Within the scope of the AKINCI UAV Project Broadband Satellite Communication System Project contract signed between the Presidency of Defense Industries and ASELSAN to be used in the AKINCI Attack Unmanned Aerial Vehicle manufactured by BAYKAR Technology, the deliveries of Air Satellite Communication Terminals and Portable Satellite Communication Systems were completed in 6 months.
With the Air Satellite Communication Terminal and Portable Satellite Communication Centers, which were originally designed and developed by ASELSAN with domestic means, AKINCI was provided with beyond-sight communication capability.
TEBER-82 Firing from AKINCI TİHA
On April 23, 2022, BAYKAR Technology announced on its official Twitter account that the TEBER-82 guidance kit, developed by ROKETSAN from Bayraktar AKINCI Offensive Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, for the Mk-500 type 82 lb general purpose bombs, was tested for the first time.
During the test shot, AKINCI PT-3 (3rd Prototype) was fired at the representative surface target with TEBER-82. AKINCI TİHA, which was tested with TEBER-82, was previously tested with MAM-L, MAM-T, MAM-C and HGK-84, which was developed by TUBITAK SAGE for Mk-2000 type 84 lb general purpose bombs.
The first major operation Akıncı TİHA participated in was Claw-Lock
Operation Claw-Lock, launched in northern Iraq on April 18, 2022, was the first major operation developed by BAYKAR, in which Akıncı participated. BAYKAR Technology announced the development with its Twitter account. The post reads: “Bayraktar Akıncı TİHA and Bayraktar TB2 SİHA are on duty 7/24 in Claw Lock Operation”.
AKINCI Attack Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
AKINCI Assault UAV (TİHA), which has a 20-meter wingspan with its unique twisted wing structure and can carry a large number of national smart ammunition, will also be smarter and more aware of environmental conditions, thanks to its unique artificial intelligence system, and will offer advanced flight and diagnostic functions to its users.
Like Bayraktar TB2, Akıncı, which aims to be a leader in its class, will also perform some of the tasks performed by warplanes. The electronic support pod it carries will serve with much more advanced payloads such as satellite communication systems, air-to-air radars, obstacle detection radar, synthetic aperture radar.
With Akıncı, which will reduce the burden of warplanes, aerial bombardment can also be carried out. Akıncı UAV, which will be equipped with air-to-air missiles developed nationally in our country, can also be used in air-air missions.
Bayraktar Akıncı Attack Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System, which has been worked on to become the most advanced technological system in the world in its class, has been produced locally and nationally as MAM-L, MAM-C, Cirit, L-UMTAS, Bozok, MK-81, MK-82, MK- 83 will be equipped with ammunition, missiles and bombs such as the Winged Guidance Kit (KGK)-MK-82, Gökdoğan, Bozdoğan, SOM-A
