Turkey's drone hunter Fedai makes its first flight
Models of concept studies for the Fedai, which was created in cooperation with Turkish defense industry companies and used in the first flight, and for launching from multiple and single launch systems, were exhibited at the SAHA EXPO Defense and Aviation Hybrid Fair organized by SAHA Istanbul.
Transvaro Executive Board Member Güray Ali Canlı told Anadolu Agency (AA) that they kept the platform on which they made their first flight as a memory and exhibited it at the fair, shortly after the bouncer works came to the fore.
Noting that Fedai has received serious demand from abroad in this short period of time and they are making preparations to meet these demands, Vital said, "We started to produce Fedai from carbon. The first 10 vehicles came out of mass production. There is more demand for the multi-launch version installed on the vehicle. We prepared this model. We are proposing to the world market a concept in the form of a truck with 3 launch systems, 1 command control, 1 radar, jammer and thermal camera systems in a set of vehicles." said.
Noting that they started to work on the model, which reached an altitude of 5 thousand meters, in line with the demand from a Southeast Asian country, Vital said:
"We named it the Fedai 102, it was the first Fedai 101. Our field tests are very successful. We made its first flight. We bring innovations in every flight. Fedai has a thermal camera, daytime camera and LIDAR. It is the first and only in the world with this feature. Wing folding system It is a patented and special system. It is 100 percent carbon, this feature is unique in the world. The only one in the world with radar, camera control and LIDAR scanning system. The launcher is launched from the tube, we have started work on the shoulder-mounted model. "We are making these preparations for the Turkish defense industry. Our R&D studies continue at full speed. We are developing Fedai every day. We organize our production accordingly. I think that Fedai will be one of the most important export products of the Turkish defense industry in the very near future."
New factory for Fedai needs
Live said they plan to have the first Bouncers ready for delivery in January-February 2022.
Explaining that they are aiming to meet the incoming orders with a certain capacity, Yaşam made the following evaluations:
"It is not enough to give the bouncer. We sell a system. DROKA, known as the "Drone Killer" or "Drone Killer". There are a number of systems in this, from thermal camera to radar, jammer to other units. Integrated circuit used in radars, electronic components, there is a production shortage in the world. "There is an increase of up to 50 percent in the price of germanium used in thermal cameras. We have established a separate radar factory in Yozgat to produce the Fedai. We will commission it after the beginning of the year. As well as producing the Fedai, the radar, electro optics necessary for it to do its job successfully." "We need to be producing suits, jammers and other units as well. Our arrangements for these are continuing. We are also trying to cope with the constraints and supply difficulties in electronics. We are trying to produce solutions within ourselves."
Low altitude air defense mission to Fedai 102
Güray Ali Canlı, who gave information about the differences between Fedai 101 and Fedai 102, made the following assessment:
“Our customers want to use Fedai as a low-altitude air defense system not only to shoot down UAVs and drones, but also to shoot down low-flying helicopters and propeller planes. That's why the request for 5,000 meters came. It's a bit taller, with its battery and engine as well. It's bigger. We've also increased the warhead a little bit. Its diameter is the same, the wing lengths are different. We've extended our launchers. The same launcher can fire Fedai 101 and Fedai 102. It has more speed and airtime, and more powerful batteries."
