TÜBİTAK BİLGEM completed the integration of the DG (DeGauss) System of the TCG ISTANBUL (F-515), the first ship of the MİLGEM I Class Frigate Project, carried out under the main contractorship of STM Inc.
Factory acceptance tests of the system were successfully carried out at TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Gebze Campus on 16-17 March 2022 with the participation of the Defense Industry Presidency (SSB) Istanbul Shipyard Command Design Project Office and STM authorities.
With the DG Systems, which is one of the most effective ways to protect against sea mines and provides dynamic magnetic trace removal on the ship, which has recently come to the agenda with the war in the Black Sea, the magnetic field of the ships is suppressed, ensuring that the mines remain within the safety limit without causing magnetic triggering during the cruise. Thus, mines are prevented from exploding and damaging the ships.
TÜBİTAK BİLGEM is currently working on the design, installation and implementation of the DG System for Offshore Patrol Ships, MILGEM Corvettes exported to Pakistan, Ukraine MiLGEM Corvette and ships exported to Turkmenistan, with its studies on magnetic mine countermeasure systems for the safety of ships for a while. continues its production activities. TÜBİTAK BİLGEM also offers the Turkish Armed Forces and exporting shipyards the ability to develop measurement and analysis infrastructures and systems with different methods for the magnetic trace management of marine elements and to activate them on platforms and bases. In this context;
- Magnetic simulation/removal unit design and production,
- Product development in military standards,
- Ship-specific D/G System design and production,
- Creating a ship magnetic model,
- Determination of ship coil locations,
- Test activities are also carried out at TÜBİTAK BİLGEM with domestic and national means.
