MSB Arge ramjet shell doesn't have guidance so it is impractical for now. It achieved 130km in tests.
Air-to-air missile looks like a cost-effective solution. It should have a range of around 20km.
Wankel motor is a copy of the IAI Harpy/Harop's Wankel motor. It is for kamikaze drones. 38hp can reach 4500m altitude. It is not a direct competitor of TEI PG-50.

Dont you need rapid fire to engage UAV´s?
Something like Bofors?
Wouldn't 80 rounds a minute with air burst rounds be enough to cover enough area around a drone to take it down? That shell looks like it has hundreds of pellets inside.

MK-84 GAZAP
The MK-84 GAZAP, the latest variant of the MK series, is a 2,000-pound, fragmentation-effect, advanced general-purpose aircraft bomb. Developed based on the MK84 general-purpose bomb, GAZAP delivers high destructive power within an approximate 1-kilometer radius using 10,000 embedded fragments. Thanks to its special filler material, GAZAP generates an extremely powerful blast effect and has three times the impact capacity compared to standard munitions of its class.

Damn, 3 times? That is some really special filler. And 10k fragments is a nice touch, should leave some really nice abstract art in its aftermath.

Kara akya is loading…..I give this name,may be they can call different name.Some engineers told me on idef,it will not be on the statik position but on mobile with land vehiclesTurkish navy does not want akya torpedo on their surface ships.Aldough some egyptian frigates carry 2 heavy weight torpedos.IF this is true I can not confirm it,there is a possibility for joke,it would be excellent for access denial of Türkiye’s and cyprus coastal waters.
Turkish navy also demand GPS jamming capability on their surface ships,they decided to go with a turkish company other than 8/60 eight sixty,probably meteksan which is working on similar seymen project.Jamming gps from surface ships is an excellent idea,that I was dreaming for a long time.Spoof of GPS signals getting hard,because signals are encrypted,but jamming is easy,altough low orbit GPS satellites make more powerful signals,and difficult for jamming.Solution is over there more power for jamming.
I hope aselsan also makes an C-ED for turkish navy warships,they already made for pakistan OPVs built by damen shipyard.
