Turkish Unmanned Vehicle Programs

[Saithan]

Clear indicator that UAV are making an impact on how many times our planes needs to take action. But why haven't they shown our own UAV's as well. I remember reading somewhere that Baykar UAV had accumulated some 40.000+ hours of flight.

DUBAI: Vestel Karayel keeps an eye out, ready to strike

Turkish company Vestel Defence Industry’s Karayel unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is making a striking statement in the halls at the Dubai air show.

On display is the Karayel-SU, which is the latest of a four-variant family of the tactical UAVs. Compared with the baseline Karayel, the new variant has an additional 2.5m wingspan and a total of four under-wing hardpoints.

At Dubai, the aircraft is being displayed with representative Roketsan MAM-L and MAM-C munitions on the hardpoints.

Vestel says that even with a full payload of 120kg on the four hardpoints, the aircraft can still carry a 50kg electro-optical/IR payload in its fuselage bay. It can also carry laser range finders, designators and pointer payloads.

The Karayel-Su’s endurance ranges from 20 hours without munitions to eight hours with a full weapons load. Its operating altitude is 18,000ft, and it has a datalink range of more than 150km.

Vestel adds that it is scouting for exports of the unmanned platform, and looking for a wide range of collaborative partners.

Well done to Vestel. But the low altitude and short time in air with payload is a clear indicator that it's meant for striking and returning (hoping the enemy doesn't have stinger or something). How much does a Karayel cost ?

For sure it have to be cheaper than ANKA and Bayraktar. Karayel can be one good alternative for not so rich countries that need more simple UAV with strike capabilities. Maybe the African countries. I am sure Somalia could use with pleasure a couple of those.

first, stinger cannot shoot UAVs as it has very little heat signature due its less powerful engine.
second, Stinger can go up to 4000m height but these birds mostly fly over that height and designed for that reason.

Great news!!!

The Remote Controlled Shooting Platform (UKAP), developed by Katmerciler and integrated with the SARP weapon system of Aselsan, was received with great interest in DSA, the Defense Fair held in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia's largest Defense Industry Company DEFTECH - DRB-HICOM Defense Technology Sdn Bhd and ASELSAN signed a cooperation agreement in the areas of Unmanned Land Vehicles, Robotics, Land Vehicles Modernization Program and Remote Control Weapons Systems.

Deftech, which recently concentrated on unmanned vehicles and robot technologies, has taken an important step with the agreement that the Malaysian army has started to build up one-third of the weapons systems in the inventory by unmanned systems and robots until 2025.

The deal includes the sale of the UKAP to the Malaysian Armed Forces and national security units, as well as the armies in the Southeast Asia region.

More than 20 Remote Controlled Shooting Platforms (UKAP) will be on the inventory of the Turkish Armed Forces in the coming days, with the ASELSAN SARP remote controlled stabilized weapons system, which Katmerciler designed and developed at its R & D center,

At the International Defense Industry Fair IDEF'17, Katmerciler, which made great strides in the defense industry in recent years, has been able to manage the distance from the UKAP last 3 km with the remote control kit, and the control distance is further increased by adding satellite control. In addition, 100-150 UKAPs can be routed to the same destination with the remote control at the same time via satellite systems.

The vehicle, which also has electric and hybrid models and can also move on difficult terrain, can climb 60% of the slopes. The operation time of UKAP is minimum 5 hours with battery and this time can be up to 8 hours with generator. Work continues to increase the speed of the vehicle, which has a speed of 25 kilometers per hour.

There can also be a discovery observation tool with thermal and moving cameras and sensors to be placed on the UKAP, which can be configured according to different needs.

In addition to mine clearance missions, the platform can be used to rescue injured people from conflict zones by building a bullet-proof chamber on top of it, which can carry military ammunition and equipment with a load-carrying capacity of around 3 tons.

Well, I'm hoping for a WH40K type of solution here. power armor and bolt guns. Cleanse the heretic with blood and fire!
