The commander of the Metrology Center exchanged experiences in testing optical equipment with a team of officials and engineers. (Photo taken on April 21, 2021). After “realizing the market” in a number of departments and divisions of the CLC, we gradually envisioned the mission of the center. Formerly the Center for Calibration and Metrology, established on May 29, 1981, the TTL now has the function of advising and proposing on the implementation of metrological assurance; standard keeping, maintaining traceability, and transmitting metrological standards in the military. It is worth mentioning that metrology is a specific technical specialty, while the military does not have a formal training school for metrology officers and employees. In order to solve this difficulty, the officers and employees of the CLC are given all conditions to study and improve their qualifications, from participating in metrology engineering conversion courses to postgraduate study at technical schools in Vietnam. and outside the military. As a result, up to now, the staff of CLC has more than 90% of university and postgraduate degrees, the proportion of post-graduate accounts for 40%. In addition, over the past 40 years, the center has participated in 37 training courses for metrology engineers at the Military Technical Academy, creating a core force to deploy measurement work in units throughout the army.. . At the Optical Standardization Department, Colonel Pham Chi Trung, Head of the Department shared about the department’s tasks and quality of human resources: “The department’s mission is narrow, specialized, highly dual-use, equipped with equipment. It is modern and meets the development trend of the army. Therefore, according to the general policy of the center, the training and training of human resources is very focused. Currently, more than 70% of the staff of the department. have a master’s degree”. Thanks to high-quality human resources and in-depth investment with hundreds of new standard measurement devices, TTDL has gradually improved its standard capacity and capacity for testing and calibration, including the fields of These areas have been raised to national level, such as: Radio power measurement, pressure measurement, time frequency measurement, optical measurement… In the past 5 years, the center has ensured the connection benchmarking for nearly 50,000 measuring devices of units in the whole army, many of which are difficult and high-precision measuring devices of modern straight forward units; organized more than 250 mobile tests, ensuring standard linkages for more than 3,000 standard samples, high-precision measuring devices for units in the Northern region and some units in the Central and Southern regions. With the motto “Access to the latest technology, directly serving the task of keeping standards and transmitting standards”, over the years, TTG has implemented many scientific topics, tasks, and technical improvement initiatives (Science and Technical Innovation). ) contributes to improving the efficiency and quality of performing the task of ensuring and maintaining standard links for the whole army. In addition, the center has deployed dozens of technical and technical skills every year, effectively applied in the process of performing tasks, with many initiatives winning the National Innovative Youth Award. Referring to the big goals that the center strives to accomplish, Colonel, Dr. Le Duy Quy said: The Center determines to concentrate all resources to successfully implement two breakthroughs: improving the quality of internal training. meet the requirements in the new situation; promote the application of information technology in the task of keeping and transmitting standards, management and administration. In the immediate future, it is necessary to promote research and construction, and propose to equip automatic systems in testing and calibration of measuring instruments; research and apply advanced measurement methods, evaluation and testing methods to new-generation measuring-testing and technical equipment, and at the same time improving next-generation measuring-testing equipment. old, in order to effectively serve the assigned political tasks.

Besides, this country also has a long-term product ordering strategy right from the sample research stage; to provide loans in advance, in combination with other economic and financial incentives for high-tech equipment and weapons … ATAK combat helicopters researched and developed by Turkey. Photo: Tusas.com In order to ensure the sustainability of CNQP, Turkey encourages private enterprises to participate in CNQP; promote the export of defense products; have preferential policies for private enterprises; forming business clusters; ensure the participation of universities and research institutes; enhancing the technological capacity of national industry … With such steps, as a result, the localization rate of Turkey’s VKTBKT increased from 24% in 2002 to 68.5% in 2016. The ATAK combat helicopter project is one of the prime examples of the formation of vertical specialized corporations, working horizontally together of elements in the Turkish CNQP complex, to create strategic products. In the ATAK combat helicopter project, success is achieved through the effective cooperation of government and businesses. In which, the government assigned TAI to chair; TUBITAK, Meteksan Defense and Bilkent University collaborate on the millimeter-wave radar part – an important piece of technology that determines ATAK’s Turkish origin; ASELSAN does electronic warfare; ROCKETSAN makes the rocket; Honeywell International & Rolls-Royce as the engine … It is known that Turkey currently has 3 major CNQP companies in the top 100 of the world, namely ASELSAN, TAI and ROCKETSAN, taking on the main roles for high-tech industries such as: Aerospace, rockets, and information. contact, precision weapon … In August 2020, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the country had made steady progress in the field of CNQP; can meet the needs of national defense and security. CNQP is not an area that can depend on foreign countries, he emphasized, so Turkey needs to further develop this field and produce more advanced products. It can be seen that, in a number of recent conflicts, Turkish weapons have demonstrated the superiority of tactical skills, including unmanned aircraft. In the past few years, Turkey has exported rockets, armored vehicles, artillery, warships … to Pakistan, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Azerbaijan. In 2019 alone, Turkey’s arms exports increased by 36.4% compared to 2018, reaching more than 2.7 billion USD.
