Turkey's national missile OMTAS bolsters security

Turkey has been strengthening its defense industry with the research and development of high-technological defense industry products; such as nationally-produced missiles, tanks and other.

One of the latest example of the efforts of Turkey, which aims to be independent in terms of external dependence in the defense industry, is OMTAS, a surface-to-surface anti-tank missile system developed by Roketsan.

The OMTAS anti-tank missile is fitted with an infrared sensor head which has a range of 4 km to be used against armored targets, complete with locking in before/after firing and fire-forget/ fire –update modes.

The OMTAS, developed by Roketsan for infantry units, is a surface-to-surface anti-tank missile system that utilizes advanced technology; therefore, it is effective against all armored threats in the field.

OMTAS, with its 4-km maximum range and 200-m minimum range, can function in all weather conditions, day and night.

OMTAS, which can be used in fire-forget and fire-update modes, with the elasticity provided by its target update capability, offers possibilities to fire in covered position, to fire at targets behind cover, to point precisely and to evaluate the effectiveness of the hit, and can be used against fixed and moving targets.
