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.An underwater target is successfully detected via a USV-launched sonobuoy. Another big achievement for our USVs.
Yes on the exercise UAV listened to a sonobuoy launched by another asset. In this test, it launched the sonobuoy itself.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?
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.
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.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.
65 km per second! Wow!
65 kilometre / saat (hour)65 km per second! Wow!
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.
Hasn't anyone noticed Naval CATS on top of the mast? That is not Kuzgun E/O but Naval version of CATS.
LPD 170 by STM - Delta Marine suits as well; Vehicle storage deck could be changed into unmanned vessel handling bay with maintanence and rearming capability.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.

Based on STM -Delta Marine LPD 170, Drone Mothership / Command ship.
Green: left to right
Communication- uplink with USV - and ELINT-SIGINT mast,
2* radome for SATCOM and several other needs (network with drones),
navigational mast -with IFF ,LPI, 2D radar.
Red left to right:
CIWS 2x on aft,
1x on fore, guns on foredeck is removed
*(1x CIWS replaced with 2 x RAM or 16cell MK41 for 64 ESSM on fore,in place of guns)
Blue: left to right
25 meters Anti-Ship ULAQ USV, carried in dock
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.
Could be the one used in Aselsan's swarm tests. Likely new Albatros version.
As far as I remember Sungur launcher is able to launch both Sungur and Cirit missiles and I just love this versatility.

Also the side-rails indicate they may integrate canister launched Kuzgun or other similar sized missiles (Çakır) in inclined positions.
