The integration is limited for now, the semi-integrated ground control station (a.k.a. the uav operations room) lies within the hangar, with its organic, sensor, data-link and SATCOM infastructure scattered around the ship separately from ship's. The integration is made between drone operations room and CMS.
This is highly robust and fair approach from the perspective of drone manufacturer; minimum relience on ship's equipments, minimum knowledge of ship's control systems and using common gateways of CMS and Data management system to integrate one-way data relays, could also might be extended to two-way later easily. This is an effective approach for sales, and quick acquisitions by other Navies allowing integration to be carried out during a minor maintenance, even without docking, schedule without re-testing all the equipments. Even with pure ISR and light engagement the TB3 is a capability extender for amphibious assets; cheap, easy to integrate, unmatching ISR capability with long endurance and low operations costs, for being unmanned allowing high-risk zone deployments.
However, it is highly inadequent from perspective of the Navy. It is not visible for now since drone operations are mainly limited to ISR, light engagements and amphibious support but it will be more prominent in future when amphibious asset on ground (or transport helos, Special Forces, attack helos) may need to use drone for communication relay, or to obtain live-feed for situational awareness (same applies for fleet).
At the current stage, the integration most importantly eliminates the possibility of drone being engaged by accompanying ships, or Anadolu's own protection systems, recognizing it as an 'organic' asset.
There are shortcomings of drone operations room not being in physical integration with the operations room, and flight bridge but this would be luxury for what Anadolu has already been designed without thinking of this extension.
There is a long way to go;
- Drone operations room sharing the same room with operations room; i.e. being designed in such a way to achieve secure flow of commands and situational awareness.
- Drone-related equipment is being integrated more seamlessly alongside the bridge.
- Drones supporting take-off and land without the visual assist (RF-IR based)
- Drone control stations supporting two-way integration with CMS hence allowing commander to take over the control, or plot a course, select a zone, view - tilt the EO payload.
- Better integration for further sensor payloads to combine the data with ship's sensors (such as ESM / ECM, SAR/MTI).
- There is plenty more, such as; a maintenance rig and spare/inspection routines for naval deployments.
