Bayraktar TB3 UCAV Drops MAM-L TV/IIR Smart Munitions TurDef
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.
