Indigenous metal mine detector OZAN delivered to Turkish Armed Forces

Designed by PDI for the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces, Foldable Metal Mine Detector OZAN was developed by TÜBİTAK BİLGEM.

TÜBİTAK BİLGEM (Centre of Research for Advanced Technologies of Informatics and Information Security) continues to lead Turkey to be strengthening while developing technologies in the defense sector. 807 Foldable Metal Mine Detectors were delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces as part of the contract for Metal Mine Detector signed between the Presidency of Defense Industries (PDI) and TÜBİTAK BİLGEM. OZAN system that is fully indigenous and unique as well as developed by engineers of TÜBİTAK, successfully completed its performance test.

Foldable Metal Mine Detector, OZAN that was developed to help Turkish soldiers to seek for mines and hand-made explosives in cross-border and intra-border transit areas quickly, easily and with high accuracy, will be one of the most important helpers of the Turkish Armed Forces in the field with its light structure, size and ability to complete its duty.

The metal density of the detected target can be easily surveilled with the graphic LCD screen on the system.

At the same time, the Foldable Metal Mine Detector OZAN system can work with full accuracy in all weather conditions, certificated by meeting the MIL-STD 810G and IP-67 environmental test standards and the MIL-STD 1472F ergonomics standard.
