NEW ERA IN AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

The Autonomous Platform Control and Monitoring System (OPKIS), which we designed for unmanned and autonomous surface platforms, won the Innovative and Creative Product Award in the "Large Company" category from the Turkish Electronics Industry Association (TESİD).

SECURE CONTROL AND MONITORING

OPKIS ensures the secure remote control/monitoring functions of systems such as energy management, crane control, and encoder reading. In cases such as power outages or unauthorized interventions, it switches to emergency mode and can perform defined tasks.

USED IN SANCAR SİDA

Initially used in the SANCAR SİDA Project, OPKIS is designed as a product that can be easily adapted for all unmanned surface vessels and offshore energy production platforms that will acquire autonomous features.

"The 657th issue of the Naval Forces Magazine has been published. The “Project and Study Activities” of the Turkish Naval Forces were shared within the scope of the magazine. In this context, according to the magazine, it was proposed to establish the Unmanned Marine Vehicle (UDA) Group Command in 2025 “within the scope of Project and Study Activities”. Infrastructure/superstructure needs studies for the establishment of the said command in Didim/Aydın are ongoing.

In addition to Didim/Aydın, studies will be carried out for the deployment of UAVs in different regions. In this context, within the scope of "İDA infrastructure needs", the necessary infrastructures will be established in Aksaz, Foça, Çanakkale, Gölcük, Mersin and Karadeniz Ereğli regions."

It looks like we are getting serious about using USVs now.

Unmanned Surface and Underwater Naval Vehicles
The MARLİN 100 EW Armed Unmanned Surface Vehicle (SİDA) and the ALBATROS platforms have become the first armed unmanned/autonomous naval vehicles to be included in the inventory of the Turkish Naval Forces Command.
With the delivery of the MARLİN 100 EW SİDA, the first unit of the SMASH 200/12.7L weapon system was also delivered.

During the Denizkurdu military exercise, the MARLİN 100 EW Unmanned Surface Vehicle was successfully commanded via satellite for the first time in a high-threat operational scenario.

Turkey’s first Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, DERİNGÖZ 100M/600, successfully completed its submerged test dives, and its contract has been signed.

⚓️ PIRANA KUSV: READY FOR DUTY

MKE Kamikaze Unmanned Surface Vehicle (PIRANA KUSV), designed for one-way attack missions, is engineered to destroy detected enemy naval targets, equipped with MKE’s advanced warhead and fuse design capabilities.

Offering a cost-effective, high-impact solution for asymmetric warfare, PIRANA KUSV can operate AUTONOMOUSLY or be remotely controlled, crashing into targets to detonate:

Damages enemy ships
Infiltrates ports and base areas
Delivers effective strikes for the navy

@Anmdt can you please comment on Arida-M and PIRANA?

Honestly they are nothing more than RF controlled toys at the moment, in comparison with Sefine&Aselsan'a Albatros and Ulaq's Kama. Better cost one-fifth of these two to make a use as FPV of the seas. Otherwise -nonetheless- useless and repeating products.

Do you see an export potential?

MKE #PİRANA KUSV Successfully Completes Collision Tests

Following the SURFACE NAVIGATION TESTS, MKE’s #PİRANA KUSV has now successfully completed its COLLISION TESTS and is officially ready for duty.

Achieving a precision strike on a highly compact and challenging target measuring just 3.5 meters, PİRANA effectively neutralized its objective.

Developed by MKE, the #PİRANA KUSV was engineered in consideration of asymmetric warfare conditions and equipped with advanced warhead and fuze technologies. This semi-autonomous surface vessel can be remotely operated via a Fixed Command Center with real-time data transmission and is designed to deliver high-impact results at low cost.

Designed to be compatible with SWARM deployment concepts, PİRANA is programmed to autonomously or remotely navigate toward identified maritime threats and detonate upon impact. This feature enables it to effectively infiltrate enemy ships, ports, and base zones, delivering powerful offensive capability.

🫡 MKE #PİRANA KUSV IS MISSION-READY!

I am on my fucking knees right now. Finally Çakır on an USV.

And, I said it before and I'll say it again, Venom LR is a god send for us. A 30 mm cannon that could (almost) fit in turrets made for 12.7 mm guns, it is brilliant. Canik really did a great service to this country when they bought that British company.

SANCAR Armed Unmanned Surface Vessel successfully hit targets with high accuracy using the 12.7 mm Stabilized Weapon System through the ADVENT Combat Management System.

That is the single most underwhelming video they could've put out after few years of development. Spraying a target all over while being almost stationary, with a 12.7 mm machine gun. At least show the USV doing it on high speed, that would be something. Or put a 20mm cannon on it, so that it could at least hurt other USV or hunt aerial targets flying over.

Imo the point of this test was integration with ADVENT. More information in this news.
