Turkish defense company Havelsan was showcasing its ADVENT combat management system (CMS) at DIMDEX 2024 in Doha, Qatar. The system will be fitted aboard a new class of Fast Attack Craft (FAC) built by Dearsan shipyard for the Qatar Emiri Naval Forces.

ADVENT is a new-generation command and control system that addresses the needs of a force-oriented, network-enabled operational approach rather than a single ship. Through all operator consoles, it is possible to access tactical data link functions (Link 11, Link 16 and Link 22, SIMPLE, JREAP and VMF), which are fully integrated into the system. With its decision support systems, ADVENT has an architecture that facilitates the rapid and correct decision-making process of its user and provides a flexible structure when deploying new weapons and sensors. It was developed in a modular structure that fits multitasking profiles and other platform types.

ADVENT is a platform-independent system. With its scalable, open architecture structure, it can be adapted to surface, underwater, and air platforms, as well as landing facilities. This CMS has proven itself by successfully completing Sea Acceptance Tests TCG KINALIADA, TCG UFUK and TCG BEYKOZ and will be deployed on these platforms. ADVENT will also be deployed as CMS on the MILGEM-class corvette TCG BURGAZADA, the Turkish Navy’s future fleet replenishment tanker TCG DERYA, the Landing Helicopter Dock TCG ANADOLU, the Barbaros-class frigates and the lead ship of the I-class frigates TCG ISTANBUL, and on Pakistani, Ukrainian, Malaysian, Indonesian and Qatari vessels.
