25 July 2023

Otokar, A Koç Group company and the global land systems manufacturer of Türkiye, showcases its world-renowned military vehicles and turret systems at IDEF ‘23, the 16th edition of the IDEF Defense Industry Fair, on July 25-28, 2023. During the 4-day fair at Tüyap Fair and Congress Center, Otokar exhibits 11 military vehicles, its turret systems and introduces ARMA 8x8 Driver Gunner Training Simulator.

Another new vehicle that Otokar showcases at IDEF ‘23 is AKREP II R, the new variant of AKREP II, which comes with a low silhouette, agility, and terrain capability. Developed as a forward reconnaissance and surveillance vehicle, AKREP II R is capable of easily performing scouting and surveillance activities in proximity to the battlefield with its low silhouette and communicating the acquired information to a command and control center thanks to the on-board battlefield management system and the satellite communication system. The reconnaissance and surveillance system is integrated into the vehicle in a way to be completely concealed when not in use, thanks to an extendable mast embedded in the body. The vehicle also features a remote-controlled weapon system, which makes it possible to engage self-protection and/or destroy the detected targets in the nearby combat zone. With CBRN protection equipment, auxiliary power group, and other aids that can be added to the 3-personnel vehicle, the vehicle personnel are able to operate on the battlefield for days. During the fair, AKREP II R 4x4 Reconnaissance and Surveillance Vehicle is displayed with Keskin Turret, and the AKREP II 4x4 Armored Reconnaissance and Surveillance Vehicle and Weapons Platform with 90mm Turret.
