SSM was previously under the defense minister\u2019s authority. According to Decree No. 696, SSM\u2019s personnel will be appointed with the president\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/industry\/techwatch\/2018\/02\/07\/bmc-charged-with-developing-turkish-tank-engine-but-it-plans-to-surpass-expectations\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/altay-tank.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">BMC charged with developing Turkish tank engine \u2014 but it plans to surpass expectations<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">BMC\u2019s boss told a conference that the country\u2019s defense procurement agency has tasked the company with developing a locally made engine between 400 horsepower and 1,500 horsepower.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decree also authorizes the president to call for and chair SSIK\u2019s meetings. The committee\u2019s other members are the prime minister, interior minister, defense minister and chief of the military General Staff. SSM will operate the committee\u2019s secretariat. SSIK was previously chaired by the prime minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Golden Cage<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey\u2019s Iron Dome version will be dubbed the \u201cGolden Cage,\u201d according to officials. It will operate like a rapid reaction network, hitting enemy rockets and missiles at short range. It will also fire at the source of those rockets and missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey\u2019s border cities and towns have regularly been targeted by fire coming from the Syrian side of the border. On Jan. 20, Turkey launched a military incursion across the Syrian border, targeting Kurdish militias there, who Turkey considers terrorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey says its forces have so far killed nearly 1,000 terrorists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Golden Cage will be based on a capability originally developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2018\/01\/18\/turkeys-aselsan-begins-serial-production-of-missile-hunters\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"_blank\">military electronic specialist Aselsan<\/a>, Turkey\u2019s largest defense company. The system (Korkut in Turkish) will be supported by a network of short-range radars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Korkut is a self-propelled air-defense gun system designed for ground-based air defense against modern air threats. The system consists of a team of three 35mm gun systems and one command-and-control system that can operate autonomously. The system performs functions including detection, tracking, recognition, identification and destruction of the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Korkut features common mission execution with armored, mechanized troops; firing-on-the-move with a stabilized gun turret; an automatic ammunition feed and selection; a post command-coordinated operation; an automatic target tracking with fire control radar; target acquisition and tracking with electro-optic sensors; and effective air defense with advanced fire control algorithms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system can also perform common mission execution with armored, mechanized troops; target acquisition and tracking with 3-D search radar; local area air picture generation; air picture sharing with post command; advanced thread evolution and weapon assignment algorithms; post command control of air defense weapon systems; and an identification, friend or foe system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A senior military official said SSIK decided to order from Aselsan to give pace to the Golden Cage program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOperation Olive Branch [the code name for the Turkish incursion into Syria] can take several months, and we don\u2019t want to have our border towns exposed to the risk of enemy fire,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkey\u2019s Iron Dome version would operate like a rapid reaction network, hitting enemy rockets and
