The Distance Horizon project is one of the ongoing large-scale projects of Turkish Navy. It is designed to meet the needs introduced in the Information Age. Its main goal is to assemble, manage and disseminate the Recognized Maritime Picture (RMP) in surrounding seas to improve the situational awareness of maritime domain and to achieve a greater degree of self-synchronization.

Turkey has a long coastal line. In order to assemble a comprehensive RMP, our area of interest is divided into 3 regions: (1) Black Sea Region (including the Marmara Sea), (2) Agean Sea Region, (3) Mediterranean Sea Region. The RMP is assembled for each region separately. Each region consists of enough number of Surveillance Sites to provide a full-sensor coverage. There exists one Data Fusion Center (or Surveillance Coordination Center) for each region. Information gathered by the surveillance sites is first processed locally and then transferred to DFC for further processing.

Integrated Maritime Surveillance System (IMSS), provides Recognized Maritime Picture (RMP) in the surrounding waters by means of land-based microwave Radars and ESM systems.

HF radars, part of the project were finished in April 2008.

They'll make a 24-hour image of surrounding Sea.
And if an enemy ship achieves to "escape" sea-blockade which the submarines enforce, the enemy vessels will be hit with Cruise-Missiles with the data from Distant Horizon.

Pravda: Turkey's defense power grows at pace to be envied

Turkey's defense power grows at pace to be envied - pravda.ru

The efforts of the Turkish defense industry are aimed at developing and building their own aircraft, armored vehicles, tanks, and various electronics and missile weapons. Turkish Aerospace Industries Company is engaged in the development and manufacture of aircraft under license. The objective of this venture is the creation of unmanned aerial vehicles.

It is important to note that most of the products produced by Turkish military companies are purchased by the national armed forces, and purchase volumes are constantly increasing.

Now the Turks are actively "courting" the representatives of Muslim, particularly the Turkic peoples of Russia. Turkey is seeking to increase its influence in the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Crimea. Finally, the Turkish army is one of the pillars of NATO.

Today, Russia should pay special attention to its southern borders, where the powerful Turkish army is located.
