TRANÇA is a 20 meter, approximately 80 ton vehicle with a 400 mile underwater range. It uses technologies developed in Türkiye for submarines. It will be able to have sonars produced by our domestic defense industry companies. In addition to the ability to launch Akya, Sub-Atmaca, Malaman Mine, it will be able to carry 6 underwater assault commando in dry deck. With the advantage of its small size, it can be lowered into the water at any time by crane from hangars on land or ships without the need for permanent submariner employment in overseas countries.
