SSK decides to arm the ANKA after purchase faliure of the predator.

I'd like to caution on too many UAV in the air, if the sky is full of them the PKK may find different way to operate, so I'd prefer that they're invisible in the sky and rain death upon them.

In my theory, tactical UAVs will mostly be used in defensive purposes. Operated by a battalion-size unit say, a commando battalion. It will fly over friendly forces and provide tactical avareness. If enemy elements enter 60mm mortar range, commanders will be able to take measures prior to engagement. This could reduce our casuality rate even if the unit is at a lower ground.

It will also obsolete mortar radars.

Tactical UAVs fly at a lower altitude thus making them visible to enemy ground elements. But we will fly them over our own men, not the enemy.

Unable or enable?

Enable lol

The new Armed-UAV being under development way before than this desicion, wont be a new version of ANKA but new one with powerfull turbo-prop engine (maybe two). It will be completely different design based on sucessful ANKA experiences.


New Armed UAV to be revealed into market within 3-3,5 years...

Fuselage Volume: Aprox. 1,5x bigger than Anka design
Take off Weight: 5 tonnes (Anka: 1,5 tonnes)
Payload: 1 tonnes (Anka: 200kg)
Altitude: 45000ft ( Anka: 30000ft)
Speed: 250knots (Anka: 110 knots)
Communication: SATCOM (ANKA: Datalink)


Anka 04

They should have been armed it way before americans refuse to sell us armed drones , they take decision to arm now.

 

[Vatoz]

Have you any prototype graphics?

 

[TurAr]

So what difference this and ANKA-B will have?

The right question should be what will ANKA-B have in common with the MALE variant

Trubine engine, SATCOM and weapons payload are biggest differences one could tell.

 

[Killuminati]

Still not in operation..

There was already a plan for an armed UAV with the name of ANKA-B. What i'm asking is, with this new decision, are we going to have two different armed UAV's. If so what difference they will have.

Or is this just means acceleration of the production of ANKA-B?

Okay noob question : Can the engine for this bird be derived from a longer-ranged 'Cruise Missile' ?

 

[BaybarsHan]

Communication: SATCOM

ok next problem, ne zaman firlatiyoruz ? or we have a own satellite in space ?

"The ability to team manned and unmanned systems is establishing itself as a highly desirable capability for militaries possessing higher-end platforms, and TAI is not planning to be left out of this club. Barlas said the company is looking to conduct an exercise linking Anka with the T-129 attack helicopter. Initially this would involve the transmission from the UAV to the helicopter of imagery only, but this could later expand to include control of the payload."

ANKA to T-129 data transmission. Now, Armed HALE ANKA is coming within 3 years. A deadly combination in battlefield !!!
