An underwater target is successfully detected via a USV-launched sonobuoy. Another big achievement for our USVs.
It is said that in the last nato exercise Marlin Usv detected underwater targets in a very efficient way. I had watched in youtube. Kozan selçuk bey had commented on it.

Is it a different test?

Yes on the exercise UAV listened to a sonobuoy launched by another asset. In this test, it launched the sonobuoy itself.

Ukraine suicide usv attack on Russia navy.

So does Turkey has any program with regard to suicide usv...

It can become a cheap yet very effective just like shahed 129 drone too.

Autonomous Albatros swarm USVs controlled by Sedef/Aselsan MIR USV will be used for kamikaze purposes as well. They are now performing tasks in swarm of 8 Albatros and the number of Albatros-S USVs performing missions simultaneously in swarm formation will increase. Check the last sections of SSB introduction video where 4 Albatros are saturating the target at the end of the video

Asfat has been showing ULAQ's light platform based version in the renders and promotional videos of Phillipinese Navy's OPV project. It is strange that, nobody has noticed for months; the USV seems to have a modular deck that might either carry 2x light torpedoes or 2x Cakir, or optionally a light ASW sensor for multi-static mode and propelled by water-jet.

The bi-static mode does not require ASW to hold any processing unit, since it merely transmits a given signal and mothership uses the sonar in listening mode to analyze the reflection / scattering thus extending the effective range of sonar or concealing - spoofing location of the mothership from the submarines.

This light ULAQ variant is also offered to Coast-guard for the NG Coast guard corvette - OPV or cutter project. Turkish coast guard is highly interested in joint unmanned operations capability from a single mother ship. Ares shipyard's OPV 65 - 72 designs are created within this concept.

Novu-X is a multipurpose surface vehicle with various functions such as hydrographic inspection, bathymetric survey and surveillance. With its modular catamaran body structure, this autonomous unmanned surface vehicle can be demounted into small parts, easily transported to different areas and modified according to customer requirements.

With its small size and light weight, the vehicle can be easily transported to the field of operation and efficiently run the desired operations. Because of the vehicle is manufactured using PLA and polyethylene material, while maintaining its stability and stability during operations, it cannot easily damaged and does not require regular maintenance. The most important competitive advantage of the vehicle is its adaptable structure to the customer needs.

Due to its state-of-the-art technological infrastructure, Novu-X can meet the needs of many different customer segments, such as port operators, dredging companies, shipyards, marinas, municipalities, dams, ship owners, class organizations. Users can perform the required operation in any condition and provide data transfer thanks to the control unit available in addition to the product.

The NOVU-V Adaptable USV can be operated in both autonomous mode and remoted control, while its open design permits to deploy a large range of payloads. Vehicle is made of polyethylene and offers a very stable operations with its unsinkable and near maintenance-free construction. NOVU-V’s competitive advantage is based in providing high reliability and advanced performances solutions adapted to customer needs. In addition, a complete support service is also provided before and after the sale.

With a weight of 15 kg (without battery and echo sounder), the Novu-V can be carried by a single person during the entire project from onsite transport, installation, calibration and mission processing.

Deep Mini is a remote controlled underwater vehicle that can be used for underwater observation and many different operations which can customers may determine. It has modern aerodynamic design that provides more agile movement in the water, and also reduces the surface friction force which water applies. Thanks to this design concept, the reduced water friction force achieves high power savings in the batteries, thus enabling Deep Mini to achieve long-term operation times. 3 propelled underwater vehicle designed geometry which has three degrees of freedom, is controlled by control pad which connected to ground control computer that also adapted withstand the extreme weather conditions.

Let me tell you where these swarm capabilities will go: in the near future, unmanned landing crafts will land armed UGVs on routes formed by armed ASVs and various other unmanned naval vehicles, and this machine army will be supported by UAVs for both C4ISR and close air support.

This new doctrine will lead to a rapid diversification of mother-ship concepts. Docked and air operations capable ships smaller than TCG Anadolu LHD will probably be a type of platform that will be more strongly considered.

Hasn't anyone noticed Naval CATS on top of the mast? That is not Kuzgun E/O but Naval version of CATS.
What i am expecting for later designs; A rotating type IRST.

12 meters multi-purpose ULAQ USV, carried in RHIB storage.
Yellow:
Dock for 25 meters USV, equipped with cranes, maintenance room and overhauling-replenishing of USV
Black:
USV-UUV storage on each side for 12 meters USV with cranes, workshop and maintenance room located in midst. Workshop will store multi- mission modules, conduct conversion and maintenance, replenishment when needed.

Notes:
Helopad and hangars are active for airborne operations, hangar size reduced to 2 helicopters make space for command ship and drone operations room.
Stern profile can be modified with podded propellers to make the dock capable of UUV operations.
