SSB & STM | KERKES | GPS-Independent Autonomous Navigation System

[dBSPL]

On 23.08.2019, the GPS-Independent Autonomous Navigation System Development Project (KERKES) was signed between SSB and STM in order to develop autonomous navigation and attack capabilities in combat environments where GPS was disabled. On 13 January 2020, together with 16 different projects, also the contract signatures of this R & D project were take place with ceremony held in the SSB.

After the UAV-Swarm capability supported by AI, STM&SSB started the KERKES-Global Positioning System Independent Autonomous Navigation System Development Project, where UAVs will also work in non-GPS environment. Very few countries in the world working on this technology. In the absence of communication datas, location estimation will be determined by optical awereness. The target will determined by AI thanks to deep learning techniques, will be hit by tactical approaches by the AI's itself, despite all kinds of ED activities.

Project has the following subtitles:
-location determination under enemy ED/EA,
-independent autonomous navigation,
-attribute extraction AE,
-specific point recognitions with deep learning,
-dividing the swarm into different groups,
-image based distance measurement,
-target prioritization
-autonomous re-task planning

Could be ideal for engaging enemy Armour formations if armed with the right warhead, and hundreds were employed all at once.

"We have successfully completed and delivered the KERKES Project, which enables our UAVs to operate in areas without GPS. With this technology that few countries in the world are working on, our UAVs will perform their duties without being affected by electronic warfare threats such as GPS blinding."

I hope a program like darpa c-scan is developed. That would provide true independent and autonomous precision guidance to each individual weapon or platform using it.

bs, it is nothing but fancy words. It is based on the same technology what we are using, terrain references, INS and other systems like gyroscope.

On a single chip scale.

still is makes no sense, the Turkish system works and can hit the target 'independent and autonomous precision guidance'. You wrote true independent are you saying this will not?

I still do not understand wher you want to go.

C-SCAN plans to build complete GPS level accuracy on a single chip. That will give individual PGMs and platforms autonomous precision location and timing data without a need to communicate to any external system or teaming elements and would not need to rely on extrapolated data which may not be as accurate and without the need to carry image library to match features to find the target.
