Turkish UAV/UCAV Projects

[MMM-E]

Bayraktar TB3 UCAV completed its first take-off and landing tests from the TCG ANADOLU.




The next is KIZILELMA unmanned stealth Fighter Jet

a giant step for us but nothing for humanity!

TCG ANADOLU will be capable to house up to 80 UCAVs


80 TB-3 UCAVs can carry 320 guided munitions with range of 16-25-50-150 km


TB-3 UCAV

Length : 8,3
Wing span : 14 m
MTOW : 1.600 kg
Payload capacity : 280 kg
Service ceiling : 25.000 feet
Endurance : 21+ hours

Bayraktar TB3 UCAV has been designed for short takeoff and landing from ships like TCG ANADOLU


TB-3 armed with advanced weapons
-- 16 km MAM-L laser guided munition
-- 25 km MAM-L IIR guided munition
-- 30 km MAM-T laser guided munition
-- 50 km MAM-T IIR guided munition
-- 150 km KEMANKES mini Cruise Missile

Here is how UAVs will be recovered aboard TCG Anadolu - Naval News

The Chief Technology Officer of Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar Technologies gave details on the takeoff and landing operations of BAYRAKTAR KIZILELMA (or MIUS), an unmanned fighter aircraft presently in development, aboard Turkey's planned landing helicopter dock (LHD) Anadolu.

First in history, a drone like TB3 landing on LHD not AC but LHD. This is real difficult to achieve, next step KE. Congrate tor Turkiye and TB2 team.

TB-3 UCAV is full of indigenous including E/O System and Engine


Aselsan ASELFLIR-500 E/O System
(The world's best EO/IR/LD camera in its class)

-- Human detection from 20+ km
-- Tank detection from 80 km
-- Maximum 35 km target marking range

-- More precise marking of more distant targets
(Precise hitting even smaller moving targets at a greater distance)

-- Better day/thermal/SWIR imaging


TEI PD-170 Engine .... ( best in class altitude performance )


Advanced Weapon KEMANKES

Communication Range : 100 km
Operational Range : 150 km
Terminal Guidance : AI Assisted EO Camera

KEMANKES-1 is a mini intelligent cruise missile operates autonomously with an artificial intelligence-supported autopilot system

It is durable against any attempts of electronic jamming due to its Anti-jamming capabilities

The Artificial Intelligence Assisted Optical Guidance System delivers the ability to identify and engage targets with pinpoint accuracy,

I think the South Koreans might have tested the Mojave off their Amphibious assault ship ROKS Dokdo a few days ago.

The latest iteration of the General Atomics family of short takeoff and landing drones went to sea aboard the South Korean amphibious assault ship Dokdo. The latest iteration of the General Atomics family of short takeoff and landing drones went to sea aboard the South Korean amphibious assault...

Still quite impressive though, I suspect Baykar may have more simulation time than them, and the project might be faster for turkey in terms of operationalizing b/c of the priority given, vs other countries.

S.Korea only conducted a takeoff test .. but not landing
Turkiye conducted both takeoff and landing tests

the width of the flight deck of the ROKS Dokdo is currently limiting the MOJAVE Drone from landing, therefore the test was replaced with simulated landing procedures



also MOJAVE Drone is not S.Korean technology .. Its American technology

TB3 will be a deadly drone, it can carry 280kg load. Kemankes weights 30kg, at least 4 should not be a problem. Imagine DEAD mission taking off from TCG Anadolu hunting Airdefence systems. A x country in the Mediterranean Sea bitching. TCG Anadolu protected by 2 I class and 1 Yavuz class. 2 Reis class submarine gathering intel front.

TCG ANADOLU can carry 80 UCAVs to operate in Libya if needed


Game changer and cost effective solution

is air defense active on the ship? I can't remember if its been integrated.
