Assersan is one of the few Turkish military enterprises involved in land, sea and air. Headquartered in Ankara, turkey, the company's main business is to research, develop and manufacture advanced weapons and equipment for the army, navy and air force. The company is also one of the main contractors of the Turkish Army, and the main shareholder is the Turkish Army Foundation.
First look at aselsan's self-driving car, there are two major series, the "Kaplan" series and the UAP.
The "Kaplan" series of unmanned vehicles adopts a modular design and performs different tasks by carrying different modules. The chassis was similar to Hafsan's BARKEN, both tracked. The most obvious difference is the number of wheels: "Kaplan" uses 6 pairs of load wheels, barken is 4 pairs.
The UKAP driverless car is the big guy in the Turkish driverless car we introduced this time, jointly developed by Aselsan and Kate Messiler. UKAP is similar to Estonia's "Thenes" unmanned vehicle, consisting of two identical tracked walking systems plus a connecting platform in the middle.
The walking mechanism is made of rubber tracks, which are lightweight and quiet, the wider tracks help reduce pressure on the ground, and there are armor plates on both sides to provide protection, and the upper track fenders are equipped with headlights. The middle of the body can carry a SARP unmanned turret of Asselsan Company, and the turret can be replaced with machine guns, grenade launchers and other weapons.
Look at Axelsan's drone. First of all, let's talk about a feature of his drone: it is not big.
The ARI-1T drone can perform artillery reconnaissance, school firing missions, and can also be responsible for base and fortress defense. The photoelectric payload on board can transmit signals to the ground station in real time, with a combat radius of 15 kilometers, an endurance of 2 hours, and a maximum take-off weight of 38 kilograms.
MiUS/MUAS drones are similar in appearance to Belka's "reconnaissance" and "mini" drones, and are similar in size. The drone can perform reconnaissance and surveillance tasks, fly by hand, and recover by parachute. The total weight of the aircraft is less than 8 kg, the combat radius is 15 km, and the endurance time is 2 hours.
The Serce-1 UAV adopts a six-rotor layout, with a combat radius of more than 5 kilometers, an endurance of more than 30 minutes, a load of no more than 1 kilogram, and can only carry an integrated camera.
In addition to running on the ground and flying in the sky, Axelsan also has three unmanned boats in the water.
The "Albatross" T unmanned target boat is a high-speed target boat developed for surface shooting training, which can simulate tactical maneuvering and asymmetric threats on the surface. In addition to simulating target threats, it can also transmit collected data to a control station for evaluation of the effectiveness of the shooting.
The "Albatross" T unmanned target boat has a displacement of 950 kg, a length of 5.5 meters, and a width of 1.65 meters. The power plant is a diesel engine with a maximum speed of more than 40 knots, a combat radius of 10 nautical miles, and an endurance of more than 6 hours.
The Albatross K unmanned target boat (right below) is a high-speed target boat developed for fire training in close defense guns and missiles. Like the Albatross T, it can transmit the data collected during training to the control station to evaluate the effectiveness of the shooting training.
The "Albatross" K unmanned target boat has a displacement of 3 to 5 tons, a length of 10 to 16 meters, and a width of 4.5 meters. The power plant is two diesel engines, with a maximum speed of more than 35 knots, a combat radius of 10 nautical miles, and an endurance of more than 6 hours. The boat can carry targets of 9 to 25 square meters, cameras and signal lights for navigation.
Levent unmanned boats are made of common hard-shell inflatable rafts as a platform with a remote control weapons station in front.
After finishing the Axelsan company today, tomorrow we will introduce several Turkish companies with scattered products to put an end to this series.
