Yes for Sungur, see here:


Deringöz - Piranha (Navalized CATS+ or AF500) and Sungur on SANCAR.

Do you think it would be possible to make a proper launcher with more missiles for Sungur? Something close to Kuzgun's new launcher, or something like Levent?

What's that sideways missile looking thing on top of the USV?

The mast?

What's that sideways missile looking thing on top of the USV?

It is the radio mast folded down so that it can fit through the opening in the ship and can be stored properly. It will be raised automatically when lowered to the sea

Apparently Ulaq Kama has gone through some changes since we last saw it

ULAQ KAMA prototipi ilk kez SAHA EXPO 2024'te

Ares Tersanesi-METEKSAN Savunma ürünü ULAQ KAMA Sarfedilebilir İnsansız Deniz Aracı'nın prototipi ilk kez SAHA EXPO 2024 fuarında sergilendi.

With a length of 6.37 meters, a width of 1.20 meters and a draft of only 0.30 meters, it offers both agility and high survivability in marine environments. ULAQ KAMA can reach speeds of over 20 knots and is capable of operating in sea state 4 conditions, making it effective even in moderately rough seas. It weighs 1.3 tons and has a payload capacity of 200 kilograms.

NEW ERA IN AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

The Autonomous Platform Control and Monitoring System (OPKIS), which we designed for unmanned and autonomous surface platforms, won the Innovative and Creative Product Award in the "Large Company" category from the Turkish Electronics Industry Association (TESİD).

SECURE CONTROL AND MONITORING

OPKIS ensures the secure remote control/monitoring functions of systems such as energy management, crane control, and encoder reading. In cases such as power outages or unauthorized interventions, it switches to emergency mode and can perform defined tasks.

USED IN SANCAR SİDA

Initially used in the SANCAR SİDA Project, OPKIS is designed as a product that can be easily adapted for all unmanned surface vessels and offshore energy production platforms that will acquire autonomous features.

İnsansız Deniz Aracı (İDA) Grup Komutanlığı dönemi!

2025 yılında Deniz Kuvvetleri Komutanlığı bünyesinde İnsansız Deniz Aracı (İDA) Grup Komutanlığı'nın kurulması teklif edildi.

www.defenceturk.net

"The 657th issue of the Naval Forces Magazine has been published. The “Project and Study Activities” of the Turkish Naval Forces were shared within the scope of the magazine. In this context, according to the magazine, it was proposed to establish the Unmanned Marine Vehicle (UDA) Group Command in 2025 “within the scope of Project and Study Activities”. Infrastructure/superstructure needs studies for the establishment of the said command in Didim/Aydın are ongoing.

In addition to Didim/Aydın, studies will be carried out for the deployment of UAVs in different regions. In this context, within the scope of "İDA infrastructure needs", the necessary infrastructures will be established in Aksaz, Foça, Çanakkale, Gölcük, Mersin and Karadeniz Ereğli regions."

It looks like we are getting serious about using USVs now.

Unmanned Surface and Underwater Naval Vehicles
The MARLİN 100 EW Armed Unmanned Surface Vehicle (SİDA) and the ALBATROS platforms have become the first armed unmanned/autonomous naval vehicles to be included in the inventory of the Turkish Naval Forces Command.
With the delivery of the MARLİN 100 EW SİDA, the first unit of the SMASH 200/12.7L weapon system was also delivered.

During the Denizkurdu military exercise, the MARLİN 100 EW Unmanned Surface Vehicle was successfully commanded via satellite for the first time in a high-threat operational scenario.

Turkey’s first Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, DERİNGÖZ 100M/600, successfully completed its submerged test dives, and its contract has been signed.

⚓️ PIRANA KUSV: READY FOR DUTY

MKE Kamikaze Unmanned Surface Vehicle (PIRANA KUSV), designed for one-way attack missions, is engineered to destroy detected enemy naval targets, equipped with MKE’s advanced warhead and fuse design capabilities.

Offering a cost-effective, high-impact solution for asymmetric warfare, PIRANA KUSV can operate AUTONOMOUSLY or be remotely controlled, crashing into targets to detonate:

Damages enemy ships
Infiltrates ports and base areas
Delivers effective strikes for the navy

@Anmdt can you please comment on Arida-M and PIRANA?

Honestly they are nothing more than RF controlled toys at the moment, in comparison with Sefine&Aselsan'a Albatros and Ulaq's Kama. Better cost one-fifth of these two to make a use as FPV of the seas. Otherwise -nonetheless- useless and repeating products.

Do you see an export potential?
