BMC’s KIRPI II MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle was displayed in İzmir with an integrated robotic arm. KIRPI I MRAP was also displayed with a robotic arm. Nurol Makina’s Ejder Yalçın vehicle was also unveiled in 2016 with ASELSAN’s ETİ (Handmade Explosive Detection and Inspection System). However, neither vehicle were ordered by the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) or any other user.
The robotic arm in the image matches the Jammer layout of the integrated KIRPI II and the other KIRPI IIs used by the TSK. Besides, the robotic arm in the image is similar to the integrated ASELSAN ETİ system.
