Turkiye’s new navalized Unmanned Combat Aerial System (UCAS), Bayraktar TB3, completed its maiden flight last week marking a significant milestone for the country’s defense industry.

The aerospace and defense tech giant Baykar announced that the TB3 made its first successful flight on October 27, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic on October 29. This development is particularly significant because the TB3 is destined to serve with TCG Anadolu (L-400) class aircraft carrier, which is also dubbed the world’s first drone carrier.

TB3 completed its second flight on November 1. The flight lasted for four hours, Selcuk Bayraktar, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Baykar Technologies, announced.

Destined for the Sea​

Bayraktar TB3 UCAS has been designed to operate from Turkiye’s aircraft carrier, featuring short landing and takeoff capability and foldable wings for efficient storage inside the carrier’s hull. The ship’s air wing will also consist of Baykar’s jet engine-powered UCAS dubbed Kizilelma, which has been designed as per the “Man-Machine Teaming” concept.

Once the TCG Anadolu air wing becomes operational, the TB3 and Kizilelma will “revolutionize the history of warfare – just like our UCAS,” Selcuk Bayraktar said. The TB3 is a navalized version of Baykar’s globally renowned Bayraktar TB2 UAS which “helped swing conflicts in multiple countries, such as Azerbaijan and Libya, and in Ukraine,” according to the company. Turkey’s leading UAS company has signed export contracts for TB2 drones with more than thirty countries, according to Selcuk Bayraktar.

TB3 Capabilities​

The Bayraktar TB3 Unmanned Combat Aerial System (UCAS) is an impressive aircraft with dimensions of 8.35 meters in length, 2.6 meters in height, and a wingspan of 14 meters. It stands out for its extended endurance, capable of flying for more than 24 hours, with a maximum altitude of 30,000 feet.

With an anticipated operational range of 1,000 nautical miles (equivalent to 1,900km), the TB3 can be deployed to extended ranges. It possesses a maximum take-off weight of 1,450 kilograms and can accommodate a payload of up to 280 kilograms. The e TB3’s mission radius reaches an impressive 2,200km when flying at an altitude of 20,000 feet, underscoring its exceptional capabilities to operate at sea.

The TB3, is larger and heavier than the TB2, featuring six weapon stations and high-altitude capabilities. The six pylons can carry precision-guided munitions, the MAM (Smart Micro Munition) developed by Roketsan, as well as Cirit laser-guided 70 mm rockets.

TB3 key features​

• Bayraktar TB3 is a carrier-capable UCAS with a corrosion-resistant airframe and foldable wings.
• It is capable of conducting maritime Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and strike missions.
• TB3 can fly for more than 24 hours at 30,000 feet and has a higher maximum take-off weight to carry a large payload of weapons and sensors.
• It can be operated both from very remote and long distances due to its Line-Of-Sight (LOS) and Beyond-Line-Of-Sight (BLOS) communications capabilities.

Significance for Turkish Defense Industry​

In recent years, the country has emerged as a dominant force in the industry, with Baykar Technologies – and Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) at the forefront. The successful flight of the TB3 is a testament to Turkiye’s rapidly growing defense industry capabilities ranging from manufacturing UCAS to fighter jets and warships.

The deployment of TB3 and other UAS on the TCG Anadolu will give Turkey a significant military advantage in the region and boost naval strength to respond to asymmetric threats swiftly and effectively.

Would be interesting if Pakistan can use a combination of UCAV and Helicopters alongside a landing platform/drone carrier. Similar to the former HMS Ocean.

Would open up new avenues for anti piracy and contraband interdiction alongside Pakistan coastal waters.

HAVELSAN DIGITAL TROOPS: The Concept That Will Determine Outcomes Of Future Wars​

ByGlobal Defense Insight
May 18, 2023

In today’s military field, Autonomous and Robotic Systems have become indispensable elements of the battlefield due to the increase in the combat power of the owner (Force Multiplier effect) and the effects they have on the outcome of the war.

HAVELSAN‘s future vision for autonomous systems where different types of unmanned aerial, land and sea vehicles can work together has emerged as Digital Troops. The role of this vision in the near future will be the transition to a new defense concept with the discovery of unmanned battlefields. At this point, it is planned to reveal systems that can work by cooperating with each other. These systems will be able to perform tasks together autonomously, communicate with each other, reveal the best mission plan and implement this mission plan in the field.

Digital Troops is a concept where unmanned systems and soldiers can work together in battlefields. The battlefields of the future will have an important place in terms of being areas where soldiers and robots exist together. The command center will be able to make the management of the battlefield and strategic decisions in this field more accurately, thanks to the information they receive from the Digital Troops in the battlefield. All these unmanned systems are managed from a single center in the battlefield, enabling joint operations to be carried out. The Digital Troops concept, which was created by integrating modern technology into military units, ensures that the success of the units in the battlefield is increased. At this point, Digital Troops will lead the way in shaping the battlefields of the future and changing the concept of war in these areas.
HAVELSAN Digital Troops will have numerous benefits on the battlefield.

Increased safety for soldiers​

One of the most significant benefits of Digital Troops is that they will reduce the number of soldiers put in harm’s way. With unmanned systems developed by HAVELSAN, soldiers will be able to operate from a safe distance, away from the front lines of battle. This will greatly reduce the risk of injury or death from enemy fire, landmines, and other hazards of war. For example, Digital Troops elements can be used to conduct reconnaissance and surveillance, reducing the need for soldiers to be deployed to dangerous areas.

Improved efficiency and cost savings​

Digital Troops are also more efficient and cost-effective than traditional manned vehicles. They can operate for longer periods of time without the need for rest or supplies, and they do not require food, water, or medical attention. This means that armies can save money on supplies and personnel costs while also increasing the efficiency of their operations.

Enhanced capabilities and versatility​

Digital Troops offer a range of capabilities that traditional manned vehicles can not match. For example, HAVELSAN’s UAV system- BAHA can fly at high altitudes for extended periods as a swarm, providing a better view of the battlefield. Systems can also be equipped with a variety of sensors and cameras, making them ideal for reconnaissance and surveillance.

HAVELSAN’s UGV systems such as BARKAN and KAPGAN can be equipped with cutting edge techology payloads as well, and they can be used for a variety of purposes, including transporting supplies and equipment and providing support for troops on the ground in addition to strong fire support.

Increased precision and accuracy​

Unmanned Systems developed by HAVELSAN can move together with extreme precision and accuracy, making them ideal for a range of military operations. For example, BAHA can be used to define target coordinates. BARKAN and KAPGAN can also be equipped with precision-guided munitions, allowing them to hit targets with a high degree of accuracy in accordance with other members of the swarm.

Reduced risk of human error​

Human error is a common cause of accidents and mistakes in military operations. Digital Troops can help reduce the risk of human error by removing the human element from the equation. For example, BARKAN and KAPGAN can be programmed to navigate and operate autonomously, reducing the risk of accidents caused by human error.

In conclusion, HAVELSAN DIGITAL TROOPS offer a wide range of benefits to armies, including increased safety for soldiers, improved efficiency and cost savings, enhanced capabilities and versatility, increased precision and accuracy, and reduced risk of human error. As technology continues to evolve, the capabilities and benefits of Digital Troops will enhance in such a way that making them essential determinant factor of future.

HAVELSAN’s future vision for autonomous systems where different types of unmanned aerial, land and sea vehicles can work as a swarm has emerged as Digital Troops. This concept will be introduced to HAVELSAN’s visitors in LIMA 2023 which will be in Langkawi, Malaysia.
