The first firing test with the Roketsan OMTAS missile from moving PARS and KAPLAN ATV vehicles developed by FNSS was carried out successfully, as part of the Anti-Tank Vehicle (ATV) project. The Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) announced the firing test from its official social media account, stating, “Within the scope of the ATV Project, the first target was successfully hit with an OMTAS missile fired from a moving vehicle. The qualification tests are expected to be completed by the end of this year, and delivery will begin by 2020. Under the project, a total of 260 vehicles will be delivered.”

Within the scope of the ATV Project, the OMTAS missile was launched from the Anti-Tank Remote Controlled Turret (ARCT) integrated into the tracked KAPLAN ATV vehicle during the previous test and successfully hit a moving target on April 6, 2019.
