The Future of Persistent Ground Surveillance - European Security & Defence

Ground surveillance consistently monitors ground activities and has historically relied on radar and observational data. This integration of multiple pieces of equipment, such as cameras, radars, and other electronic sensors, results in a single-band or multi-spectral surveillance coverage over...

TB3 Landed and took off from TCG Anadolu

THEY DID IT.

Last year when Selcuk Bayraktar said TB3 will land on TCG Anadolu in 2024, some valuable members here said it is impossible. I don't want to quote those posts.

[IC3M@N FX]

Finally this is the next seroius Step, as soon as the weapons and target identification tests are completed, these drones must immediately go into series production at least 60 units + 10 options for the Navy, Gendarmerie/Army/Police and Air Force as first Batch.

20-30 pcs. TCG Anadolu/Navy
20 pcs Gendarmerie/Army/Police
20 pcs Air Force

We should also consider some of the TB2 drones in stock at least 40-50 pieces. Refurbished to Africa & Eastern Europe + Ukraine for sale.
The Money could then be used to finance part of the second batch.

 

[dBSPL]

Unless I miscalculated, TB-3 completed its first landing test just below 100 meters.

I know the Navy is planning to procure more than 30.

Well done. Btw these tests need to be conducted with payload as well.

[dBSPL]

Congratulatory message from Haluk Görgün, President of SSB:

Bayraktar TB-3 made world record as the first UCAV, capable of both taking off and landing from a ship with a short runway! This success is an indicator not only of the Turkish defense industry, but also of our pionering in the global race in aerospace technologies. Turkiye won this race!

Developed with domestic and national facilities, TB-3 is a groundbreaking innovation in the field of our national naval aviation. With its flight time endurance, high payload capacity and now the ability to land and take off from a ship with a short runway, TB-3 is an approach that opens the door to a new era in future defense technologies. Turkiye entered naval aviation at the highest level!

I would like to sincerely congratulate our engineers, technicians and all the teams, especially our Baykar Tech company, who contributed to this historic achievement. Turkiye, with its perseverance and determination, has taken a leading place in a global race.

We are proud of our Baykar and our Defense Industry!

TB-3 True Force Multiplier

Indigenous engine, indigenous flight control system, indigenously designed airframe, indigenous munitions, indigenous avionics and related payloads, indigenous system engineering. This makes the significance of this achievement even more profound.

Great study. By the way, how many lifts are there in the ship? As far I see, one is at the back. Any other?

 

[Anmdt]

You may quote mine, they haven't planned a landing within this year and it has been rushed. We are not telling that it can not be done, it is done earlier. Just like my words on KE, TB3 is bound to go through changes after these trials.

Kudos to the engineers, the ride is much smoother than i expected.

 

[Anmdt]

Indigenous engine, indigenous flight control system, indigenously designed airframe, indigenous munitions, indigenous avionics and related payloads, indigenous system engineering. This makes the significance of this achievement even more profound.

And if they later make use of approach radars for landing, that would have been a lot better.
Now i also wonder where did they place the ground station, or through which console/controller they have controlled the landing.

 

[dBSPL]

Great study. By the way, how many lifts are there in the ship? As far I see, one is at the back. Any other?

There is second aircraft lift on the starboard side, which capable of lifting and lowering the F-35B.

 

[Oublious]

First in history, a drone like TB3 landing on LHD not AC but LHD. This is real difficult to achieve, next step KE. Congrate tor Turkiye and TB2 team.
