Turgis&Gaillard was the design office in charge of developing Gerfaut, a system for integrating French precision guided munitions. It is also active in various industrial fields. Given the bureaucratic cumbersomeness of France's giant aerospace companies on UAV developing, there is indeed a chance that the project could actually proceed in a healthy way. The system is positioned as a direct AKINCI competitor. When we look at the specs, we can say that AKINCI has created a class. Of course, the operational efficiency and the design of the whole system is a different matter.
Not related to this but, based on the Hurkuş design, a 1500hp CAS/Attack drone should be developed, which is very agile and can also play an anti-UCAV role for various heavy drones and some other rotary/fixed light aircrafts by unmanned this system. With this type of conversion, unmanned aircraft derivated from Hurkuş can carry up to 2 tons of rockets, missiles, and even heavy guns, and more fuel. So I think the idea of a single 1200hp or more powerfull prop engine in these types of drones is not bad at all and we should utulitize in our solutions too.

. Ther system will be still expensive.
