. In this context, our systems can
• find targets using electro-optical sensors.
• track the targets selected by the operator.
• with ballistic calculations, direct these targets to be under fire.
• engage the target with the approval of the operator.
