The New Sea Hunter UAV to Be Unveiled at SAHA EXPO

Developed within the Turkish defense industry, TALAY claims to be "the world's first low-altitude multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle" (UAV) and will be introduced for the first time at SAHA EXPO.

SAHA EXPO, the International Defense, Aviation, and Space Industry Fair organized by SAHA Istanbul—Turkey's and Europe's largest industrial cluster—will take place from October 22-26 at the Istanbul Fair Center, under the auspices of the Presidency and with the support of six ministries and the Presidency of Defense Industries. The event will feature a global communication partnership with Anadolu Agency (AA).

Solid Aero, formed by a team that has previously undertaken various UAV projects, will showcase UAV systems and solutions specifically designed for military and tactical applications at the fair.

Solid Aero, known for its innovative designs, will exhibit TALAY, which claims to be "the world's first low-altitude multi-purpose UAV," for the first time at SAHA EXPO.

TALAY will have a one-to-one model at the fair, developed in response to the need for low-altitude operations over the sea, with a wingspan of 2.60 meters and a fuselage length of 2 meters. It will serve as an effective, high-performance platform for defense, attack, and deterrence missions.

TALAY is capable of neutralizing enemy ships and coastal bases and can perform tasks that require rapid intervention over the sea.

It can fly at an altitude of just 30 centimeters above water and can reach heights of up to 150 meters. These features are expected to add a new dimension to sea operations and attract significant interest in the global market. The operational cruising altitude of TALAY is between 3-5 meters.

Thanks to its low-altitude flying capability, TALAY has a very low probability of radar detection, achieving speeds of over 200 kilometers per hour, making it faster than all potential maritime platforms it targets. TALAY can stay airborne for up to three hours and can also perform low-altitude flights over land for a certain distance.

With its high payload capacity, TALAY can be used in a variety of missions, enhancing operational flexibility. It can carry payloads of up to 30 kilograms, which corresponds to half its weight.

The development process of TALAY's electric model, currently undergoing system and flight tests, is expected to be completed in three months.

With a high domestic production rate, work on the domestic engine for TALAY's maritime patrol model, which has a wingspan of 7 meters, is set to begin with TEI by the end of the year.

TALAY reminds me of this scene:

Nice to see that we're making use of ground effect. Imagine a larger model of TALAY fitted with anti-ship missiles.

Many last footages of our new babies anka-3 and Kızılelma Pt-3 we see dacs like 360 degree cameras. With help of that planes create a 360 degree bubble around the aircraft and speedly detect any aa missile, fighter and sam missile in it its iir range. With help of that also they can guide iir guided missiles to enemy aircrafts with limited movement needs.

So that's mean ucavs doesnt need a very agile dogfight capabilities . So if kızılelma can achieve work this dacs kind system and work aesa radar with bvr missile it could be very serious rival in the air againts 4 th gen enemy fighter.

Murad 200A Aesa + Dacs+Toygun + Karat + Ai322f Engine + Gökdoğan + Bozdoğan = Limited Air Superiorty .

TALAY seems to be a miniaturized version of a manned aircraft from Singapore guess Sen engineering with the capacity of 8 passengers and 1 ton

Doubt it. Ground effect vehicles are nothing new. You can make one at home yourself as well. No need to take an existing design and miniaturize it.

Having doubts is always good ….. having doubts about your doubts is even better…as you stated ground effect vehicles are nothing new and can make one at home but what you should not do is call it an innovative design as Solid Aero did,don’t you think.. ı mean by your logic and words

Checked the team, i don't happen to see someone who could design the shown aircraft from scratch with a good background knowledge on aerodynamics or WIG in particular. They should have done some wikipedia reading, found out about reverse delta wing* configuration and from there on found out the Singaporean design, and 'adopted' it.

*This is a patented design, per se.

For something innovative, see;

Regent has released video of its remarkable Seaglider prototype in flight testing. The first machine to combine the efficiency advantages of ground effect and hydrofoiling in a single design, it promises revolutionary speed and range in coastal areas.

Moreover they have displayed the take off of a scaled model which definitely just jumps out of the water surface due to the propeller's unproportional lift/force.

The concept could be nice for fast logistic deliveries, but anything beyond that would be slightly questooned. Someone out there claimed a MPA design based on this, and a WIG aircraft contradicts the MPA doctrine, hence again likely they (company) claim this based on few articles related to ST Engineering design where it can be offered to an authority for fishery - port control. (And the article used MPA abbreviation).

But indeed good luck to the team. At least, at last we have a group who dares to think out of the box and not giving us good old VTOLs as 'new product'. A sea based MALE UAV could be much more beneficial in future allowing it to take off from any shore.
