Turkey release new unmanned destroyer aircraft - new aerospace program

Turkish Aerospace Industry (TAI) General Manager Prof Dr Temel Kotil participated in the Indigenous and National program: prepared and presented by Belma Şahaner on TRT Radio 1 and made important statements regarding the recent advancements in the programs carried out by TAI: Temel Kotil stated that the serial production process of the ANKA AKSUNGUR UAV system: developed over the Anka UAV system: Unlike ANKA: AKSUNGUR UAV whose many features such as all aircraft systems comprising a guidance control system: structure: flight mechanics: landing gear: engine and fuel system were redesigned: caused great excitement with 28-hour endurance for the first time and full ammunition capacity: Crowning its success with 49 hour endurance: the unmanned aerial vehicle followed a line of route in the form of the moon and star and flew at an altitude of 20 thousand feet: With 49 hour endurance on its 59th flight: the UAV completed its 300 hour flight: The model was showcased at the Paris Airshow for the first time: and a special fuselage awaits the vehicle in the second phase: TAI aims to send this more advanced version of AKSUNGUR to the sky soon and record 55 hour endurance: AKSUNGUR UAV has a payload capacity of 750 kg: The indigenous UAVs will have a more effective strike capability through the integration of HGK and KGK: It is expected that the efficiency of UAVs will increase even more with AKSUNGUR’s entry into the inventory: AKSUNGUR MALE class UAV System is capable of performing intelligence: surveillance: reconnaissance and attack missions day and night in all weather conditions: It is a Medium Altitude Long Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System that can carry EO IR: SAR and Signal Intelligence (SINGINT): payloads and various air to ground ammunition systems: AKSUNGUR will use two double turbocharged diesel PD 170 engines that can reach an altitude of 40 000 feet and allow the most compelling operations to be conducted: The TAI Aksungur is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) built by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) for the Turkish Armed Forces: Using existing technology from the TAI Anka series of drones: it is the manufacturer's largest drone with payload capacity for mission-specific equipment: It is intended to be used for long-term surveillance: signals intelligence: maritime patrol missions: or as an unmanned combat aerial vehicle: TAI planned to integrate weapon packages and put the Aksungur into production in early 2020: Developing the UAV took 18 months: The airframe: wing and landing gear are new designs: while control systems are from the existing TAI Anka family of drones: A new turbodiesel engine is also in development for the programme: with initial flight tests of the airframe using an existing engine: Two prototypes were manufactured for testing purposes: Its maiden flight: displaying automatic takeoff and landing capabilities: The aircraft is 12 m long and 3 m high when resting on its landing gear: The high mounted wings have a slight dihedral angle and a wingspan of 24 m: The wings end with small winglets: The centralized fuselage is under the wings and houses avionics: camera and sensors systems: with a chin-mounted camera blister: Fuel is stored in the fuselage and wings: A turbocharged engine is mounted under each wing: The aircraft is powered by two forward-mounted PD 170 dual turbocharged diesel engines developed by Tusas Engine Industries (TEI): equipped with three bladed propellers in a tractor (puller) configuration: According to the manufacturer: these enable the Aksungur to cruise at a maximum speed of 180 km/h and carry a maximum payload of 750 kg: Remote control of the UAV is performed by DO-178B compatible software on DO-254 compatible ground control station: and hardware using double backed-up encrypted digital data link: Optional beyond visual range operation flexibility is available via communications satellite: TAI expects to integrate weapon systems typical of F 4 and F 16 fighter aircraft onto Aksungur in the last quarter: Three hardpoints are situated under each wing for attaching external payloads: Proposed armaments include TEBER 81: TEBER 82: LUMTAS: MAM L: Roketsan Cirit: MAM C: HGK 3: KGK 82:
