Baykar Demonstrates Kemankeş 1’s Air-to-Air Capability TurDef
Kemankeş 1 jet-powered loitering munition’s test from Akıncı UCAV included the demonstration of air-to-air capability through a dive on a hovering target.
Kemankeş 1’s firing test from Akıncı UCAV not only marks the first firing test from the turboprop-powered UCAV but also the first demonstration of air-to-air use.
In the test, two Kemankeş 1 jet-powered loitering munitions performed simulated interceptions on targets carried by quadcopter UAVs.
Kemankeş 1, with a range of 150+ km and a warhead weighing 5 kg, is mainly intended against soft-skinned surface targets, especially those in contested environments. Additionally, the onboard gimbal optical system with laser rangefinder allows for alternative use as a deployable ISR asset.
