SAVX Introduces KORGAN-M Multi-Function UAV Station TurDef
SAVX has unveiled the KORGAN-M multi-function UAV station intended for small-sized multicopter UAVs to perform functions such as storage and mission planning.

KORGAN-M station will allow remote deployment and operation planning of UAVs with concealed storage capabilities. In addition to standard features for similar systems, KORGAN-M is integrated with TİTRA’s SEYYAH visual navigation system to ensure GNSS-independent operation. KORGAN-M can process the feed from connected UAVs with AI support to provide refined information.

The system can be used at extreme distances from the field, with provision for internet or closed network-based connection, reinforced by autonomous operation.

SAVX, a subsidiary of TİTRA, has also developed the MERKÜT FPV UAV, which has recently entered the inventory of the Turkish Armed Forces.

STM Completes ALPAGU Loitering Munitions’ Domestic Delivery TurDef
STM announced that it has completed the domestic deliveries of the tube-launched ALPAGU fixed-wing loitering munition, which a single infantryman can operate.

STM, announcing the completion of ALPAGU’s deliveries, did not disclose the number of loitering munitions delivered. Alongside the KARGU family of quadcopter kamikaze UAVs, ALPAGU serves as the compact and fast option.

In addition to domestic use, ALPAGU has been exported to an unknown customer with the first batch delivered towards the end of 2023.

The one-man-portable ALPAGU is capable of engaging stationary and moving targets using a fixed EO/IR seeker. The loitering munition with a range of eight kilometres can fly for 15 minutes at a speed of 72 km/h.

Whereas ALPAGU is the man-portable solution, STM and ROKETSAN have developed the considerably larger ALPAGUT, which was tested from AKINCI UCAV this year. The multi-platform ALPAGUT with a 11 kg warhead and 60+ minutes of endurance can reach a range of 60+ km.

Tusas arbeitet an der Entwicklung einer Jet betriebenen Kamikaze Drohne, die Drohne heißt Ayaz. Diese Kamikaze Drohne soll eine größere Reichweite haben und einen schwereren Sprengkopf als die Kamikaze Version der Simsek Drohne tragen.

TUSAŞ Develops a new Jet-Powered Kamikaze UAV: AYAZ TurDef
Following the tests of ŞİMŞEK UAV and the RATO-capable ŞİMŞEK-K UAV in kamikaze configuration, TUSAŞ appears to be working on a dedicated design for use as a kamikaze UAV. The name for the upcoming kamikaze UAV AYAZ was spotted on the website of the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office, which is an entity of the Ministry of Industry and Technology.

Considering the limited flight time of the ŞİMŞEK family of multi-purpose UAVs, primarily meant to act as targets or decoys, AYAZ might bring a longer range and a larger warhead. For reference, ŞİMŞEK-K can reach a range of 150 km (Datalinked) or 500 km (Fire and Forget); with a payload capacity of 18 kg when used as a kamikaze UAV.

SKYDAGGER Tests Skydagger 7 and TOYCA-05 Kamikaze UAVs
Turkish UAV manufacturer SKYDAGGER has tested the Skydagger 7 FPV UAV with a drop from Baykar’s KALKAN VTOL UAV and the new TOYCA-05 fixed-wing kamikaze UAV.

Skydagger shared the test footages of its two kamikaze UAVs consecutively on social media. Skydagger 7 FPV dropped from KALKAN VTOL UAV and TOYCA-05 launched with a catapult.

KALKAN VTOL UAV Drops Skydagger 7 FPV
The test with Skydagger 7 marks the first time KALKAN was fitted with armament. KALKAN was originally developed for ISR operations without the use of runways or catapults. The lightweight build of most FPV UAVs has led to lightweight UAVs like KALKAN gaining armament provisions, which previously had zero options for guided weaponry.

Skydagger’s FPV family is available in 7”, 10”, and 15” variants, which have different payload capacities (two, three, and five kilograms, respectively).
