[Skywalker]

In diesem Thread bitte alles reinstellen was mit UAV und UCAV Projekte der Türkei betrifft !

Das Thema mag zwar in den Thread türkische Rüstungsindustrie, teilweise was Auslieferungen betrifft im Bereich der Streitkräfte und Luftwaffe gut aufgehoben sein. Es ist jedoch ein umfangreiches Thema für sich selbst. Deshalb hier alles posten von der taktischen Aufklärungsdrohne, über Kamikaze Drohnen bis Jet betriebenen Projekten wie der Kizilelma und der Anka-3. Zukünftige Projekte haben ebenfalls hier ihren Platz !

KIZILELMA Unmanned Fighter Flies with TEBER-82 Guided Bomb TurDef
Baykar’s KIZILELMA unmanned fighter performed its second flight test involving a captive munition with TEBER-82 500 lb Laser+GNSS guided bomb of ROKETSAN.

Following the captive munition flight test with ASELSAN’s TOLUN small-diameter bomb, TEBER-82 took its place under KIZILELMA’s wing in the new test footage Baykar shared on social media.
Like the test with TOLUN, two TEBER-82 guided bombs were placed on external hardpoints of KIZILELMA PT-3 prototype.

TOLUN and TEBER kit being the first suggests the initial phase of KIZILELMA’s munition tests will consist of unpowered munitions due to the simplicity in integration. Later on, air-to-surface missiles like ÇAKIR and UAV-230 are likely to follow as powered munition types. Ultimately, with the integration of sensors such as MURAD AESA radar and KARAT 100 IRST, KIZILELMA will move on to the air-to-air missile tests.

TEBER-82 is a Laser+GNSS guided bomb combining two guidance types for fire-and-forget against static targets and effectiveness against moving targets. The kit is available for all Mk-80 series of general-purpose bombs. For Mk-82 500 lb bombs, the TEBER-82 is available in baseline (Fighters: 28 km / UCAVs: 13 km), fixed wing (Specialised for UCAVs, 30 km), and folding wings (Fighters: ~100 km / UCAVs: ~50 km).

Fifth Prototype of KIZILELMA Takes Off With Afterburner TurDef
The fifth prototype of Baykar’s KIZILELMA unmanned fighter, PT-5, took off for the aerodynamic system identification test using afterburner for the flight test.

KIZILELMA’s fifth prototype, with slight external changes, used its afterburner in its first announced test. The new prototype has its external pitot tube at the nose swapped out, likely for an internal one. As KIZILELMA is being developed with low observability in mind, it is important to have any instrument concealed for RCS reduction.

Previously, the third prototype performed captive munition flight tests with ASELSAN’s TOLUN SDB and ROKETSAN’s TEBER-82 guided bomb. Additionally, the prototype retracted its landing gears during a flight test.

Baykar exhibited the serial production version of KIZILELMA with KARAT 100 IRST and TOYGUN 100 EOTS during IDEF25. In addition to high-end optical sensors, the unmanned fighter will receive the MURAD AESA radar (100-A initially, 200-A variant to be integrated later) in accordance with the focus on air-to-air capabilities.

Baykar shared the footage of the seventh and tenth AKINCI prototypes in the exercise, while ASELSAN disclosed the types of EW pods used during the event, as its ANTIDOT 2-U/ES and ANTIDOT 2-U/EA pods, which are considerably more potent than the smaller ANTIDOT 2-U LB/MB/HB for Bayraktar TB2.
ANTIDOT 2-U/ES is used for the detection, classification, and location of enemy radars; while ANTIDOT 2-U/EA can perform jamming or spoofing.
As a follow-up to ANTIDOT 2-U/ES and EA pods, ASELSAN is developing the ASOJ 234-U stand-off jamming pod that can be mounted on AKINCI’s central hardpoint. The pod is set to be used for the AKINCI-based UAV-SOJ project with a longer range and far higher output.
In addition to ASELSAN, TÜBİTAK BİLGEM is developing its own series of UAV EW pods, which were unveiled during SAHA EXPO 2024. The options include ESM, ECM, and missile warning+decoy launcher pods.

Bayraktar TB3 shipborne UCAV (PT-1R) developed by Baykar dropped three MAM-L TV/IIR glide munitions with man-in-the-loop capability in a single sortie.

The first test of ROKETSAN's MAM-L TV/IIR glide munition from Bayraktar TB3 UCAV, which is set to be a pivotal part of TCG Anadolu LHD’s air wing, covered three consecutive drops on a target.

Bayraktar TB3 previously test-fired UAV-122 aeroballistic missile, KEMANKEŞ 1 loitering munition, MAM-T glide munition, and baseline MAM-L glide munition.

MAM-L TV/IIR offers a longer range compared to the laser/GNSS guided baseline MAM-L, at 25+ km, thanks to no constraint from laser designation/sensing.

In addition to increased range, optical seekers offer fire-and-forget capability in cases where the targets can be picked up automatically by the guidance algorithm, which allows multiple engagements at the same time on moving targets.

The optical seeker also features a man-in-the-loop mode for target selection or manual control at the final phase through a datalink, which sets the launching UCAV as a relay between the GCS and munition.

TOYGUN EOTS Completes First Test Onboard Baykar’s KIZILELMA TurDef
First flight test of TOYGUN 100 Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS) was performed with Baykar’s KIZILELMA unmanned fighter’s fifth prototype at night.

Shortly after the spotting on KIZILELMA PT-5 which also flew with MURAD 100-A AESA radar, TOYGUN 100 EOTS was tested onboard the prototype of KIZILELMA during night to demonstrate its imaging capabilities.

Thanks to TOYGUN 100, KIZILELMA will be capable of seeker-fitted air-to-surface munitions like TEBER, LGK, LAÇİN, and TOLUN-IIR to full capacity on its own.

TOYGUN 100 EOTS has been mainly developed for unmanned combat aircraft like KIZILELMA and ANKA-III, to provide optical targeting at long range through MWIR imaging and laser designator.
The system mainly consists of a 1280x1024 MWIR camera and a 1064 nm laser designator with a range of 35 km. In addition to the high-resolution IR imaging, TOYGUN 100 is fitted inside a low RCS aperture for compliance with the low observability requirements of its intended platforms.



Another contributing factor to TOYGUN 100’s low observability is the fact that it is a passive sensor that can detect targets at sufficient ranges without emitting signals like a radar, which can be considered an edge for deep strike missions.

Alongside TOYGUN 100 EOTS and MURAD 100-A AESA radar, KARAT 100 IRST, optimised for air-to-air passive detection, is also planned for KIZILELMA, as seen during IDEF2025.

KIZILELMA Unmanned Fighter Flies With GÖKDOĞAN BVRAAM TurDef
The fifth prototype of KIZILELMA (PT-5), not long after its tests with MURAD 100-A AESA radar and TOYGUN 100 EOTS, performed a linked flight test for telemetry evaluation of GÖKDOĞAN BVRAAMs fitted on external hardpoints. GÖKDOĞAN BVRAAM and BOZDOĞAN BVRAAM, coupled with the MURAD 100-A AESA radar, will provide KIZILELMA with air-to-air capabilities on the league of modern fighter jets.

While KIZILELMA remains slower than a full-sized fighter jet due to its current engine, future versions with more powerful engines to provide better thrust-to-weight ratio are expected to close this gap. Speed and altitude are important factors on an air-to-air missile's range due to them being the first launch conditions. However, on the sensor side, MURAD 100-A (Later to be swapped out for reduced probability of intercept variant MURAD 200-A) AESA radar will provide KIZILELMA the needed capabilities to use BVRAAMs effectively when it comes to tracking and midcourse updates, as seen from the recent test.

KIZILELMA Unmanned Fighter to Use UAV-230, 300 ER and EREN TurDef
ROKETSAN CEO Murat İkinci stated that Baykar’s KIZILELMA will use UAV-230 and the larger 300 ER aeroballistic missiles, as well as EREN loitering munition.

Murat İkinci, during an interview with TRT News at Dubai Airshow 2025, stated that the UAV-230 aeroballistic missile, 300 ER aeroballistic missile, and EREN turbojet-powered loitering munition will be used on the KIZILELMA unmanned fighter.

UAV-230
UAV-230 has been test-fired from AKINCI UCAV at different ranges, the longest range being 156 km so far. However, when a faster and higher flying platform like KIZILELMA is the launch platform, the range is likely to be significantly longer than the officially given 150 km. The missile developed from the TRG-230 guided artillery rocket can carry a 42 kg warhead with HE-FRAG, shaped charge, and thermobaric options.

300 ER
300 ER was unveiled during the IDEF2025 exhibition as the largest member of ROKETSAN’s aeroballistic missile family. With a length of five meters and a diameter of 370 mm, 300 ER can reach a considerably longer range of 500 km. In addition to GNSS/INS guidance, the missile can be fitted with a TV seeker for terminal guidance.

EREN
EREN, like 300 ER, was unveiled during IDEF2025 as a multi-role loitering munition with a small turbojet engine and a range of 100 km. Despite the long range and sufficient warhead to knock out moderately armoured targets, EREN weighs 35 kg, which is lighter than even the UMTAS ATGM. Considering KIZILELMA’s carrying capacity, EREN might be fitted on multiple carriage racks. In addition to the combination of loitering capabilities, compactness, and long range, EREN’s IIR seeker and agility allow it to engage low-speed aircraft in addition to ground targets. The munition was first tested from AKINCI UCAV shortly after IDEF2025.

KIZILELMA Scores Simulated Hit on F-16 with GÖKDOĞAN TurDef
After the linked flight test with GÖKDOĞAN, KIZILELMA unmanned fighter locked on an F-16 with MURAD 100-A radar and achieved a simulated hit using GÖKDOĞAN.

The test with GÖKDOĞAN BVRAAM that followed shortly after the linked flight test to evaluate telemetry saw KIZILELMA using MURAD 100-A AESA radar to lock on an F-16 and performing a simulated firing of GÖKDOĞAN, resulting in a hit.

In this context, a simulated firing does not involve an actual firing of the missile but rather a prediction of whether the missile will hit or not with known kinematics for the missile and conditions for the target, launch aircraft, and environment. This allows for multiple simulations without spending actual missiles as a way to see if a missile works as intended.

Verifications of GÖKDOĞAN’s integration work hint that actual firing tests with KIZILELMA are likely to commence in late 2025 or early 2026.

KIZILELMA will also receive the BOZDOĞAN WVRAAM, which is a heavier and faster counterpart to the in-use AIM-9 line of missiles in the Turkish Air Force as a complement to the GÖKDOĞAN.
