VIDEX2024: ULAQ PSV USV Offered to Vietnam with KMC-U
ROKETSAN displays the ARES Shipyard and Meteksan Defence's ULAQ PSV USV with a KMC-U missile launcher in VIDEX2024 in Vietnam.
Following FNSS PARS 6x6 ÖMTTZA, KMC-U is displayed on ARES Shipyards-METEKSAN JV's ULAQ Port Security Vessel (PSV) USV.
KMC-U is the new version of the KMC missile launcher, adding a 7.62 mm machine gun and the capability to fire a UMTAS-GM series of ATGMs with ranges beyond baseline UMTAS ATGM.
ULAQ PSV is the first configuration of the ULAQ family of USVs, designed for port security and other patrol missions. The USV can be deployed from ports and ships with suitable bays and controlled from a ground control station or warships.
For Vietnam, ULAQ can support the existing patrol capabilities as a remote sensor and effector with its payloads. Additionally, ULAQ can escort larger ships thanks to its armament options consisting of CİRİT 70 mm laser-guided missiles and UMTAS ATGMs.
ULAQ's first export customer is the Qatari Navy, with the acquisition of ULAQ PSV. The Turkish Navy has ordered the newer ULAQ 12 ASW and ASuW configurations with an additional 12.7 mm RCWS at the bow.
