Modernization

ZNT Global offers modernization of land, naval and air platforms as a prime contractor and integrator, or as a system supplier.

ZNT Global provides modernization services throughout the entire lifecycle of a given platform, from the requirement analysis stage to the out-of-inventory stage. As a consultant in this regard, ZNT approaches platforms with a fundamental inclination toward forecasting their realistic future battlefield use.

The company’s immediate objective is to produce rapid solutions in the projects of upgrading important Turkish Armed Forces platforms, as well as those of other armed forces in the region.

ZNT Global considers it important to lean heavily on the capabilities of national defense companies that already produce important solutions for Turkey, and to augment their capabilities with the existing technologies of allied countries as well as new technologies, whether developed domestically or abroad. With the foregoing as context, ZNT Global stands ready to upgrade and modernize the following systems and performance aspects of Turkey’s tanks and armored vehicles:

Fire control system.

Firepower.

Survivability.

Active Protection System (APS) — by Raytheon, as offered by ZNT Global, is a proprietary product specifically designed to provide exceptional protection for ground vehicles and rotary-wing aircraft of all sizes against current and emerging threats and tactics. No other active protection system in the world has achieved this capability.

Mobility.

Command and control systems.

For each of the above, ZNT will maintain supply contracts for subsystem changes, operating and initial backups, spare parts and periodic maintenance materials, and to maintain long-term warranty contracts under the lifecycle logistics support approach. Within the scope of the projects, ZNT will provide integrated logistics support, platform integration, crew and maintenance personnel training, and prioritization of safety and reliability factors for post-upgrade/modernization inventory acceptance testing and configuration management. ZNT will update and operate the test and evaluation plans in the areas of mobility, survivability, firepower, command and control systems and logistical supportability. ZNT will also plan armored vehicle/tank crew and maintenance personnel training, which will include training aids, simulators and virtual reality systems.

ZNT Global stands especially prepared to provide modernization solutions for countries that use the M60 A3 Tank, to include a wide variety of alternatives according to their respective requirements:

Solutions against classical threats.

Solutions against insurgent threats.

Hybrid solutions.
