TUSAŞ Offers AKSUNGUR UAV to US Border Security
Firm Speaking to CNN Türk, TUSAŞ CEO Mehmet Demiroğlu stated that AKSUNGUR UAV was proposed to the U.S.-based firm performing border security in FIA2024. Demiroğlu stated that the exhibition featured a discussion about the AKSUNGUR UAV, which has an endurance of more than 55 hours. He stated that the firm was offered AKSUNGUR to support border patrol activities on the U.S.-Mexican border.
Due to its longer endurance than other UAVs/UCAVs of similar size, thanks to a pair of PD170 turbodiesel engines with lower consumption than gas turbines, AKSUNGUR has potential for civilian applications in areas like border patrol and disaster relief. The latter was demonstrated during the disaster relief efforts in the aftermath of the Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes on February 6, 2023. An AKSUNGUR UAV performed observation and acted as a mobile communication station with onboard relay equipment.
