In order to meet the amphibious armored vehicle needs of the Turkish Naval Forces Command (DzKK), the deliveries of the vehicles developed within the scope of the Armored Amphibious Assault Vehicle (ZAHA) Project, whose procurement activities are carried out by the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), to the Naval Forces Command Amphibious Infantry Brigade have begun. Within the scope of the project, a total of 23 vehicles will be delivered, including 2 personnel carriers, 2 command and control vehicles and 27 rescue vehicles developed by FNSS.
Having higher ballistic and mine protection compared to its counterparts, ZAHA is equipped with today's most advanced mission equipment. In the project, domestic and national resources were used for the supply of subsystems such as communication systems with the in-vehicle and other vehicles, and communication systems with the LHD class TCG Anadolu ship, and many sub-systems were localized within the scope of the project. ZAHA,
• Number of personnel to be transported in the vehicle,
• Ballistic and mine protection levels
• Remote controlled weapon system and
• It outperforms its peers in the fields of performance criteria to be met on land and in water.
Within the scope of the project, the ÇAKA Remote Controlled Tower (UKK), which was designed and produced specifically for ZAHA by FNSS, and which was under the command of our marines and was the striking force of ZAHA, takes its name from the great Turkish sailor Çaka Bey.
Being the fastest amphibious vehicle owned by our Armed Forces, ZAHA has all the features and capabilities that both a military land vehicle and a military sea vehicle should have, by balancing the land and sea requirements.
FNSS broke new ground with the ZAHA, which is the first and only personnel carrier vehicle in the inventory of our Armed Forces, designed for both sea and land, as well as the first and only domestic amphibious vehicle capable of self-correcting in case of capsizing and operating in harsh sea conditions. is happening.
