The Minister of Science, Industry and Technology Mustafa Varank said that SOM J Cruise Missile and BOZOK Miniature UAV Munition completed their first tests with success. Congratulations!

they just mentioned that Som-j is the test for leaving the aircraft test for missile (ucakdan ayrilma)
 
Is it reasonable to design similar products (unless BOZOK has huge technical advantage), since we already have MAM-X series. Turkey has limited resources.

Good question.
The way I see it, BOZOK was designed specifically from the ground up to be used from UAVs, whereas MAM-X series are reworked missiles where weight reduction and enhancements to glide envelope were made, so as to make them UAV friendly. Not to say MAM-X series are bad bombs, they just aren't optimised for our UAVs (same goes for our UAVs that weren't originally developed to carry weapons, like AKINCI UCAV will be..)

MAM-L and MAM-C are already light weighted. They do already have optional GPS/INS guidance option on top of semi-active laser guidance. What kind of optimization does BOZOK include, specifically for UAVs? As i heard, MAM-X team is already working very close with Bayraktar TB2 team in order to improve any deficiencies faced in trials.

As far as i know MAM-L is a derivative of UMTAS and MAM-C is a derivative of Cirit. They took off their fuel and engine, made some minor alterations.

Bozok is an entirely new developed munition for our UCAVs.
 
With bozok, light segment guided ammunition family grows.

mam-c = 8kg
bozok = 16kg
mam-l =22kg

now add new class bomb for 100lb and it's perfect.
 
Mam-L: 22kg and 8+ km range
Bozok: 16kg and 9 km range

In case Bozok is lighter than Mam-L and have small wings. Do you think Bozok should go to farther distances by flying?
