F..k i can't help waiting for it. Just revealed it. It seems semisubmergible. Very low water draft. İt would be very hard to dedected. Unmanned patrol boat? Laser guided cirit could engage any helis.View attachment 4834 They converted the main mast to missile launcher in addition to previous.
Although we started these studies very early, it took a long time to conceptualize and then doctrinize USV things. I hope it will be worth the wait.View attachment 4834 They converted the main mast to missile launcher in addition to previous.
A few corrections:Turkish Mini Submarine Development
DATUM Inc. specializes in the design and manufacture of mini submarines and marine test systems. Operating from Istanbul with its headquarters in ITU, our experienced team of naval architects, mechanical engineers, control and electric engineers possesses skills in shipbuilding, submarines, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, composites and software design.
DATUM’s roots date back to 2004, when a bunch of junior engineering students from different faculties at Istanbul Technical University came together to found ITU Solar Boat Team. The team built 3 solar boats between 2007 and 2012 and went on to win many international awards including a world championship trophy.
DATUM Inc. was founded by the members of ITU Solar Boat Team in 2013 with the goal of designing and building mini submarines and marine test systems.
Since its foundation in 2013, DATUM has designed and completed the design, manufacture and implementation of various marine test systems and equipment including planar motion mechanisms, free running maneuvering systems and submarine model test systems.

So sad to hear this part. Collaboration would ensure quicker solutions and delivery.A few corrections:
- Some of the "abilities" and "facilities" they have shown belong to the Ata Nutku Towing Tank, not to the DATUM AŞ
-- Model building is and other shown facilities are Ata Nutku Towing Tank, again not affiliated to DATUM but used by them.
- ISATAR is not, whatsoever, related to the DATUM AŞ, those images with DATUM logo is causing some legal issues to thecompany in near future.
- PMM and Open water Maneuvering system belongs to the KATMANSIS project, might have been supplied by DATUM AŞ, again not affiliated but contracted to them.
The company was -and still is- promising, however they were ultimately aggressive and ignored some basic collaborations and assured themselves that they can "resolve" any R&D requirement on their own, and ended up in a strange position.
Will my sensor array buoy network become reality as well ?
Cannard up of the launchers looks like submarine dive cannards . Does it would be underwaters vehicle or something ?View attachment 4834 They converted the main mast to missile launcher in addition to previous.
