Turkish naval solutions provider STM unveiled the final design of the National Fast Attack Craft (FAC) during the IDEF 2025 defense industry exhibition, held in Istanbul from July 22 to 27, 2025.
=====================
The National FAC project aims to build modern FACs to replace the aging Dogan- and Ruzgar-class FACs that have been in service with the Turkish Navy for decades. The contract for the design phase of the FACs was signed between SSB and STM on August 31, 2020. After an extensive conceptual and detailed design work in collaboration with the Turkish Navy, STM unveiled the mockup of the final design at IDEF 2025 defence industry fair.
Naval News has learned that the National FAC will be built with a high level of indigenization, with nearly all of its sensors and weapon systems supplied by Turkish defense companies. The vessel’s main punch capability will come from Roketsan’s ATMACA surface-to-surface missiles, MKE’s 76 mm DENİZHAN naval gun will serve as the ship’s main gun. For close-in defense, the FAC will be equipped with a Point Defense Missile System (PDMS)—either Roketsan’s LEVENT or Aselsan’s GÖKSUR. The ship will also be fitted with two 12.7 mm remote weapon stations.
