Is this Twitter account reliable?

Depends on what they're reporting. It's clear an Akp fan.

Domestic Wide Area Surveillance Solution of Our Domestic Aircraft: MİLSAR​

---

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have significantly changed the way the armed forces fight, especially against asymmetric threats. This change mostly continues with the increase in the capabilities of the payloads of the UAVs. Operating in the field of sensors, our Company offers advanced radar technologies to tactical class and higher segment UAVs with the new member of the weather radar family, MILSAR.

MILSAR is a multifunctional radar with synthetic aperture (Synthetic Aperture Radar / SAR) and moving target detection (Ground Moving Target Indicator / GMTI) modes. SAR and GMTI capable radars are indispensable sensors for reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft and satellites, as they can continue to provide high resolution images even in weather conditions where electro-optical sensors are ineffective. The GMTI feature comes into play by reducing the detection time with electro-optical sensors, which is one of the main reasons why UAVs stay in the air for hours, and by detecting activities of interest in a shorter time. However, the size, weight and power consumption needs of these radars generally prevent their use in small-sized UAVs. At this point, MİLSAR; thanks to its size, weight, 360-degree scanning and power consumption features,

MILSAR Instead of Electro-Optical Sensor

The dimensions and architecture of MILSAR have been determined in a way that allows the radar to be installed in place of the electro-optical payloads commonly used in UAVs. It has the same mechanical interface as the MILSAR standard 15” EO/IR sensor turret. In this way, the electro-optical payload can be easily removed and replaced with MILSAR. On the other hand, it emerges as an important alternative that can replace and support EO/IR cameras in cases where EO/IR cameras are limited, such as the need to not lose resolution in viewing from long distances and to perform wide area surveillance in high resolution.

All the components of MILSAR are integrated in a single unit. This compact structure and compatibility with the size and weight of existing electro-optical sensors greatly facilitate the integration of the radar into different UAVs. When 360-degree scanning is desired with phased array SAR/GMTI radars, radar must be installed in many parts of the platform. This negatively affects the airtime and payload capacity of the UAV. Instead of phased array SAR/GMTI radars, which have costs comparable to those of tactical-level unmanned aerial vehicle platforms, 360-degree scanning and cost-effective solutions seem to fill an important gap in the SAR/GMTI radar segmentation. MILSAR was designed with these constraints in mind. MİLSAR, its weight of 30 kg,

One of the capabilities that MILSAR has brought to the UAVs is the opportunity to observe independent of weather conditions. With its SAR feature, MİLSAR creates high resolution images independent of distance. Like other SAR systems, MILSAR can operate in either strip or spot modes. In strip mode, the radar produces images with a resolution of 1 m and can display them fluently to the operator, like a video image. The bandwidth required for the transmission of images to the ground station is also compatible with existing UAV data links. When Meteksan Defense's newly developed C-Band Data Link is used, the bandwidth that can be allocated increases even more.

In spot mode, MILSAR can create an image of the target area with a resolution of 30 cm. These images are mostly used for intelligence purposes. Meteksan Defense is also working on “Coherent Change Detection” with Bilkent University. This feature is used to compare the current images with the previously taken images and to reveal the changes. Thus, for example, the presence of a hand-made explosive planted by terrorists can be detected.

MILSAR can produce images itself during the mission and prepare them for display to the operator. The system includes an image processing software on the ground. Change Detection Feature will run on this software.

Thanks to its GMTI feature, MILSAR can also track targets on the ground and thus has the potential to be used as a fire control radar. However, images from the electro-optical sensor are needed for positive identification of the target. The system will also have the optional modes DMTI (Dismounted Moving Target Indication / Separated Moving Target Detection) for tracking individual targets and MMTI (Maritime Moving Target Indication / Marine Moving Target Detection) for marine targets.

He is a notoriously unreliable Pro-AKP troll that will sprout bullshit for the sake of trying to safe face for the failing policies of Erdogan. He is a dumbass of the highest grade. Here is one of his recent gems.

for now only 2 drone to be compared. The differents will be KizilElma will be a naval version.

If my eyes are not mistaken, approximately over 1.5 tons of weapon load shown on the AKINCI model. SOM-J under fuselage, and I think there are 4 MK-82 with TEBER kits on the wings. On the outer pylons, ammunition is displayed between 1-1.5 meters, i think.

If AKINCI developments make it possible to lift around 2 tons of ammunition in the near future, it will take an enormous load off the jets of the air force.

There are two different SAR solutions for Tactical-MALE UAVs. One is Meteksan's MILSAR with radome that can be used instead of CATS. Other one is Aselsan AESA SAR pod.
