Looks amazing. Makes me wonder if ULAQ will have some sort of AD as well. With any of the setup. E.g. Orka+sungur+12,7mm. Considering how warfare doctrins are changing and with UCAV I think ULAQs, UAV and UCAV will be waging the wars while the real expensive vessels and such will remain far away as commanf centers. Having aerial domination will decide the outcomes.

isn’t cirit pod more compact and wouldn’t it be a good option for ulaq.

Yalman RCWS can also launch 2x2 Sungur, and i think Meteksan may add a light radar on top of the mast for below 50 km search&track.
They are developing swarm concept for a reason, in my opinion each member of swarm may be assigned with certain role with distributed concept.

This ULAQ also has an EW variant that may conduct EA/ESM/SIGINT. Not as capable as MIR UAV but sufficient to counter small to medium drones.

Turkish Navy is not prioritizing USV based AD for now, and companies are focusing to fulfill requirements of TN at the moment. Remaining studies are rather on conceptual level for possible customers.

Also the side-rails indicate they may integrate canister launched Kuzgun or other similar sized missiles (Çakır) in inclined positions.
What is the remaining 10% that is not local? Any information?

Water-jet, couplings, transmission (reduction gear, unclear if will be used with these engines and WJ configuration) as major items.
Remaining systems are minor, either COTS or can be supplied elsewhere. Also applies to prior systems.

Can GÖKDENİZ ER or LEVENT be integrated to our USVs in the future?

Not "as-is" in original launchers meant for bigger ships. But if there is going to be an AD version, it will have capability to launch 8 small missiles of selection (Sungur-D/ER, Levent/Gökdeniz) or 4 of another one.

Maybe we can get a small AA model with Sungur and maybe 40 mm atom against drones and helicopters.

Βeing involved in technology and using open source tools does not make one a spy. Don't look for them in this forum. Look around you.
Do not take it serious, if you did'nt like my posts I can delete them. You have 5 messages and 2 of them are photos of Turkish unmanned sea vehicles. Please post more so that ı don't make bad jokes
