Final form of Cats ? And below pic has lots of it....looks like already passed prototype phase...What are they gonna do with this much FLIR.....since ANKA is not ready, they would be for T-129 ? (my assumption)
Looks different from that pic...I think, Bismark also spotted the difference...But it should be CATS, final form.

and you must goto TEI and take the course. If you want to ride a horse you dont buy a horse.
Bro, Anka-S is not in service and will not be for some time. The engine TEI developed is for Anka-S, I'm guessing that they produced some of those engines to train air force maintenance teams, hence being handed over to TSK, as is stated in the link. Like I stated in previous post, I'm assuming this. Link could be erroneous, they may have meant TAI.. Or, perhaps TSK is changing out TEI modified Thielert engine with TEI engine, which to me, sounds like the most fishiest option..
The thing is, you can make reverse-engineering on Thielert engine and nobody will care. Except China, but we all know that China doesn't really care on intellectual property! Make copy as much as you can!

Last month the MALE UAV performed its longest flight yet – spending more than 26 hours in the air. It also reached its highest altitude to date, a height of 30,250 feet. Both these measurements exceeded required specifications.
One other milestone was the first test with a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) that was built by Aselsan especially for the Anka-S for both ground and maritime surveillance, according to Erol Oğuz, avionics systems and software manager of TAI’s UAV systems department.
The Anka-S has a 17.3m wingspan, so only a scale model was displayed by TAI at DSA 2016. With a 200kg payload capacity, it will feature FLIR’s Star SAFIRE EO/IR, a Turkish-built high-definition camera and the aforementioned SAR/ground moving target indicator. In addition, it will have an air traffic control radio to allow flights in civilian airspace.

This needs to be confirmed...but when you look at the weight of the both systems. Star SAFIRE III: 10 KG, ASELSAN CATS: 60 KG."it will feature FLIR’s Star SAFIRE EO/IR, " ?

Is the shape of the Anka with SATCOM going to be different from the older versions?
Looking at those pictures with the sattelite dish it looks as if the nose would have to be bulb shaped rather than flat?

Now i realized brochure says:
TFU Weight <98 lbs (<44 kg)
CEU Weight 23.0 lbs (10.4 kg)
So, it makes 54.4 kg, i guess...maybe Aselsan couldn't keep up with the schedule of ANKA.....that said, we saw serial production Aselsan CATS a few days ago......something fishy.
