Anka-III Performs Third Flight with an Endurance of Two Hours
ANKA-III, which made its first flight on December 28, 2023, took off for the third time and flew for two hours. According to the information the Anadolu Agency correspondent received, ANKA-III UCAV met the sky for the third time. ANKA-III, which flew for two hours in its last flight, reached a speed of 160 knots and rose to an altitude of 10 thousand feet. ANKA III thus improved all flight values. Autopilot and flight mechanics tests were also carried out during the flight. There is no information whether the landing gears were retracted. Following the evaluations of each flight test, new performance and mission envelopes will be opened for ANKA-III, and efforts will be made to prepare the platform for the mission. Development efforts for ANKA-III started in 2022. The system requirements were frozen after the System Requirements Review Meeting in March of the same year. The Preliminary Design Review (PDR) meeting held in April 2022 determined the exterior geometry design. Design studies were carried out for the changing subsystems, especially the new propulsion system, of ANKA-III, whose basic avionics architecture is common with ANKA and AKSUNGUR. The Critical Design Review (CDR) Phase began in October 2022. In November 2022, the first detailed part of the aircraft production was carried out.

Burkina Faso Shows Bayraktar AKINCI and TB2 UAVs
Baykar’s AKINCI UCAV was seen alongside Bayraktar TB2 armed UAVs serving Burkina Faso with various munitions. The UCAV was seen fitted with MAM-L and MAM-T munitions. However, ROKETSAN’s TEBER GPS+Laser and TÜBİTAK SAGE’s HGK GPS guidance kits were presented alongside the UCAV, hinting that the African country has acquired heavier munitions for AKINCI UCAV as well. The UAVs were inspected by Interim Leader Ibrahim Traore, who came to power with a coup on September 30, 2022. Traore is known for his heavy opposition to French policies and represents an example of France's declining influence in African countries. Another surprise user of AKINCI in Africa was revealed as Ethiopia, showing what appeared to be the 40th serial production AKINCI from what was seen on the tail. As of now, among the nine customers of AKINCI UCAV, the known ones are Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Kyrgyzstan, Ethiopia, and Burkina Faso. Most of these countries also use the previous model, Bayraktar TB2.

ASELSAN has been awarded a contract to modernise the engagement and sensor capabilities of Chilean Leopard 2 MBTs. In an interview with Graciela Ibanez recorded by TRT World during FIDAE 2024, ASELSAN CEO Ahmet Akyol stated that Leopard 2 main battle tanks of the Chilean Army will be modernised with ASELSAN’s various systems. A model of the modernisation package on Leopard 2 was also shown. The fire control system will be replaced with ASELSAN’s VOLKAN, and a SARP-type RCWS will be integrated to provide additional firepower. The gunner’s optics will also be renewed, with what appears to be from the KARTALGÖZÜ series of sights. On the situational awareness side, laser and missile warning systems will be installed against ATGMs, and an electro-optical system will be added for the commander.

KEMANKEŞ 2 Mini Cruise Missile Begins Testing
Baykar has started the new member of its jet-powered KEMANKEŞ line of munition, AI-Supported KEMANKEŞ 2, with a launch from speeding pickup. The test was conducted nearly a year after the firing test of KEMANKEŞ from Bayraktar TB2 armed UAV. Unlike the previous variant, KEMANKEŞ 2 was launched using a pickup speed to provide a first speed and lift.




KEMANKEŞ 2 appears to be significantly larger than KEMANKEŞ, which weighed 30 kg with a capacity for six-kilogram warheads. While the video released by Baykar doesn’t show the entire munition, parts like the wing, engine, and tail fins closely resemble the KaGeM V3 jointly developed with Pakistan. However, TurDef has learned that the two munitions aren’t the same. The new munition is stated to have a range exceeding 200 km and an endurance of one hour. The guidance package consists of an electro-optical system and communication with the ground control system. Baykar stated that both navigation and optic guidance will benefit from Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is understood that the larger KEMANKEŞ 2 might be the ground-based member of the KEMANKEŞ family for hitting more hardened targets. While the test was done with a speeding pickup, the finalised version might be launched from catapults or multi-slot launchers using rocket-assisted take-off (RATO).

TÜBİTAK Finishes AKBABA Missile’s Antenna Layout Analysis

ROKETSAN’s AKBABA anti-radiation missile’s second phase antenna layout analysis was completed according to the 2023 Annual Report of TÜBİTAK. The analysis was made using the data from ROKETSAN. AKBABA is a new anti-radiation missile being developed by ROKETSAN to succeed the U.S.-made AGM-88 series of rocket-powered anti-radiation missiles in the TuAF service. ROKETSAN has not shared any specifications for the missile. AKBABA is planned to be used on KAAN and F-16 ÖZGÜR fighter jets. Other platforms might be included in the future, depending on tolerances. Anti-radiation missiles are designed to destroy or force air defence systems’ radars to retreat, with their passive RF seekers picking up emissions. Many such missiles have been developed since the starting point of the Cold War. When new-generation anti-radiation missile designs are observed, enhancements on rocket engines or ramjet propulsion types can be observed to achieve longer ranges. Some missiles like AGM-88G AARGM-ER utilise seekers with mmW radars to keep the crosshairs on targeted radars. The 2023 Annual Report includes some other activities of TÜBİTAK. Laboratories affiliated with TÜBİTAK Test Evaluation Vice Presidency (TDBY) provided General TEMPEST Installation Guide Training to Baykar Makina. Baykar has been the target of various espionage activities in recent years. The Aviation Engine Materials Development Program conducts studies on high-temperature engine materials, which will be used for the domestic production of the KAAN engine. The prototype production of such materials started with stainless steel and nickel-based superalloys. Work was carried out to develop the Integrated Sonar System (BOSS), which is fully integrated into the Combat Management System and can operate as Monostatic, Bistatic and Multistatic for the TF-2000 Anti-Air Warfare Destroyer. Forty-nine externally supported projects were carried out at TÜBİTAK SAGE as of the end of 2023. Within the scope of the GÖKTUĞ Project, aircraft firing tests of Turkiye’s Air-Air Missiles, GÖKDOĞAN and BOZDOĞAN missiles, were successfully carried out. In addition, a new term contract for GÖKDOĞAN and BOZDOĞAN missiles has been signed, and within the scope of the contract, the first low-scale production of 25 missiles and integration activities into F-16 PO-III aircraft will be carried out.
