Ulak project is developed by TUSAS engineers and executed with 1st Air Supply Maintenance Center Command(1st ASMC) in accordance with the operational requirements and needs of TuAF.
Ulak project is performed with support of Air Logistics Command and Ministry of Defence Undersecreteriat for Defense Industries.
The aim of the ULAK Project is to implement digital data communications using IDM(Improved Data Modem) within a prototype application on F-4E/2020 and F-5B/2000 aircraft, thus providing a basis for evaluation of the system effectiveness and technical maturity.

Das ULAK Programm, das von Tusas Ingeneuren entwickelt wurde sieht vor F-5/2000 Kampflugzeuge/trainer mit einem Datenlinkmodem auszurüsten das in Echtzeit Zieldaten vom EL/M-2032 Radar der F-4E/2020 erhält. Die F-5/2000 Kampflugzeuge/Trainer der türkischen Luftwaffe verfügen über kein eigenes Bordradar, sondern über einen Radaremulator der das APG-68 Radar für Trainingszwecke emuliert. Das Datenlinkmodem überträgt Luft-Luft und Luft-Boden Zieldaten in Echtzeit zu den F-5/2000 Kampflugzeugen, was ihren Kampfwert unter realistischen bedrohungsszenarien steigert.
Zitat:TURKEY WANTS TO UPGRADE LEOPARD-2Quelle: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.menewsline.com/stories/2005/march/03_01_4.html">http://www.menewsline.com/stories/2005/ ... _01_4.html</a><!-- m -->
ANKARA [MENL] -- Turkey plans to upgrade surplus Leopard-2A4 main battle tanks from Germany.
Officials said the Leopard-2A4 would undergo several modifications to enhance the capabilities of the tank. They said the focus would be an upgrade of the Leopard-2's fire control system.
Turkey has sought to purchase at least 200 Leopard-2A4 main battle tanks in a first stage. Officials said a total of 400 such tanks could be purchased by the end of the decade. The Leopard-2 has been manufactured by Krauss-Maffei Wegeman.
Germany has not formally decided on the sale of the Leopard-2A4 to Turkey. In November 2004, German Defense Minister Peter Struck visited Ankara where he discussed the Leopard-2 tank sale. Struck said he favored such a sale, but would not elaborate.
