HUNTER Interceptor UAV Gets Guidance from AURA 100-G Radar TurDef
SKYDAGGER shared a video for the HUNTER (AVCI) interceptor UAV, which includes integration with ASELSAN’s in-service AURA 100-G (ARDA) UAV detection radar.
SKYDAGGER’s new video for the HUNTER interceptor UAV that was recently tested includes a part showing ASELSAN’s AURA 100-G UAV detection radar and feed for midcourse guidance.
Making use of the interceptor UAVs’ maximum range that extends beyond most short-range systems requires a ground-based radar that can track multiple targets at longer distances. At the same time, optics are better suited for target identification and terminal homing.
AURA 100-G used in the test has been introduced for different applications, including standalone use, searching radar for İHTAR C-UAS jammer as well as GÖKBERK laser weapon (Recently replaced by AURA 200-G AESA radar). The Ku-band radar with an instrumented range of 7.5 km has an adjustable antenna elevation between -24 degrees and +24 degrees and a 30 RPM rotational speed.
HUNTER, carrying a 500 gr warhead, can reach a maximum speed of 320 km/h and a range of 20 km. For terminal guidance, HUNTER is fitted with a dual TV+IR camera. First of its type to be produced in Turkiye, HUNTER was tested towards the end of March 2026.

STM’s New Long-Range Kamikaze UAV Makes Maiden Flight
STM shared the first flight test video of its new long-range kamikaze UAV, which was previously shown in its rendering for upcoming unmanned platforms.
After the man-portable ALPAGU and the multi-platform ALPAGUT, STM has introduced a long-range kamikaze UAV identical to the Shaheed line in terms of platform. The new kamikaze UAV was shown alongside other new types such as anti-radiation fixed wing and interceptor UAV.
The social media post did not disclose specifications due to being a teaser. However, a range spanning hundreds of kilometres can be expected.
Additionally, a black part is seen at the nose section, which suggests the presence of an optical seeker for terminal guidance.
While the kamikaze UAV is externally not so different from the commonly used Shaheeds, the internal workings are more than likely to incorporate the capabilities that STM has developed over the years. These might include swarm capabilities demonstrated by KARGU rotary-wing kamikaze UAV and KERKES GNSS-independent navigation system.
