Planes use lesser power in cruise than in take off, some of the power can be allocated to the radar during cruise. There needs to be a bigger alternator or some pre-charged battery capacity to supply power to the radar. Radar may also be used intermittantly to save power.
Note that the Gabbiano TS is a PESA. But it does prove that the power requirements of an AESA (which are usually lower than for an equivalent PESA) can be met.It'll be interesting to see the use-case for Multi-purpose AESA radar. Maybe we may see single tube sungurs integrated into TB2?

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as well as both fixed and rotary wing small manned platforms.
The Gabbiano TS Ultra-Light (UL) surveillance radar is the result of the company’s efforts to package all the technology and modes of its successful range of Gabbiano radars into a highly-affordable product weighing less than 24kg. The new multi-mode, multi-mission, mechanically scanning product is Leonardo’s lightest-ever surveillance radar.
For the promotional video of SİPER, the target aircraft system has been determined.
Mustafa KAVAL, Head of Micro Electronic Guidance and Electro Optics Sector of ASELSAN, shared information about the CATS Electro-Optical Targeting System, which has recently entered the inventory of the Turkish Armed Forces, and the ongoing thermal detector studies. "CATS passed a very successful test last week. All of our forces decided to buy this system because its performance exceeded a certain level and exceeded expectations. We want to be one of the few companies in the world in the field of Electro-Optics. We aim to be among the top ten in the world. University in Optical Engineering. "Industry cooperation needs to increase. We need to increase our efficiency and competence in precision mechanics. There are good developments. We started to put our uncooled national detectors in our products. Prototypes of cooled national detectors for cameras at longer distances began to appear at the laboratory level." said.

Does the image fusion make aselflir better than mx-15? Because I looked at the specs sheet and they're identical to my untrained eyes.
Do you have a link to the comparison?
The mighty Sukhoi company is featuring a product of a baby company in comparison as a threat! This only shows how worried the Russians are about Turkish-Ukranian cooperation on UAVs.
TAI cannot import turbofan engines for Göksungur. SSB will not allow imported engine. So they will wait for the TF-6000.
And if the engine is an F404?
