Now, I'm guessing the satcom is that bulb in the back, put I have no idea what those things sticking out are for. Or these extra sensors under the gimbal.

Kraken Robotics has successfully demonstrated its KATFISH towed synthetic aperture sonar and autonomous launch and recovery system (LARS) from SEFINE’s RD-22 unmanned surface vessel (USV) in coordination with SEFINE SISAM.

I wonder they are just testing it for foreign market or intended for Turkiye?

STM announced TENGİZ, an unmanned submarine capable of launching torpedoes.

TENGİZ, which can remain underwater at a depth of 400 meters for more than 20 days, also has the capability of laying mines at sea.

Capable of launching both heavy and very lightweight torpedoes, TENGİZ operates as a "mothership" structure that carries the STM NETA 300 autonomous underwater vehicle and the ALPAGUT loitering munition system within itself and can launch them from underwater. Thanks to the ADVENT Command and Control architecture, the platform, integrated into the network-centric warfare concept, performs data transfer via satellite communication. Compatible with 40-foot ISO container dimensions, TENGİZ can autonomously commence missions not only from ports but also from logistics support ships and pool-type vessels such as TCG ANADOLU (LHD).

I wonder whether it could carry Akya or Orka, because if this can carry Akya, it would be a proper strategic asset, especially in the Aegean.
