They don't have any human onboard, so technically as long as they are not capsized they will remain operational one of the major factor is human for sea worthiness. But i don't think it will be disclosed up to which sea state the weapons will remain operational.

For frigates and corvettes, it depends but our Navy starts with minimum 5 for weapons to remain operational, above that it becomes partially operational and survivability is for 7-8 depending on the size.

Tuzla ytkb has a good design which allows it to hang on at higher sea state compared to its rivals around the world. It is really remarkable but those sea states are rarely needed because it mostly operates in littoral waters.

THX a lot for precious answer.

So sea worthiness of warships can be considered as a weapon. If you had warships which could be operational at 6-8 sea states ( i don't know if there are warships can do it) , you could defeat your enemy at rough sea which were very rare ,using winter hard weather conditions as advantage.
Some Navies could use this tactic.

+ Sailor training, TN puts a little stress on sailors in some joint trainings it is usually, or always TN and one another particular navy's ships remaining operational and completing duties of the training in worse sea conditions. The ship maybe good but if the crew is not trained well they might even fail at 4.
So it is a combination of; the ship + the crew training + the crew morale + the commander factor.

DEMİR: "We are starting the mass production of ULAQ SİDA"

I assume it is modifiable or already mature enough to go in to production. Maybe our industry is experienced enough to acquire a compelling product. As I had doubts that they have tried enough configurations aspecially for sea-keeping and all, I haven't seen if they put fins and foils under the boat to make it more seaworthy.

When the sea is choppy you don't go to the mess. You eat bread only.

Reiterating that mass production for the armed unmanned marine vessel (SIDA) started recently, Demir stated that the field of submarines is more difficult in this regard.

“For all, we are working on more than one model,” he said and added that several companies are working on the vessels.

USV competition, Yonca-Onuk going to join too I believe. I hope they standardize subsystem development and use the knowledge from all programs into serial production projects. 3 companies using their resources on developing same things would not be good

YO had already joined, Ekber Onuk told in an interview they are going to debut the platform in a few months.
They are going to use one of the available MRTP boat.

SSB funds the projects, NB-coded ASW-USV is funded by a customer (MSB), it is ordered thus it has got "NB-New building" code.
"RD-research&development" code means it is either funded by company itself to demonstrate technology, through some research budget, or jointly (a SSB-TKY project morelikely).

Hello. Is it determined which flir will be used in serial production of ulaq? I believe aselsan's maritime flir solutions or aselflir 300t can be enough for now. But it seems meteksan is trying to avoid cooperating with aselsan. So will they achieve buying foreign flirs (safire or others)? Also I couldn't get the flir used in the aselsan's ida?
