BREAKING NEWS
POYRAZ is designed to transform the ammunition resupply chain in modern land operations through automation and digitalization. Conventional ammunition resupply relies heavily on manual labor, which increases time consumption, error probability, and personnel exposure. POYRAZ addresses these challenges by delivering a highly automated, traceable, and secure ammunition transfer capability.
Operational Purpose and Role
The primary mission of POYRAZ is to ensure fast, safe, and accurately recorded transfer of ammunition to artillery systems and combat platforms. During high-tempo fire support operations, uninterrupted ammunition resupply is essential to sustain combat effectiveness. POYRAZ directly supports continuous fire capability by minimizing resupply downtime.
Doctrine and Concept of Use
POYRAZ is optimized for artillery units, armored formations, and forward-deployed fire support elements. The system is fully mobile, capable of moving with maneuver units and conducting resupply operations shortly after deployment. It aligns with modern digital logistics and network-enabled warfare doctrines, enabling remote monitoring of ammunition stocks by higher-echelon commands.
Platform Architecture
The system architecture consists of four main layers:
Precision, Speed, and Reaction Time
POYRAZ can store up to 96 rounds and propellant charges. It is capable of transferring 48 rounds and charges in under 20 minutes. Servo-controlled automation ensures precise alignment and minimizes human-induced loading errors.
Integration and System Ecosystem
The system can operate in conjunction with tactical radios, digital maps, and military command-and-control networks. Its scalable and modular architecture allows integration of new ammunition types with minimal hardware and software adaptation.
