As we have been witnessing the recent threat environment with multiple risks, it is clearly understood that international cooperation at all state levels is an indispensable part of the fight against terrorism.  Horror and uncertainty are vital elements of terrorist organizations to control the environment and discredit security forces. Evolving terrorist TTPs are not limited to regular attack methods, with time and location that we have been witnessing so far. More chaotic conditions are highly desired by terrorist organizations to dominate and spread fear. While security concerns exist, almost all the states not only maintain military forces for external security, but also perceives the significance and feel compelled to maintain internal security as the security environment dictates the implementation of new integrated approaches towards illicit and terrorist groups. There can be no compromise for security measures to defend and eliminate the evolving threats. International cooperation and homeland security should be considered simultaneously.  It should start beyond the borders and continue with tailored border controls and end up with integrated security measures which also require the contribution of the population and clear understanding of the terrorist approach. A brief explanation of this is to say “unite together and pinpoint possible risks before they happen.” Technological inabilities, limited state security and misperception of terrorist behavior of the governing states are also enable the threat to dominate.

Regarding this; we can anticipate that security providers will require elaborate tactics, equipment and technology in the fight against terrorism. The operational effectiveness of security forces degrades the chances of terrorist misbehavior and could prevent and neutralize several threats. The use of role-effective security equipment together with well-organized security units would be the best way to terminate or at least discredit the effectiveness of several risks.

Most of the losses of security forces even in armored vehicles have been observed as a result of IEDs, mines, homemade explosives. This situation degrades the effectiveness of security forces. Moreover integration of new mission hardware into the armored vehicles in the service against terrorist changing tactics techniques and procedures (TTPs) should be considered seriously.

The use of highly mobile, high mine & IED together with ballistic protected vehicles would be a good enhancement which can also provide growth potential in terms of extra payload and vehicle design. A common platform composed of the same or similar subsystems is a must in order to have a family of vehicles which are a more cost effective solution for state authorities to resolve recently appearing inabilities and also against terrorist changing TTPs.

Nurol Makina designs and manufactures unique and indigenous products in support of security forces by helping to maximize the efficiency against various threats.

Some of the unique and superior features that distinguish the Ejder TOMA 4X4 from its competitors are the implementation of indigenous and role capable military design chassis, compact size for better maneuverability inside urban areas and independent suspension for maximum on and off road operability by security forces.
