Turkey’s Dearsan Shipyard Unveils New Combat USV

Turkey's Dearsan Shipyard unveiled a new family of armed unmanned surface vessels (USV), the USV 15, on its social media accounts on 23 December. [...] The prototype introduced on social media is dubbed “ATAK USV 15,” which indicates an attacking version of the USV armed with a stabilized gun system and a missile launcher. USV 15 is a vessel family name rather than a specific model. Dearsan revealed that the sea trials of the attack USV will be conducted soon. [...]

The USV 15 is a composite-hulled boat with an overall length of 14.79m and a beam of 3.83m. The main power will come from two diesel engines capable of reaching speeds of more than 50 knots, with the company claiming that the top speed can be increased to 60 knots depending on user requirements. Two waterjets are installed on the vessel. At economical speed, the operational range will be 300 nautical miles. The attack variant will be armed with a 12.7 mm Stabilized Remote Controlled Machine Gun and a Stabilized Turret Weapon System capable of launching Turkish Roketsan’s laser-guided Cirit and L-UMTAS missiles.
